Custom Vertical Turbine Pump

Mandate

When our client needed to replace a critical vertical turbine pump drawing drinking water from a 130-foot-deep esker well, they turned to Technosub for a solution that delivered performance, precision, and peace of mind.

The objective was clear: design and install a new pump that could match the original unit’s flow rate, operating conditions, and physical footprint while ensuring compatibility with the existing 300 hp motor already on site.

The project called for a high level of customization and technical finesse, as the new pump would be a key component in the city’s drinking water supply system. The pump also needed to comply with NSF61 standards for municipal applications—leaving no room for compromise.

  • Use of proven National-brand components for performance and reliability
  • Custom-designed column sections manufactured in-house at Technosub
  • Flawless mechanical coupling with the existing motor
  • Robust pumping capacity: 2,200 gallons per minute at a total head of 363 feet

This project reflects Technosub’s commitment to engineering excellence, client collaboration, and customization. By combining in-house manufacturing capabilities with a deep understanding of municipal pumping systems, the team delivered a tailored solution that meets client’s exact needs, both now and into the future.
