Narromine Irrigation Board of Management

Fluid Engineering in conjunction with Flow Smart, Macquarie Civil, Narromine Building and Excavations and Total Electrical Control Solutions installed a new automated irrigation pump for the Narrmonie Irrigation Board of Management. The installation was undertaken as part of a major upgrade to the scheme and adds capacity and flexibility to the delivery of water the scheme members.

The pump selected for installation was the FE457 axial flow Ornel Floodlifter. It was installed on a steel pile structure adjacent to the two original Ornel 24" Floodlifter pumps. The pump is controlled via a VFD drive to offer a marginal variance in flow rate while maintaining extremely high operating efficiencies.
