New Mud Sucker Stormwater Management Pump shown at Mid West USA airport upgrade and expansion
Many airports in the United States and Canada are undergoing upgrades to infrastructure due to surging demand in air travel following the COVID pandemic. One of the lesser discussed elements of airport improvement projects are the upgrades necessary for stormwater management, environmentally responsible handling of chemicals, waste oil, sewage and much more. Airport pumping systems are critical to managing heavy rain, melting snow runoff of chemicals, de-icing fluid and solids. One of our west coast customers recently contacted Wastecorp for an RFP on a California airport sump pit waste management system
“Hello, we are a civil engineering firm in the Los Angeles area working on an airport improvement project. While touring a Washington State airport upgrade that was just completed we noticed the Wastecorp Mud Sucker double diaphragm pumps in operation for storm water management. The airport operator is impressed with the way the pumps transfer heavy storm water mixed with solids especially during heavy rain and snow events. If we provide the specs for the project can you guys provide some specs and budgetary proposal?” Mohammed K. Torrance, California
Mohammed, if you send us the required specs we can definitely provide a proposal. If selected, Wastecorp assigns a dedicated airline/airport wastewater pump project manager to your project and works with you to get CAD files, drawings and everything required for submittal approval. We can also work with your airport sub-contractors for start-up services. Wastecorp has worked with CWR Contactors, Skanska, Kimley-Horn and others. When the project is turned over to the airport authority/ Port Authority we work with the maintenance crew throughout the lifecycle to ensure the pumps are working properly and can retrain new staff as required. This is part of the Wastecorp Pumps difference and commitment. The goal is that everyone involved in the project from start to finish works with pumping professionals to get the job done.
Just so you know, Wastecorp offers a wide variety of pumping systems for airlines and airports. Some of the other products we offer are
Stormwater Management Pumps
As stormy weather increases in frequency and intensity there has never been a more critical time than now for airports to upgrade their pumping systems. Millions of air travelers depend on what they can’t see to make sure their travel plans get underway as quickly as possible after heavy rain or melting snow. Quality pumps from a reputable North American pump manufacturer are one of those things that air travelers typically never see but always depend on for smooth arrival and departures. Back up pumping systems are also critical in the event of heavy rain and melting snow. Wastecorp offer Trash Flow dry prime and wet prime pumping systems that are in service at airports around the world as part of a back up plan for airport authorities tom manage severe weather events.
Mud Sucker Diaphragm Pumps are also specified by engineering firms and contractors globally to manage sump pit and lagoons at airports. Mud Sucker pumps can be connected to a variable frequency drive (VFD) and include sensors and float switches to automate pump functions and alert maintenance crews to pump component failure.
High Vacuum Pressure Pump Systems for Sewage and Maintenance
Wastecorp also manufactures a severe duty line of vacuum trailers and slide in units to manage aircraft sewage pumping for commercial airlines and aircraft hangar spill pumps. Trailer mounted and slide in systems are available ranging from 115 gallons to 2000 gallon sizes .
