Addressing Urban Flooding With Grundfos Wastewater Solutions 

In 2015, Chennai faced catastrophic flooding during the northeastern monsoon, affecting over 4 million residents and causing economic losses exceeding $3 billion. Grundfos played a crucial role in helping the city recover by deploying mobile diesel-operated pumping stations to dewater critical infrastructure, including a major IT park. Following the emergency response, Grundfos collaborated with the IT park’s facility team over three years to design a long-term flood mitigation system featuring mobile pumps, submersible wastewater units, and strategic collection tanks. This comprehensive solution not only restored operations but also positioned Grundfos as the preferred vendor, with the client planning to replicate the system across other facilities in India.
