The scope includes the removal and disposal of existing pumping infrastructure and the installation of two submersible Flyte pump units (approximately 3.1kW), together with associated mechanical components including stainless steel guide rails, brackets, lifting chains, and discharge connections. Pre-construction activities comprise site verification, dimensional checks, and preparation of technical designs and submittals.
