Protecting your assets. Protecting the environment.
For effective flood defence
Andel FloodPump is an industry-unique, advanced, alarm and automatic flood pump system that can be deployed inside or out, protecting buildings and protected areas at risk from flooding. The system works continuously and automatically 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Andel FloodPump has been specially developed and adapted for the flood defence market from Andel’s market-leading BundGuard 5 – a tried and tested product that has been installed nationwide for thousands of electrical distributors and oil storage site operators, protecting assets and the environment for over 25 years.
Not all features are standard, Andel FloodPump is a modular design which means you only pay for what you need. The system is flexible and can be configured to manage a range of different flood risk scenarios.
• Send SMS text alarm notifications and updates to mobile devices
• Operate up to two flood pumps
• Automatically control other equipment such as flood gates, flood doors and automatic closure devices on drains
• Send alarm notifications and logs via Modbus to a Building Management System (BMS)
• Provide system status alerts
The robust stainless steel insertion unit is equipped with a number of probes that can be set to levels to suit the flood risk in any given scenario.
The wall-mounted controller recognises conductivity between the probes and performs a multitude of automatic functions. Output relays provide round-the-clock system status alerts.
The FloodPump standard pump operates at a rate of 150 litres per minute. The system can also operate two pumps – either alternating to share the load or running simultaneously as a booster system. There is also an option to install larger capacity pumps if required.
Loss of mains power – a total loss of mains power would trigger an alarm and outward SMS notifications powered by back-up battery – the pump cannot activate without mains power unless the system is supported by back-up generators.
System disable – this is a failsafe for detected faults, for example if the probes activate in the wrong order it indicates external tampering and not water. In this case the pumps would not activate and an SMS message would be sent to advise there was a major fault caused by third-party tampering*.
Maintenance alerts - the system will recognise fluctuations in the performance of the pump or pumps and will send SMS notifications if and when the system requires servicing.
*All pumps require regular maintenance and the insertion unit and probes should also be checked at regular intervals. This work should be undertaken by a qualified engineer, however it is important that the maintenance work is undertaken and completed correctly. The system will detect engineer faults such as the pump not being re-fitted properly or testing equipment being left in the insertion unit. If there are any engineer or third-party tampering faults detected, SMS alarm notifications will automatically be sent out.
