Flood defence

Andel FloodPump – Advanced alarm and automatic flood pump

The system works continuously and automatically 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year

Andel's FloodPump has been specially developed for the flood defence market from a tried and trusted automatic dewatering solution that has been installed in thousands of electrical distributors and oil storage site operators, protecting assets and the environment for over 30 years.

FloodPump is an advanced, alarm and automatic flood pump system that can be deployed either inside a property or outside within a perimeter flood defence, protecting buildings and protected areas at risk from flooding. The system works continuously and automatically 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

FloodPump is flexible and can be configured to manage a range of different flood risk scenarios. The system comprises a submersible sensor unit with integrated automatic pump or pumps installed in a sump below ground level and a wall-mounted control panel. The system can send SMS alerts and can control a range of automatic flood defence devices.

Key features

Performs a multitude of functions and can be configured to fit individual requirements
The controller sends outward alarm notifications by SMS – to inform that the system is active and protecting the property
Automatically pumps out flood water and has the capability to operate two pumps both alternately and simultaneously. There is also an option to install a larger capacity pump or pumps if required
Through output relays can control other automatic equipment such as flood gates, flood doors and other closure devices
Sends alarm notifications and logs via Modbus to a Building Management System (BMS)
Provides system status alerts

FloodPump System

Insertion unit

The robust stainless steel insertion unit is equipped with a number of probes that can be set to levels to suit the flood risk in any given scenario.

Wall-mounted controller unit

The wall-mounted controller recognises conductivity between the probes and performs a multitude of automatic functions. Output relays provide round-the-clock system status alerts.

Pump

FloodPump standard pump operates at a rate of 150 litres per minute. The system can also operate two pumps – either alternating to share the load or running simultaneously as a booster system. There is also an option to install larger capacity pumps if required.

Example of how a typical cycle can work in a protected area during a flood event with rising and falling water levels

System status alerts

Loss of mains power – a total loss of mains power would trigger an alarm and outward SMS notifications powered by back-up battery – the pump cannot activate without mains power unless the system is supported by back-up generators.

System disable – this is a failsafe for detected faults, for example if the probes activate in the wrong order it indicates third-party engineer fault not water. In this case the pumps would not activate and an SMS message would be sent to advise there was a maintenance fault caused by a third-party*.

Maintenance alerts - the system will recognise fluctuations in the performance of the pump or pumps and will send SMS notifications if and when the system requires servicing.

*All pumps require regular maintenance and the insertion unit and probes should also be checked at regular intervals. This work should be undertaken by a qualified engineer, however it is important that the maintenance work is undertaken and completed correctly. The system will detect engineer faults such as the pump not being re-fitted properly or testing equipment being left in the insertion unit. If there are any engineer or third-party tampering faults detected, SMS alarm notifications will automatically be sent out.
