SKF has supplied a series of bearings for a major pumping system serving London's Lee Tunnel. The bearings meet critical performance demands in an exceptionally high-profile installation, proving again that SKF can provide products for in the toughest applications. The pumps will redirect as much as 2.9 million gallons of water per hour into the Lee Tunnel to protect London's 150-year-old Victorian sewer network, which can no longer accommodate the volume of sewage and rainwater. Billions have been invested in the project to prevent London's growing population from sewage overflow, and with the success of the project so critical only the most reliable and robust options have been selected.
