Bespoke Pump Systems
Tricel provides bespoke pump systems designed around the hydraulic, control and installation requirements of each project. From preassembled pump packages and skid-mounted systems to integrated pumps and controls, our team can help develop a practical solution for commercial, industrial and water-management applications.
01
Bespoke Pump Solutions
Every project is different. Tricel develops pumping solutions around the required duty, operating conditions, control strategy and installation constraints. These are solution types, not fixed products.
Packaged Pump Sets
Preassembled Pump Solutions
FORMAT
Preassembled pump set
TYPICAL SCOPE
Pumps, valves and controls, as required
SUITED TO
Projects where on-site work should be kept to a minimum
Packaged pump sets combine the required pumps, valves, controls and supporting components into one coordinated system. Tricel assembles and tests each prepackaged set in its own facilities before delivery, reducing work on site.
Skid-Mounted Pump Systems
Integrated Pump Packages
FORMAT
Components on one frame
TYPICAL FORMAT
Pumps, vessels, valves and pressure switches, as required
SUITED TO
Systems that should arrive as a single unit
Where several components must work as one system, they can be arranged on a single skid. Tricel pressurisation units, for example, combine the pump, break tank, pressure vessel, valves and pressure switches on a skid-mounted frame.
Pump & Control Packages
Integrated Pump Control
FORMAT
Pumps with their control systems
TYPICAL SCOPE
Pump controls, monitoring and BMS interfaces, as required
SUITED TO
Systems with a defined control strategy
A pumping system is more than the pump. Tricel’s engineers specify, supply, install, service and maintain pumps and their control systems, so the control strategy is considered alongside the hydraulic requirement.
Custom Pumping Solutions
Project-Specific Pump Systems
FORMAT
Designed for the project
TYPICAL SCOPE
Selected around duty, liquid and space
SUITED TO
Non-standard duties
Where a standard package does not suit the application, Tricel offers customised pump solutions designed around specific operating parameters such as flow, pressure, the liquid handled, available space and operating requirements.
From Requirement to Complete Pump System
Designed Around the Duty, Not the Catalogue
A bespoke pump system starts with understanding what the installation needs to achieve. Our team reviews the required flow, head or pressure, operating conditions, control requirements and available space before identifying the pumps, controls and supporting components. Where appropriate, systems are preassembled and tested before delivery, reducing on-site assembly and simplifying commissioning.

03
Designing the Right Bespoke Pump System
Every bespoke system starts with understanding the application and its operating requirements.
|
Factor
|
What we need to know
|
|---|---|
|
Flow
|
What volume of liquid must the system move?
|
|
Head / pressure
|
What pressure or total system head must the pumps overcome?
|
|
Liquid
|
What liquid is being handled, and are specific materials required?
|
|
Operating profile
|
Will the system run continuously, intermittently or at varying demand?
|
|
Controls
|
What level of automatic control, monitoring or system integration is required?
|
|
Redundancy
|
Is standby capacity or additional resilience required?
|
|
Installation space
|
What footprint, access and pipework constraints exist?
|
|
Environment
|
Will the equipment operate indoors, outdoors or under specific site conditions?

04
From Specification to Commissioning
The main differences are the number of pumps, the level of control and the type of application. Use this as a starting point before final selection.
01
Understand
Review the application, required duty, operating conditions and project constraints, on site where needed.
02
SPECIFY
Select suitable pumps, controls and supporting components around the required performance.
03
ASSEMBLE & TEST
Where appropriate, packaged sets are assembled and tested in Tricel’s facilities before delivery.
04
INSTALL & COMMISSION
Installation and commissioning support so the system is set up correctly for operation.
Built Around the Right Components
Bespoke systems let pumps, controls and associated equipment be selected around the project, rather than forcing the application around a standard package. Tricel is a Premier Authorised Distributor for Grundfos and selects equipment for the required operating conditions.
Support Beyond Pump Supply
Where an existing installation or site conditions need to be assessed, Tricel provides technical support throughout the project.
Site surveys
Our team visits site to assess the installation and specify the pump-system requirements.
Installation & Commissioning
Supply, installation and commissioning so the system is set up correctly from day one.
Service & Maintenance
Preventative maintenance contracts, repairs and emergency call-outs. Pump service and maintenance
frequently asked questions
What is a bespoke pump system?
A bespoke pump system is designed around the specific hydraulic, control and installation requirements of a project, rather than selected as a completely standard off-the-shelf package.
What information is needed to design a custom pump system?
Typically the required flow, pressure or head, the liquid being pumped, operating conditions, control requirements, available installation space and any redundancy requirements.
Can a bespoke pump system be supplied preassembled?
Yes, where it suits the project. Tricel assembles and tests prepackaged pump sets in its own facilities before delivery, which reduces installation work on site.
Can Tricel install and commission the pump system?
Yes. Tricel supplies, installs and commissions pump systems, and offers site surveys, preventative maintenance contracts and repairs, either as a complete package or as an add-on after supply.
Bespoke Pump Systems in Ireland
Tricel provides bespoke pump systems in Ireland for commercial, industrial and water-management projects, from packaged pump systems to engineered pump systems built around a specific duty.
From initial specification through component selection, packaged assembly, installation and commissioning, our team develops custom pump systems and custom pump packages around the operating requirements of each project. Where a skid mounted pump system suits the site, as with Tricel pressurisation units, the equipment can be assembled on a common frame. Tricel’s work on custom pumping systems in Ireland includes booster sets sized on site for Fermoy Primary Care Centre and custom pressurisation units for Apple in Cork.
Whether the requirement is a straightforward preassembled pump set or a more complex pump and control package, talk to Tricel about bespoke pumping solutions for your application. For standard ranges, see pressure boosting sets and dosing pumps.
