Automated Self-Cleaning Trashracks Proves Reliable In Harshest Storm Conditions

Prior to the installation of the Duperon® Self-Cleaning Trashrack at their intakes, the City of Dallas Hampton Road Pump Station operated without any protection in front of their stormwater grating. “We just had a grate in front with no mechanical cleaning,” remembers Dhruv Pandya, District Manager for the City of Dallas Department of Flood Control. “The pumps were suffering. They were continually getting clogged, and they didn’t have enough water coming in to function properly.”
