HIGRA AMPHIBIOUS PUMP
Original pumping technology, developed by HIGRA, capable of working both outside and in the water!
Its wet engine ensures lubrication and cooling through the water inside the engine, eliminating the need to use oils and reducing environmental risks.
A robust and sustainable solution for urban drainage, whether in preventive or emergency situations, such as floods.
The use of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software in the development and optimization of HIGRA pump impeller designs allows the pumps to operate at low suction heights, which increases the overall efficiency of the system, unlike traditional pumps.
ADVANTAGES OF THE PUMP
Easy and versatile installation
Water-lubricated engine
Low operating noise
Simplified maintenance
Resistance to vandalism
Greater reliability and energy efficiency
Reduced civil works for installation, no need for a pump room
Efficiency with large volumes of water and debris (garbage, mud, etc.), which clog up traditional systems
DRAINAGE SYSTEMS URBAN
Fundamental to the efficiency of urban drainage systems, HIGRA Amphibious Pumps ensure that cities remain safe and functional. During periods of heavy rainfall, they perform an essential function by draining water from the streets, preventing flooding, damage to infrastructure and traffic interruptions.
In addition, its ability to operate submerged, combined with its versatility and easy installation, allows it to operate quickly in different parts of cities, both in and out of the water, depending on the specific needs of each location and the varying drainage conditions.
FLOOD PROTECTION SYSTEMS
While urban drainage quickly removes rainwater, flood protection systems include dams, dikes and pumps to remove excess water within protected areas and prevent rivers and seas from invading inhabited areas, as well as protecting against the effects of extreme weather events.
Due to their characteristics, HIGRA Amphibious Pumps are an efficient and economical solution for vulnerable cities, especially those below sea level.

EDAM - Modular Amphibious Drainage Station
A robust and efficient solution that replaces vulnerable traditional pump houses, EDAM is ideal for preventing and dealing with the challenges caused by floods and climatic events, which have caused significant damage to urban infrastructures, resulting in considerable economic and social losses.
The EDAM replaces older models of rainwater pump houses, which tend to fail at critical moments due to their dry motors and electric drive panels, as these need to be switched off when submerged.
With versatile amphibious motor pump assemblies, working both submerged and in dry environments, EDAM represents reliability and flexibility for stormwater management. Designed to operate in flood-prone areas, EDAM offers effective water level control, especially during flood periods.
MOBILE DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN URBAN SETTINGS
A system developed by HIGRA comprising a HIGRA submersible and/or amphibious pump, hose, transport trolley and electric panel, powered by a generator, to deal with urgent or preventive urban drainage situations.
With this solution, we are enabling communities to benefit from effective measures to prevent, control and/or reduce damage in the event of flooding.
In 2023, the city of São Leopoldo/RS was hit by an extratropical cyclone. Responding quickly to a request from SEMAE and the City Council, we provided 3 HIGRA Submersible Pumps, capable of draining 450 liters of water per second, in record time.
In just a day and a half, we delivered the Mobile Drainage System, as an efficient solution to combat the flooding that affected the northeastern region of the city.
Easy to install, this system guarantees fast and efficient drainage, transferring the water accumulated in the stream to the dyke and preventing new floods.
HIGRA technologies offer agile support in drainage situations, whether in cases of flood or drought, and have played a major role in preventing disasters in several cities in Brazil.
