Although most Systecon pumping packages require 20 to 25% less floor space than a field built system, they are designed to allow for proper maintenance. The layout of the packages is such that all major pieces of equipment can be accessed. All electrical panels are located so that they have full unobstructed access. Space for strainer screen removal for y-type strainers and suction diffusers are incorporated into the package design. These maintenance clearances are also shown on the submittal drawings. In addition, many of the Systecon pumping packages are furnished with monorails. This is an optional feature for smaller packages and is standard for all packages that have motors 40 HP or larger. The monorail, which is supported from the structural base, provides a means for removing and replacing motors and or pumps. This is an easily incorporated feature to a factory built package. However, many times it is difficult to locate a monorail in a field built system due to overhead obstructions. The custom nature of the pumping package allows us to easily modify its size and configuration. If a larger footprint is preferred to allow additional space for clearance, this can be accommodated.
