Water transport systems for firefighting
In industrial and offshore environments, access to sufficient water capacity can determine the effectiveness of firefighting operations. Our water transport systems are designed to supply high flow rates to support firefighting pumps, monitors and extinguishing systems.
Typical applications include:
- Supplying water from open sources such as rivers or harbours
- Boosting pressure for industrial firefighting networks
- Temporary reinforcement of fixed firewater systems
- Emergency response during maintenance shutdowns
Each water transportation system is engineered to deliver stable pressure and flow under continuous load. Reliability, rapid start up and compatibility with existing firefighting infrastructure are central in the design.
For industrial clients, this means immediate reinforcement of safety capacity without permanent infrastructure modifications.
The key features of our mobile water pump systems are their modular setup and mobility. The system-based design allows for easy combination of multiple components when required for specific situations. Our mobile water pump systems are built with capacities ranging from 4,000 LPM to over 50,000 LPM per pump set, with multiple units often combined to meet total water demand.

What are water transport systems?
A water transport system consists of pumps, pipelines, drives, and control systems that work together to move water over long distances or at high pressure. These systems can be used for a wide range of applications:
- Emergency and firefighting pumps
- Cooling systems in industrial environments
- Offshore and marine operations
- Temporary or permanent water supply
Hydrauvision supplies both standard solutions and fully customized systems, tailored to the specific conditions and requirements of your project.
WTS Firefighting – Reliable in emergencies
In firefighting operations, reliability is crucial. Our WTS firefighting solutions are specifically designed for rapid deployment and maximum capacity under extreme conditions. They feature high pump capacities, durable materials, and mobile configurations that can be quickly deployed on site. Key features of our WTS firefighting systems:
- High flow capacity for large-scale firefighting operations
- Robust design for long-term use
- Rapidly deployable, even in hard-to-reach locations
Water transport systems for flood control
Flood control requires fast action and scalable capacity. Hydrauvision provides water transport systems that support flood control systems in both preventive and emergency scenarios.
Our solutions are used for:
- Lowering water levels in flooded industrial areas
- Supporting municipal flood control operations
- Pumping water away from critical infrastructure
- Temporary drainage during heavy rainfall
In flood control applications, flexibility is key. Systems must be transported quickly, installed safely and perform reliably in unpredictable conditions. Our mobile setups are designed for transport by truck or container and can be operational within a short timeframe.
By integrating pumps, hoses and control systems into a coordinated water transportation system, we ensure controlled and efficient water displacement.
When to use a water transport system
A water transport system is typically deployed when fixed infrastructure is insufficient or unavailable. Key decision questions include:
- Is there a need for temporary high capacity water transfer?
- Is existing firewater capacity limited?
- Is rapid response required during flooding?
- Is permanent infrastructure not feasible or too time consuming?
In such cases, mobile water transport systems provide a flexible alternative. They allow organisations to scale capacity based on risk level or project phase.
Our specialists assist clients in determining required capacity, flow distance, elevation differences and energy supply to ensure the selected configuration meets operational demands.
Engineering and customization
No two projects are identical. That is why each water transportation system can be configured according to specific requirements.
Customization options include:
- Variable pump capacities
- Diesel or electric drive options
- Remote monitoring and control
- Modular hose configurations
- Integration with existing flood control systems
Our engineering team calculates flow rates, pressure losses and energy consumption to determine the optimal configuration. This ensures that the system performs efficiently while maintaining operational safety.
By combining hydraulic expertise with practical field experience, Hydrauvision delivers solutions that match real world conditions.
Key specifications
Although configurations vary per project, typical specifications of our water transport systems include:
- High capacity flow rates suitable for firefighting and flood control
- Long distance water transfer capability
- Modular hose systems for flexible routing
- Robust frames suitable for transport and outdoor use
- Integration with industrial control systems
All systems are designed for reliability in harsh environments, including industrial sites, ports and offshore locations.
