Case Study 1

Project: New Leisure Facility

Location: Bakewell, Derbyshire

Client: Balmoral Associates

Overview: A large area of ground was excavated to a depth of approximately eight metres to enable to construction of basement areas.

3 nr diesel units pumping away in line with one of our Settlement Tanks

Solution: As the river ran within 10 metres of the site, water was a major problem. This is where expertise of Maris Pumps Ltd came in. For the next eighteen months we worked closely with the client to keep the water at bay during this crucial time with between six to eight pumps coping with ingress 24/7.
