Curiosity...

The Foresto irrigation pumping station represents one of the main systems for collecting water from the Mincio river, serving the hilly area south of Lake Garda, characterized by intense and valuable agricultural activity.
The client, given the strategic importance of the plant, wanted to proceed with a renewal with profound technological improvement.

Particular notes

This is the replacement for old age of two of the four original pumps making up the irrigation plant.
The new pumps have been designed and manufactured with processes and materials that allow a significant increase in the efficiency and longevity.
A further increase in efficiency was made possible thanks to the use of inverters.
