Xylem XYL, a leading global water technology company focused on
addressing the world's most challenging water issues, announced today that
it has been awarded a $2.9 million contract from the Beijing Drainage Group
(BDG) to install Xylem's Flygt(R) pumps in 19 pumping stations in downtown
Beijing. The new Flygt submersible centrifugal sewage pumps will improve the
stations' water storage capability and prevent overflow by providing more
efficient drainage and flood control.
"We are proud to have been chosen to be part of this meaningful project with
the BDG," said Shuping Lu, vice president and country director for China.
"Our Flygt pumps reduce the costs associated with pump station design,
excavation, civil work, installation and commissioning, while maintaining
superior performance even under heavy flooding conditions."
Beijing Drainage Group Co. Ltd is a wholly state-owned wastewater utility
established with the approval of the Beijing Municipal Government.
