Reliable, environmentally friendly, and quiet bypass pumping is one of RH Pumpers’ core competencies. When normal operations must be interrupted—due to sewer work, pump station renovations, or pipe breaks—a bypass pumping system ensures that water continues to be transported, allowing work to proceed without overflow, contamination, or operational shutdowns.

We are among the few companies in Denmark with both the equipment and the expertise to handle all types of pumping projects—from the smallest pumping jobs to the largest and most complex construction projects. We handle the entire process: sizing, installation, round-the-clock monitoring, and dismantling.

Frequently asked questions

Get answers to the most common questions about bypass pumping

Capacity (m³/h), pump type, piping, monitoring and backup, expected duration, operation and shift schedule, as well as dismantling—and what’s included versus what’s an extra charge. That way, you can make a realistic comparison of quotes.

Operational reliability. Specifically, this means sufficient capacity, 24/7 availability with fast response times, SRO monitoring and backup, as well as a complete solution with documentation. For urgent tasks, response time is the most important factor.

Yes, you can. Overpumping solutions can be equipped with alarms, level sensors and SRO monitoring so that operation and capacity can be followed in real time – and any faults can be handled quickly.

We do. We take care of the entire process: dimensioning, project review, pumps, installation, monitoring and dismantling. The end customer gets a solution that runs smoothly from the start.

RH Pumper offers fast response time and can often deliver a complete overpumping solution the same day – including pumps, pipes, hoses and reliable temporary installations. We are open 24/7/365.

Powerful electric, submersible or diesel pumps are often used depending on water volume, head and site conditions. RH Pumper selects the optimal pump type for the job.

Bypass pumping is typically used when renovating sewer lines, servicing pumping stations, replacing valves or in high water situations where extra capacity is needed to avoid flooding.

Bypass pumping is a temporary solution where wastewater, rainwater or process water is pumped around an existing facility while repairs, replacements or renovations are carried out. This ensures uninterrupted operation.
