Hytrans delivers high-capacity mobile water transport systems, ensuring reliable water supply for wildfire response and emergency operations in remote, hard-to-reach environments
Wildfires often occur in remote areas, making it a major challenge to access large quantities of water quickly and efficiently. Water supply, distance, manpower, and time can become critical obstacles. Hytrans has developed a comprehensive mobile water transport system to overcome these challenges.
High Volumes, High Pressure
The HydroSub is an advanced mobile water transport unit equipped with hydraulically driven submersible pumps. These units are designed to ensure a reliable water flow, enabling emergency teams to manage wildfires more effectively.
The HydroSub units can pump high volumes of water over long distances under high pressure. With a capacity of up to 45,000 litres per minute at 12 bar (12,000 GPM @ 175 psi), the HydroSub guarantees a steady water supply even in the most demanding conditions. Besides wildfire suppression, the system also finds applications in civil defence, (petro)chemical industries, flood relief, and flood prevention, making it a versatile tool for emergency response.
Proven Performance Worldwide
Hytrans Systems has consistently demonstrated its reliability and effectiveness in real-world emergencies across the globe. During Hurricane Sandy, HydroSub units were deployed to pump floodwaters from the Holland Tunnel in New York. Hytrans equipment also played a vital role in managing the Fukushima nuclear disaster by supplying cooling water. During the Australian bushfires a few years ago, HydroSub units were crucial in delivering water to firefighters working in remote, hard-to-access areas. More recently, the units have been deployed in Europe and Asia to manage flood recovery after heavy rains.
A Complete Mobile Solution
Hytrans offers a comprehensive range of equipment to support rapid water supply or relief efforts. In addition to the HydroSub, the system includes Hose Layer containers with automatic Hose Recovery systems capable of deploying and retrieving hoses up to 12 inches in diameter. Hytrans also supplies HoseRamps and a wide array of fittings such as Y-pieces, gate valves, and check valves, enabling teams to quickly set up and operate the system under any emergency conditions.
Continuous Innovation for Maximum Reliability
Whether responding to wildfires, flooding, or other large-scale disasters, emergency teams require dependable equipment. At Hytrans, continuous innovation is fundamental. The company’s engineering team is constantly working to enhance the performance, ease of use, and portability of its systems. With over 1,250 systems deployed across more than 50 countries, Hytrans has earned a reputation for reliability and successful operations.
