New equipment for the Otgers well in Castelltallat: ensuring efficiency in water supply


Underground Water / Well Equipment

At Elèctrica Pintó, we work to optimize water resource management and ensure the safety and efficiency of water supply systems. We have recently completed the testing and equipping of the new Otgers well in Castelltallat, a key project to improve the area’s water supply.

Well capacity testing: understanding its potential

Testing the well’s capacity is a fundamental step in determining its supply capability. In this project, we conducted a 24-hour pumping test to measure the well’s performance and define the optimal extraction flow rate. This study ensures the sustainable use of the aquifer and adapts the installation to the system’s real needs.

Pump installation and hydraulic equipment

Once the optimal flow rate was determined, we equipped the well with a Grundfos SP 3A-39 submersible pump, chosen for its high efficiency and reliability. Additionally, a galvanized iron pipe network was installed to transport water, with control valves to regulate and protect the system.

To guarantee safe and efficient extraction, new stainless steel pipes were installed, along with level control and electrical protection systems to prevent malfunctions or damage.

Civil works and electrical installation

Beyond the hydraulic equipment, civil works were carried out to protect the installation and facilitate maintenance. This included the construction of a concrete manhole to house the system’s connections. A tailored electrical system was also installed to ensure the pump’s correct operation and integration with the existing management system.

Benefits of well modernization

✔️ Optimization of extraction flow for efficient water resource use.
✔️ Installation of a high-efficiency pump to ensure a reliable supply.
✔️ Improvement of pipework and valves for optimal performance.
✔️ Safety and protection through level control and electrical safeguards.
✔️ Reinforced infrastructure for easier maintenance and long-term durability.

This project is another example of Elèctrica Pintó’s commitment to improving and modernizing hydraulic infrastructures, ensuring a sustainable and efficient water supply.
