NY water booster pumps are optimal equipment for high-rise buildings, both commercial and residential, that need an uninterrupted water supply. As a pump dealer specializing in New York City, Callaghan takes pride in delivering the modern water booster pump solutions that meet the complex requirements across all industries.
Despite the challenges these facilities faced, we thoroughly examined each issue and provided the ideal pump. Our robust systems and commitment to delivering performance enable smooth water delivery for demanding environments.
This blog covers our exceptional projects: AOL/Time Warner Building, IRS Triplex Pump System (Holtsville, NY), and LaGuardia Airport. You will learn about the approach we followed, the challenges we faced, and the successful outcomes that impacted our clients’ operations and their trust in our solutions.
Let's begin our journey through these exceptional project deliveries.
AOL/Time Warner Building, New York City, NY
The AOL/Time Warner Building project was one of the largest construction sites in NYC at the time. Due to the structure's large scale and complexity, this project required a system capable of handling multiple water drainage points and heavy use.
Our team got into the projects and understood all the ins and outs. Our horizontally mounted multi-stage segmented ring pumps, commonly referred to as “pancake pumps,” become a blessing in disguise.
Consequently, these pumps feature CD4MCU stainless investment-cast impellers and diffusers, making them rough and tough. This exceptional integration helped handle even the most demanding water drainage and supply seamlessly. Despite competitive options quoting significantly higher costs, our solution delivered a $2 million savings to the customer without compromising performance.
IRS Triplex Pump System, Holtsville, NY
The complex needed to boost the water pressure in Holtsville, NY. To deliver the best solution, we installed a triplex variable-speed booster system that increased water pressure throughout a large building.
Given the outdoor installation requirement, we configured the booster system with Yaskawa IQ Pump 1000 drives and Aurora 341 close-coupled end suction pumps. Both are water booster pumps known for their high efficiency. Additionally, to prevent the wear and tear and damage from variable weather conditions, we covered the unit with a heat- and lighting-resistant box.
The system design included simple yet effective controls, with integration points for the fire pump system. Subsequently, this means water booster pumps can automatically adjust in an emergency. It’s a critical safety feature appreciated by both engineers and facility owners.
LaGuardia Airport, Queens, NY
When LaGuardia Airport began its renovation, fire safety was its top priority. With thousands of passengers moving through the airport every day, the existing fire safety system needed to be more robust. They were looking for a high-capacity solution that met modern safety standards and performed brilliantly.
Clients contacted our team, and we examined the existing systems. We came back with a custom fire pump: three diesel-driven and two electric pumps. Each one was integrated with NY water booster pumps. Thus, they were capable of delivering the large volumes of water required to protect critical areas of the airport.
We selected the Aurora single-stage horizontal split case to align with the demand. These pumps are known for their proven solidity, ease of maintenance, and strong performance. Such smartly designed pumps work excellently in dynamic environments. With this, we helped strengthen fire protection at one of the nation’s busiest transportation hubs. Clients gain confidence in both safety and growth with this upgrade.
