The Challenge: Gulf Coast hurricanes, severe storms and a surge in rainfall have increased the flood risk for the city of Dallas’ business and citizens. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers assessed the city’s aging flood management facilities and recommended upgrading its existing pump stations with more reliable, higher-capacity pumps.

The Solution: Flowserve CVP concrete volute pumps offered the city of Dallas a reliable, efficient and cost-effective solution to upgrade its aging infrastructure. The Dallas Floodplain Management Team selected Flowserve CVP pumps for their pump station upgrades because of the pump’s history of reliability and proven performance in large-scale European flood management projects. This project marks the first time concrete volute pumps were used for flood management in the U.S.
