New York’s LaGuardia airport replaces storm water pumps

As prime contractor for the project, Heritage Mechanical Services will replace two existing high capacity storm water pumps that have been in service for 40 years within a system of pump houses, pumping storm water that collects within the airport area during major rain storms, into nearby Bowery Bay.

The replacement pumps will be high horsepower, high voltage submersible pumps, each capable of pumping 33 000 gallons per minute.
