Griffin Pumps Help Mitigate Albuquerque Wastewater Break (Video)

After sewage started seeping above ground last April, the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority realized it needed to fix nearly 1,500 ft of dilapidated sewer system, which might take up to eight weeks to repair. There to help was Griffin Dewatering. Behind news reporter Jeff Todd are Griffin’s Model 18 NCRD pumps, well suited to aid in the rehabilitation of America’s aging sewer infrastructure by bypassing sewage during sewer line repairs.

Griffin’s Model 18 NCRD pumps are capable of delivering flows exceeding 17,000 gallons per minute (64,352 liters per minute) and providing head capacities of 240 ft (73 meters) or more. Griffin non-clog pumps are an ideal solution for sewer bypasses, flood control, sumping or any other application requiring high volume and the ability to move trash laden effluent.

Now raw sewage is no longer bubbling up from underneath a street in Albuquerque after a 54-in. pipe collapsed. In addition to the smelly mess created by flowing sewage, crews were also attempting to repair a street that caved in, causing a huge sink hole, after the pipe collapsed. This is an impressive project that showcases Griffin’s newest pumps on the jobsite, in action and under emergency conditions. Watch the video below.
