maintenance, renovation, and replacement activities

Pumping stations, locks, weirs and other hydraulic structures

In delta and coastal areas, governments and water boards are responsible for keeping feet dry, water safety, sufficient water availability, and good water quality. We support them with maintenance, renovation, and replacement works on pumping stations, locks, weirs, and other waterworks by delivering temporary pump installations and autonomous pumping solutions that ensure the continuity of water management.

Renting temporary pumps for water management

With extensive technical expertise, strong engineering capacity, and a modern fleet of powerful mobile pump and siphon installations, Van Heck offers solutions for a wide range of issues in temporary water management. From local level management to large-scale projects where water needs to be temporarily diverted, discharged, or regulated: you can rent pumps from Van Heck that are tailored to the specific capacity and conditions of your project. Our specialists provide quickly deployable custom solutions, both for planned works and during emergencies.

Temporary pumps

Water level management

During maintenance, renovation, or replacement of hydraulic structures, we can, if desired, fully take over the function of existing pumping stations. Our autonomous temporary pumping installations are equipped with controls, monitoring, and backflow prevention, and offer the same reliability, capacity, and control as a permanent pump station. This ensures water level management is maintained, and the water system can continue safely and uninterrupted throughout the entire execution period.

we are ready for you

Emergencies

In extreme rainfall, high water, technical malfunctions, failure of pumping stations, or other unforeseen situations, quick action is crucial to minimize damage and inconvenience. That's why Van Heck has a 24/7 emergency service that is always available.

Our specialists can quickly adapt, assess the situation, and mobilize temporary pumping installations within a short time if necessary. From engineering and logistics to installation and monitoring: we deliver reliable temporary solutions that guarantee continuity in water management until the regular situation is restored.

Emergency plans

An emergency plan is a project that is fully prepared in advance in case a pumping station or other critical installation fails. This often involves large projects with significant implications. Every detail is worked out in an emergency plan: from setups and calculations to piping support. Also, aspects such as setup locations for telescopic cranes, road plates, and different pump configurations are considered.

Always deployable

Water pumping during drought

Although pumping installations are often associated with waterlogging and high water, they also play a crucial role during dry periods. Water boards and managers use pumps to keep water available where needed, maintain water levels, and monitor water quality.

Pumping installations can be used to return discharged water to higher-lying waters, ensuring that valuable freshwater is retained within the water system. Furthermore, pumps are used to circulate water, keeping it in motion. This helps maintain oxygen levels, prevents stagnation, and improves water quality during prolonged periods of drought and high temperatures.

With a wide range of mobile pumping installations, Van Heck supports water managers with both water surpluses and shortages, ensuring the water system remains manageable under all circumstances.

Fish-friendly solutions.

When talking about fish safety, many people immediately think of special pumps or protective measures such as a fish ladder or fish lift.

Fish-friendly operations do not start at the pump.

A fish-friendly temporary pumping installation (TPI) is not an option; the pumps must be compact and usually deliver a high flow rate combined with a high head. Unfortunately, this combination is never fish-friendly.

In reality, a fish-friendly temporary pumping installation starts much earlier.

Electrically driven pump units.

Our electric pumping systems are designed for continuous and efficient use. With a flow rate of 1,000 m³ to 12,700 m³ per hour per pump. Whether set up dry or wet, there is always a suitable electric solution for every water management issue.

Diesel-driven pump units.

Our diesel-driven pump units are designed for high capacities, high pressures, and maximum reliability. From large-scale dredging projects and temporary water displacement to emergencies and infrastructure works: Van Heck's installations deliver continuous performance when downtime is not an option.

Siphon systems.

The Van Heck siphon system offers one of the most environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions for water transportation. By using natural elevation differences and smart vacuum technology, water can be redirected without the high energy consumption of traditional pumps.
