Solution Implemented

Patna Municipality received the following pumps for the dewatering process: 40 Submersible Pumps (60HP), 20 Pumps (75HP), 25 Pumps (25HP), and 25 Pumps (16HP). Multiple areas in Patna were affected by flooding. The municipality awarded the dewatering contract to Cosmos Pumps. Our expert team conducted site assessments and analysis. Attempts to pump water into the drainage system were initially ineffective due to its poor structure. Cosmos Pumps designed and implemented a comprehensive dewatering plan. Low-lying areas and other flood-prone zones were targeted. Water was transferred to tankers and pumped out using long hoses to properly functioning drainage areas. Additionally, contained water from tankers was also directed to distant drainage systems.

Results

  • Enhanced Public Safety
  • Restored Normalcy
  • Reduced Health Risks
