Flooding stands as one of the most catastrophic challenges facing homeowners, businesses, and public infrastructures today. To combat this threat, the UK Government has made substantial investments in flood defences aimed at preventing rivers from breaching their banks.
Yet, the increasing severity of climate change has transformed flooding from an infrequent disaster into a near-annual crisis, demanding immediate and innovative solutions. During flood warnings, water authorities must act swiftly to redirect water away from high-risk areas to safer locations, like nearby fields or zones free of residential and commercial properties.
This is where the Bucher Municipal sewer cleaner emerges as a crucial ally. The Bucher Recycler RM140 Super, equipped with a powerful Vogelsang pump, can serve as a mobile pumping station, capable of shifting up to 1,000 litres of water per minute from flooded zones to safe discharge areas, effectively extending up to three-quarters of a mile. Remarkably, while utilising the Vogelsang pump, the vacuum and jetting functions remain fully operational, ensuring that no floodwater enters the tank.
For even more extensive operations, the 26-ton and 32-ton Bucher Municipal sewer cleaners (Flexline CM120 and Flexline CM140) can be fitted with Vogelsang pumps to maximize over-pumping capabilities.
Bucher says that investing in its sewer cleaners also means empowering your flood response strategy with additional versatility and efficiency. These machines are not just tools; they are essential assets in safeguarding communities against the relentless threat of flooding. The company encourages the industry not to overlook the potential of these implements in flood relief efforts.
