In commercial infrastructure—such as shopping malls, office towers, and hotels—municipal water pressure is rarely sufficient to reach the upper floors. A Water Pressure Lifting System (also known as a Transfer or Booster Set) is an engineered assembly designed to "lift" water from ground-level suction tanks to roof tanks or directly to localized zones.
EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd provides turnkey MEP engineering for these systems, ensuring that every floor in your facility maintains consistent, high-pressure water flow without the risk of pipe damage or energy waste.
These systems lift water from a low-level "suction tank" to a high-level "storage tank" on the roof. They are designed for high-volume, reliable movement.
EKG Benefit: We install high-level float switches and specialized control logic to prevent tank overflows and "dry-running" of the pumps.
Common in modern skyscrapers, these systems pump water directly from a tank into the building's pipes. They use Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to maintain a constant pressure regardless of how many taps are open.
Vertical Multistage Pumps: The "muscle" of the system. These pumps feature stacked impellers that allow for massive vertical lift (Head) while occupying a very small floor footprint in the mechanical room.
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs): These adjust the motor speed in real-time. If demand is low, the pumps slow down, saving up to 40% in electricity costs.
Hydro-Pneumatic Tanks (Accumulators): These tanks store pressurized water and air, preventing the pumps from "cycling" (turning on and off) too frequently, which protects the motor and saves energy.
Non-Slam Check Valves: Critical for preventing "water hammer" when a pump shuts off and the weight of the water in a 20-story pipe tries to fall back down.
In high-rise lifting, the kinetic energy of moving water is immense. A sudden pump stop can cause pressure surges that burst pipes or blow out gaskets. We use Soft-Start VFDs and specialized "non-slam" valves to decelerate the water safely.
A common issue in commercial buildings is having "too much" pressure on the lower floors. We perform Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) audits and tuning to ensure that while the 40th floor has great pressure, the 1st floor doesn't suffer from pipe erosion or leaking faucets.
Mechanical rooms are often located near offices or guest rooms. We install Inertia Bases and high-performance vibration-damping pads to ensure that the mechanical "hum" of the lifting system does not disturb your tenants.
Turnkey MEP Capability: We manage the mechanical rigging, the electrical wiring of the control panels, and the plumbing integration as one unified project.
ISO-Certified Quality: Every system is commissioned following international standards to ensure long-term reliability and safety.
Sustainability Focused: Our smart-pump retrofits typically pay for themselves within 18 months through reduced utility and maintenance costs.
Rapid Selangor Support: We provide on-site diagnostics and emergency repairs across the Klang Valley.
