When an engineering business has been operating in a specialist field for over 40 years, you know that they must be doing a lot of things right. Link Pumps is a prime example. Based in Williamstown, Victoria, Link Pumps has been operating in the field of industrial-scale pumps since its foundation by CEO John Link in the 1960s.
Ever since, Link Pumps has been located in the heartland of metro Melbourne’s heavy industrial area, servicing the needs of a wide range of clients in the pipeline, water, hydrocarbon, processing, construction and mining industries. Link Pumps is quite possibly the longest-standing industrial pump hire business in Australia still under its original management along with the most diversified hire fleet.
The company has over 540 hire pumps, available for immediate or planned service, in types ranging from peristaltic to multistage pumps, for pipeline and hydrocarbon industry duties such as:
* hydrostatic testing pumpsets, for pressures up to 20,000 psi;
* pipeline filling and pressurising pumpsets;
* pump equipment for pigging of pipelines;
* high pressure pumpsets for fracturing of sub-surface coal beds, in coal seam gas operations for methane production;
* hire or supply of special water pumps to deliver up to 500 m head for water transfer pipelines;
* fire pumps for major emergency or standby duties;
* contingency services, such as cleanups of marine/industrial accidents and oil/chemical spillage control; and,
* water pumps accredited to the standards of Lloyds and Det Norske Veritas.
Along with the above offerings, Link Pumps can also provide piping, fittings and other ancillaries. Where needed, teams of experienced staff are available to operate and supervise this equipment on a 24/7 basis and in compliance with required standards.
Because of their nature, pumps will always require maintenance, repair and overhaul during their service lives. At Williamstown, Link Pumps has the benefits of a spacious four acre site and therefore has the capability to move and handle large pumps and drives which often need heavy forklifts and trucks. Their two workshop repair facilities provide for service and rebuild work, while there are adjacent areas for pump testing, cleaning and repainting.
Link Pumps regularly rebuilds pumps ranging from a few kilograms to several tonnes in weight and can rebuild specialist or hard-to-get pumps for much less than the cost or lead time of a new unit, without risking performance or reliability in service. Their exposure over the years to a wide variety of pumping issues has given them the basis to address most pump related problems in the pipeline industry.
