Made in Germany - in service throughout the world
In addition to the German market, we are increasingly active on the international scene. On a global scale, HOMA pumps are in use in over 100 countries in all five continents. For example, in Hong King the underground rail network was expanded to the outer suburbs. The dewatering of the stations depends on HOMA pumps. In the Colombian city of Cartagena, its whole area was provided with a new system of sewers in one fell swoop. Now, the waste water all flows into one large installation: HOMA supplies the submersible pumps. In Dubai "The Palm Jumeirah", an artificial residential island in the shape of a palm tree was constructed. For the first 350 apartments, we supplied 350 pumps for removing the waste water. In London, our Sanistar Lifting Pump systems provided the waste water removal for 600 WC cabins that had been put up for a major international sports event.

Project description
The Panama Canal expansion was the largest infrastructure project since the opening of the canal in 1914. The new widened canal provides shipping logistics and container shipping with more possibilities, a better service, improved logistics and supply-chain reliability.
Since its inauguration on 26 June 2016, the widened canal has improved the ability of the waterway to cope with the increasing needs of maritime trade using larger ships.
The widening included the construction of new locks on the Atlantic and Pacific sides of the waterway, the creation of a third shipping land and a doubling of the freight capacity.
The new locks are 21 metres wider and 5.5 metres deeper than the old ones. In spite of this, they use less water, since the water basins recycle 60% of the water.
HOMA convinces with the best technical offer
In co-operation with our partner company in Panama, Tama S.A., we were able to convince the client with the best technical offer, and converted one pumping station with two GRP cutter pumps.
