Bedford Pumps is supplying three submersible axial pump sets to create white water for kayaking in Glasgow, Scotland. The new Pinkston Water Sports Centre will be Glasgow's first competition standard, purpose built, paddle sports centre. The three Bedford submersible axial pump sets will be installed in a cascade canister arrangement in the submersible pumping station within the water sports channel. The pumps will generate total flows of up to 7000 l/s. The slalom will include a circular loop with the pumps lifting the water 1.5m to create a static head. Within the loop there will be canoe slalom training and competition, white water kayaking and coaching and swift water rescue training for the emergency services.
