##### Allflo Pumps & Equipment was engaged by a leading Australian **university water research laboratory** to deliver a short-notice, high-volume pumping solution to support critical flood-related water management experiments.

###### Following severe flooding events in North Queensland, the laboratory required a pump capable of moving extremely large volumes of water within a tight timeframe.

 

### The Challenge

The university initially sought to **hire** a large pump for the experiment.

However:

- The required capacity was significant
- The project timeline was limited to **one month**
- International researchers were already scheduled to attend
- Any delay would severely disrupt the program

Compounding the challenge, Allflo does not operate as a pump hire business.

 

### The Allflo Solution

Rather than decline the request, Allflo proposed an alternative approach: **design and manufacture a complete new pumpset within the client’s hire budget**, allowing the laboratory to retain the equipment for future research.

The selected solution was a **Remko RM 650-40**, featuring:

- **650 mm inlet and discharge**
- Capacity equivalent to **emptying an Olympic swimming pool (2,500,000 L) in approximately 42 minutes**
- Suitability for large-scale water movement and experimental testing

Detailed design, manufacturing and assembly were overseen in-house to meet the strict timeframe.

 

### Implementation

Due to the size and weight of the pumpset, Allflo coordinated:

- Special open-deck transport
- Crane logistics
- On-site positioning at the laboratory

All logistics were planned and executed to ensure on-time delivery.

 

### Outcome

Despite tight margins and time pressure, the pumpset was **delivered on time and within budget**. The university gained not only a solution for the immediate experiment but a long-term asset for future water research projects.

The laboratory’s senior engineering team commended Allflo for responsiveness, problem-solving, and post-delivery support.

This project highlights Allflo’s ability to deliver **engineered, high-capacity pumping solutions under extreme time and performance constraints**, particularly for research, flood response, and water management applications.
