By-passing a tunnel with Bypass1 pumps from GRINDEX

By-passing a tunnel with MAXI pumps

A tunnel carrying a road was about to be re-enforced. Water masses from melted snow raised the water level drastically, making the whole operation risky.

Two Maxi pumps from Grindex took care of the water in a bypass operation during the whole re-enforcement work.
