Pump control for bores, irrigation and water supply

We do the electrical and control side of bore, irrigation, water supply and transfer pumps: power, control panel, protection, sensors and commissioning. Your pump supplier or drilling contractor does the pump and pipework, and we work alongside them.

What we do

  • Pump control panels with variable speed drives for constant pressure
  • Tank and reservoir level control by float, pressure transducer or radar
  • Dry-run, over-pressure and motor protection
  • Flow meters wired in for water take records
  • Duty and standby pump sets that share the running hours
  • Remote monitoring and alarms through Modbee
  • Davey pumps and controllers installed and wired

Problems we solve

  • A bore pump that burns out after running dry
  • Water pressure that rises and falls as taps open and close
  • Finding out the tank is empty only when the stock trough is
Brands: Davey, WEG and Modbee.

Questions

Do you supply the pump?

We do the electrical and control side. The pump and pipework come from your pump supplier or drilling contractor, and we work alongside them on site.

Can I get an alert if the pump stops?

Yes. A Modbee controller sends a text or app notification on a fault, low level or no flow, so you hear about it before the stock or the crop does.

Need something built, fixed or upgraded?

Call to talk it through, or send the job details and photos and we will come back to you with a time or a price.
