The adverse weather conditions over the past few months have brought torrential rain to this country, resulting in heavy flooding in the majority of counties.
Farms and dwellings close to river banks have been hit particularly hard and with no insurance company willing to compensate these people, they must take every precaution necessary to keep the damage to the minimum.
As we all know flooding can cause horrendous damage to buildings, outhouses and indeed land in general as it takes months for the recovery to take place.
Pumps and power generators often play a huge part in the farming industry as not only are they needed in a time of crisis, but for every day work also.
There are many makes and types of water and wastewater pumps as well as power generators on the market, but there is a company that provides not only the top brands, but also a wealth of experience in the industry.
Enniskillen based JF Andrews Engineering have been providing solutions for Power Generation, Water and Wastewater Pumping, Water and Wastewater Treatment for 60 years. The company supplies leading brands in its field of expertise including Grundfos Pumps, Atlas Copco and Power Generation.
