Local Company Lands Largest Municipal Water Pump Contract in the GVRD
Surrey BC, July 2003 - Smith Cameron Pump Solutions is very pleased to announce that, along with Flowserve Pumps, they have acquired the largest municipal water pump contract in the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD). It is the largest order in Smith Cameron Pump Solutions history. The pumps will provide water from the Capilano Reservoir to the new treatment plant to be constructed on Mt. Seymour. Smith Cameron Pump Solutions is very proud to be a part of the GVRD’s initiative to continue to provide excellent water quality for the people of Greater Vancouver.
The new filtration plant will even further improve drinking water quality by removing micro-organisms, organics, silts and clays caused by heavy rainfall, and will reduce the amount of chlorine required for disinfection. The water will also be treated to reduce corrosion in pipes and the staining of plumbing fixtures. This project is expected to be completed by 2007. The plant will filter up to two billion litres of water per day. That is enough to fill B.C. Place!
Smith Cameron Pump Solutions and Flowserve’s supply contract will be to provide 8 large 2000 HP pump units. Each pump weighs 6.3 tonnes and has the power to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool in 17 minutes or a typical in- ground home swimming pool in 30 seconds!
Smith Cameron Pump Solutions is a distributor of pumps and related equipment to meet all the needs of industrial and municipal applications. Founded in 1981, the Surrey based company has been expanding it's capabilities to include water and waste water pumping, treatment equipment and systems. Currently the company employs 24 full time positions, and is expanding in both BC and Alberta.
