SRS Crisafulli Saves the Day

On August 12, 2011 Maureen Lundman, SRS Crisafulli Sales Manager, received an email from SRS Crisafulli customer Mike Henningsen, of Henningsen Construction, Inc. Mike had a dramatic story to tell about how our pump saved his business.  Here are his comments:

Maureen,

Just thought you might like to hear an interesting story about one of your 12" trailer pumps.

We have an asphalt plant north of Council Bluffs, IA that since mid June has been and continues to be surrounded by the Missouri river. We built an 8' to 12' dike around the plant and lined the outside with plastic.

Dike lined with plastic

The dike has held out the river for two months, and we expect the 8' to 10' of water surrounding the plant to be there for another month and a half. Oh by the way we are 4 miles from the main river channel. We have seepage around the inside of the milled asphalt dike.

That water is being pumped out continuously by a tractor turning your (knock on wood) great pump.

We estimate the pump has run 1400 hours straight - the end is not in sight.

We are hopeful tractor and pump keep doing their dutiful job.

Your pump has worked flawlessly. Thank you!
