HIGRA in flood prevention in São Leopoldo/RS. 🌧
HIGRA’s technology and equipment continue to offer agile support in flood situations in various cities across Brazil. This time, in São Leopoldo, we are acting preventively to avoid calamity situations similar to those that occurred during the last heavy rains in the region.
This Friday (07), HIGRA responded to a new call from SEMAE and installed two submerged pumps capable of moving 450 liters of water per second in the northeast region of São Leopoldo, including Vila Brás, Santos Dumont and Chácara dos Leões, in order to reduce possible flooding.






With a new cyclone and heavy rain forecast, HIGRA’s easy-to-install submersible pump technology enables efficient drainage to transfer the water accumulated in the Arroio Gauchinho, in Vila Brás, to the dyke, which will take it to the Rio dos Sinos. This practical, easy-to-movement solution can increasingly help cities deal with flooding problems.
Gustavo Nunes, from the commercial sector of the SERVICE/HIGRA unit, comments: “This is yet another partnership with SEMAE for the benefit of the Leopold community. Today we are acting preventively, installing submerged pumps that will remain on standby should the rains intensify. Once again, the HIGRA, AERA and SERVICE units made themselves readily available to meet SEMAE’s demands and supplied the equipment on a rental basis in less than 48 hours.”
HIGRA is innovation, technology, sustainability and efficiency.
