White Paper: Lifting Equipment In The Water & Wastewater Industry

As Water and Wastewater Facilities have evolved, so, too, has the technology that goes into their operation, processes and designs. Pumps and mixers are larger and heavier, UV treatment systems sterilize the water and Plants have gotten bigger with more motors, compressors and valves to maintain.

As we have experienced this growth in our industry, fewer new Operators are coming into the industry, forcing existing Operators and Maintenance Staff often to perform necessary maintenance and day-to-day operations with less than the ideal number of staff. Engineers are oftentimes working double duties, as well, to get designs completed for the ever-growing number of Plant upgrades and new construction; maintenance seems to get pushed by the wayside. With Health and Safety as a top concern among Operations staff, we need to look at the way that modern Plants can be maintained keeping both Safety and cost efficiencies in mind
