Professional Pump Services
Pump repair and maintenance are critical, high-stakes activities within the Canadian water and wastewater market. The market is defined by aging infrastructure, strict regulatory requirements, and a growing focus on energy efficiency and predictive maintenance technology.
Canadian Market Challenges
Aging Infrastructure
Harsh Operating Conditions
Municipal wastewater pumps deal with increasingly abrasive materials, foreign objects (like rags and “flushable” wipes), and corrosive fluids. This leads to accelerated wear on impellers, seals, and casings.
Regulatory Compliance
Federal regulations, such as the Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations (under the Fisheries Act), require strict compliance on effluent quality. Pump failures can lead to bypass events or reduced treatment efficiency, resulting in regulatory violations and environmental fines.
Energy Costs
Pumping systems account for a significant portion of a municipality’s energy use. Aging, inefficient pumps are expensive to run, making the repair vs. replacement decision a constant challenge centered on improving hydraulic and electrical efficiency.
Climate Change & Storm Events
Increased frequency of extreme weather and flash flooding puts significant stress on stormwater and sewage lift station pumps, often introducing extra debris and requiring immediate emergency repair services.
Scope
Support
Critical for preventing sewage backups and flooding events. This often involves rapid-response mobile repair teams.
Major Overhauls
Complete disassembly, cleaning, precision machining, parts replacement (seals, bearings, impellers), and reassembly.
Field Services: On-site troubleshooting to diagnose and prevent issues.
Many food products, such as yogurt, sauces, and delicate fruit pieces, are shear-sensitive. This means that excessive force or agitation during pumping can damage the product's texture, consistency, and appearance. High-speed, turbulent-flow pumps like conventional centrifugal pumps can ruin the integrity of these products.
Preventative Maintenance Contracts
Scheduled inspections, lubrication, and testing to ensure reliability and prolong the pump's lifespan.
Coatings and Materials
Application of corrosion-resistant coatings and the use of hard-wearing materials during repair to enhance pump resilience against abrasive or corrosive fluids.
Nevtro Pump Technology, which combine distribution with their extensive repair facilities, provide essential on-the-ground engineering support focused on existing assets.
Engineering & Technical Services
Failure Analysis
Nevtro Mechanical Engineers examine failed pumps to determine the root cause (e.g., bearing failure, seal failure, cavitation, misalignment) and recommend mechanical or operational changes to prevent recurrence.
Custom Equipment & Retrofitting
Nevtro Engineers design custom baseplates, coupling guards, or unique piping spool pieces to integrate a modern replacement pump into an older, existing station footprint.
Reverse Engineering
For obsolete or discontinued pumps, engineers may measure and recreate parts to extend the life of critical equipment, a common requirement when dealing with aging municipal infrastructure.
Vibration & Alignment Diagnostics
Providing preventative maintenance services like precision laser alignment and vibration analysis to diagnose machinery health before a catastrophic failure occurs.
