After it rains, where does that “rain water” go? There is also some that seeps into the ground, but the remaining rainwater enters gutters, drains, etc., and finally flows into rivers. However, when a large typhoon comes or there is heavy rain, water may overflow and not flow naturally. What comes into play at this time is a facility called a drainage station. A drainage station is a facility for pumping up rainwater, domestic wastewater, etc. using a drainage pump and forcibly draining it into a river, preventing flood damage. Recently, news of abnormal weather related to rain has come to be heard from all over the world, such as sudden heavy rain, torrential guerrilla rain, and the largest rainfall ever. The role of drainage stations will become increasingly important in the future.
The number of pumps installed at Ebara's domestic drainage stations has exceeded 1,000 locations, and we have a wealth of delivery records, occupying the No. 1 market share in Japan. We have also been involved in a huge wastewater pump impeller that is 3.8 meters in size, and the world's largest drainage station, which has installed 4 pumps that can drain about 50 tons of water in 1 second. With such world-class production technology, we will continue to protect people's lives from the risk of flood damage.
