Bedford Pumps Ltd has firmly established itself as the UK’s leading manufacturer of pumping plant for the Land Drainage, Flood Defence, Water & Sewage industries in addition to gaining an enviable reputation for M & E project management in this field.
Bedford Pumps Ltd was formed in 1987 by former members of the pump department at NEI (W H Allen) after the company closed their pump manufacturing facility within the town. W H Allen was founded in London in 1880 and moved to Bedford in 1894 and as Allen Gwynne Pumps established a worldwide reputation for delivering high quality pumping plant to the world market. The fledgling Bedford Pump Company company became Bedford Pumps Ltd and then part of the Hidrostal Group and to this day are a flexible, highly experienced British manufacturer of robust, pumping plant for the water and waste water industry.
Bedford Pumps carry with them the engineering expertise that was associated with W H Allen but have infused this philosophy with a dynamic problem solving approach that ensures each and every pump application is offered as an “engineered solution”.
Bedford Pumps are part of Hidrostal GB Ltd, along with sister companies Avonmouth Engineering Services & Hidrostal Ltd. Together the group can provide a pumping solution, system or service for virtually any stage of the water and wastewater treatment process.
We always recommend a physical model test in order to identify any common problems that can occur in unstable sump conditions. The most common factors that can affect pump operation are Air Entrainment, Swirl, Suppressed Vortices, Poor Velocity Distribution, Matting, Silt and Grit Deposition.
Bedford Pumps work closely with companies such as Hydrotec Consultants Ltd in the North of England, and BHR Group in the South of England, who offer specialised hydraulic guidance and modelling of hydraulic structures for the water and wastewater industries to ensure a satisfactory environment is achieved.
