Industrial & Commercial Pumping Systems in Mauritius

Choosing the right pump depends on four critical parameters: required flow rate (litres per minute or m³/hour), total head pressure (vertical lift plus friction losses), suction conditions (borehole depth, tank level, NPSH) and duty cycle (continuous or intermittent use). Our engineers conduct a full site survey — measuring existing piping diameters, usage patterns, peak demand hours and available electrical supply — then size the pump using manufacturer curves from Pedrollo or Saci Pumps. This ensures the pump operates at its best efficiency point, delivering reliable performance while minimising energy consumption and wear.

Variable speed booster pumps use a variable frequency drive (VFD or inverter) that adjusts the motor speed in real time based on water demand. Instead of running constantly at full power like fixed-speed pumps, they slow down when less flow is needed and ramp up automatically during peak demand. This delivers energy savings of up to 80%, significantly reduces noise, eliminates water hammer and extends equipment lifespan. Variable speed boosters are ideal for hotels, apartment buildings, shopping centres and commercial properties where water consumption varies throughout the day.

A standard residential booster pump installation typically takes 1 to 2 days, including plumbing, electrical wiring, pressure tank setup and commissioning. For commercial pressurisation stations with multiple pumps, control panels and larger tanks, installation takes 5 to 10 working days depending on site complexity and pipework modifications. Fire-fighting pump sets with diesel backup engines and compliance certification can take 2 to 3 weeks. Every installation includes on-site commissioning, pressure testing, operational training and a full handover file.

Submersible borehole pumps are installed underwater inside the borehole, pushing water up to the surface. They are quiet, highly efficient for deep boreholes (beyond 7-8 metres of suction lift) and unaffected by priming issues. Surface pumps sit above ground and draw water by suction, suitable for shallow wells, tanks or cisterns with a maximum lift of around 8 metres. For most Mauritian boreholes reaching 30 to 150 metres depth, Pedrollo 4-inch submersible pumps are the standard solution — offering reliability, minimal maintenance and high flow rates.

Industrial and commercial pumps require scheduled preventive maintenance to maintain efficiency and prevent costly breakdowns. Our contracts include quarterly inspections — checking seals, bearings, motor insulation, impeller condition, pressure readings and vibration levels. Every 2 to 5 years, depending on usage intensity, we recommend full overhauls with bearing replacement, mechanical seal renewal and impeller rebalancing. Variable speed drives and control panels are tested annually. A well-maintained Pedrollo or Saci pump typically delivers 15 to 20 years of reliable service under commercial conditions.

Yes, we design, supply and install complete fire-fighting pump stations compliant with Mauritian fire safety standards and insurance requirements. Our systems include a main electric fire pump, a diesel-engine backup pump for power failures, a jockey pump to maintain system pressure, a dedicated control panel with automatic priority-switching logic and all required gauges, flow meters and pressure switches. Every installation comes with commissioning reports, pressure test certificates and full documentation accepted by the Mauritius Fire and Rescue Service and commercial insurers.

Absolutely. Replacing a legacy fixed-speed pump with a modern variable speed unit is one of the fastest ways to reduce energy bills in a commercial property. We conduct an energy audit of your existing system — measuring current consumption, analysing usage patterns and calculating payback period. In most cases, the investment in a new Pedrollo or Saci variable speed booster pays back within 2 to 4 years through energy savings alone. We handle the complete retrofit: pump removal, piping adaptation, VFD installation, new control panel and commissioning — typically within a single working day for residential and a few days for commercial sites.

All new Pedrollo and Saci Pumps equipment comes with the full manufacturer warranty — typically 24 months on the pump and 12 months on electronic components like VFDs and control panels. As authorised distributors, we keep local stock of genuine OEM spare parts — impellers, mechanical seals, bearings, pressure switches and control cards — ensuring rapid repairs when needed. Our 24/7 emergency service team responds island-wide, and every customer receives a dedicated technical contact for commissioning, troubleshooting and long-term support.
