Black Rock’s engineering team can provide full-service design for all pumping and piping applications, even for harsh environments or applications. This includes:
- Pump sizing and selection
- Pipe sizing, selection, routing and supports • Process flow diagrams and P&ID’s
- Instrumentation and valving
- Pump electrics and controls
- Pump bases
- Heat trace
Specialty Applications
We design specialty piping and pumping systems, for harsh locations or applications, including:
- Above-ground, below-ground and underground pipelines
- Slurry pumping and piping
- Lime or acid pumping and piping
- Mine dewatering
- Heavy wall piping
- Deep mine dewatering, and process water systems (pressure reducing stations for deep mine shafts)
- Steel, plastic and lined piping systems
- Fire protection systems.
- Potable water systems
- Water cooling systems: chilled water, cooling towers, water heat exchangers.
Maintenance and Analysis
We also provide maintenance engineering for pumping and piping systems:
- Preventive and predictive maintenance
