Anchor Electric Piston Pump Brings Section of Landfill Back Into Compliance
A Midwest disposal facility found use of an Anchor Electric 101 top-head drive piston pump to effectively mitigate the effect of a crushed side slope well.
Early in 2003, during routine sampling of the secondary sump, the pump became stuck during extraction. Working as a team, the owner, designer, and contractor created a shaft-accessed repair design plan.
The design included extending a 10-foot diameter steel cased shaft to a depth of approximately 60 feet below waste surface and cutting a section of liner plate so it would conform to the shape of the sump.
