Taixin Economic Zone (Taiyuan Area) Dayu Industrial New City Flood Control Pump Station Project
Project Background
Building Flood Control and Drainage for the Taixin Economic Zone "Lifeline"
The Taixin Economic Zone serves as a strategic engine for promoting coordinated regional development in Shanxi Province. The Dayu Industrial New City in its Taiyuan area carries the crucial mission of industrial upgrading and urban-industrial integration. However, the new city's low-lying terrain presents a significant risk of flooding during the rainy season, making traditional drainage systems unable to meet the demands of rapid development. To ensure the safe operation of the new city and enhance its flood control and drainage capabilities, the Dayu Industrial New City Flood Control Pumping Station Project was developed, becoming critical infrastructure for the stable development of the regional economy.
Project Overview
Southern Zhishui's high-pressure submersible mixed-flow pump station sets an industry benchmark
The project, covering an area of approximately 6,000 square meters, is equipped with eight submersible mixed-flow pumps, each with a power output of 1,150 kilowatts. 2,200 meters of 2.6-meter-diameter steel pipe and concrete tongue-and-groove pipe are installed. When operating at full capacity, the system can pump and drain water up to 30 cubic meters per second (108,000 cubic meters per hour). This impressive drainage capacity is equivalent to pumping and draining the entire West Lake in Hangzhou (with a storage capacity of approximately 10 million cubic meters) in just seven days. As a key flood control project in Shanxi Province, the project adheres to the highest provincial construction standards and has been commissioned as the largest pumping station in North China, significantly enhancing regional flood control and drainage capabilities.
The project uses Southern Zhishui's high-pressure submersible mixed flow pump and intelligent drainage system. Through its core advantages such as efficient drainage system, intelligent control system and excellent operation and maintenance performance, it redefines the technical standards of modern pumping stations and provides intelligent and efficient solutions for urban flood control and drainage.

Project Difficulties
Technological innovation to overcome complex challenges
01 Large Flow Fluctuations
During the rainy season, instantaneous water inflow surges. Adaptive regulation technology ensures efficient operation of the mixed-flow pumps under both high and low loads, minimizing energy waste.
02 Tight Construction Schedule
The high-pressure submersible mixed-flow pumps weigh 25 tons and were produced and transported in groups. The pump installation and the pump station drainage system were installed in parallel, enabling precise process integration and significantly improving overall construction efficiency.
03 High Intelligent Requirements
Traditional pump station operation and maintenance rely primarily on manual inspections. This project leverages IoT and cloud computing analytics to build an intelligent monitoring system that enables real-time data collection, dynamic analysis, and risk warnings. This effectively predicts potential failures, significantly reduces operation and maintenance costs, and improves management efficiency.
04 Strict Environmental Standards
The pump station operates in strict compliance with low-noise and zero-leakage standards. Southern Smart Water utilizes a fully enclosed structural design and efficient vibration damping technology to ensure operational stability, minimize environmental impact, and achieve green and low-carbon operation and maintenance.
Project Significance
Triple Breakthrough in Economic, Ecological, and Social Benefits
01 Ensuring Regional Security
This project has successfully established a 24/7 safety and security system for the Dayu Industrial New City, effectively eliminating regional flood risks and providing a solid foundation for business operations and residents' lives.
02 Promoting Smart Urban Development
This intelligent demonstration project not only provides a replicable technical model for the development of new infrastructure in the Taixin Economic Zone, but also, through digital innovation, significantly promotes the in-depth implementation and effective implementation of the "Digital Shanxi" strategy.
03 Green and Energy-Saving Model
The high-efficiency mixed-flow pump system employed in this project achieves over 20% higher energy efficiency than traditional equipment, reducing carbon emissions by over 100 tons annually. Powered by innovative energy-saving technologies, this project precisely aligns with the national "dual carbon" strategic goals and creates a model for green infrastructure.
04 Promoting Industrial-City Integration
The stable and efficient drainage system constructed by the project has significantly improved the regional business environment, providing critical infrastructure support for the clustering of high-end industries and effectively contributing to the strategic goal of building the Taixin Integrated Economic Zone into a national-level industrial-city integration demonstration zone.
