Questions we
get asked
If yours is not here, call us. We would rather talk it through than have you guess.
- What areas do you serve?
- We run jobs throughout Idaho, Washington & Oregon, based out of Burley, ID. If you are outside that range, call anyway. For the right job, we travel.
- How much does manure pumping cost?
- We do not publish flat rates, because no two operations are the same. Pricing depends on your acreage, the distance you need the material moved, and the time of year. Call us with those three things and we will give you a real number.
- How fast can you pump?
- Our high-capacity systems pump at rates up to 3,800 GPM. Hours of work, not days or weeks. Actual throughput on your job depends on distance, lift and hose configuration.
- Why not just run the manure through the pivots?
- Because it is slower, smellier, and it puts mist in the air. High-capacity pumping puts nutrients on the field instead of through the pivots: less smell, nothing drifting over the neighbors, and an application that is easier to stand behind when the regulators ask. The job goes from days or weeks down to hours.
- How fast does a lagoon job go?
- Our systems peak at 3,800 GPM, so a job that used to take days or weeks through the pivots gets done in hours. Throughput on your place still depends on distance, lift and hose. On a good window we can move a million gallons in about six hours.
- What kind of operations do you work with?
- Our equipment and crews are built around large-scale dairy operations, Magic Valley dairies included, whether you have run the place for decades or just took it over. That is the work we have specialized in for nearly four decades, and it is what our pumps, drag lines and fabrication are engineered for.
- Can you build equipment to my specifications?
- Yes. We fabricate to your drawings or engineer a solution alongside your team: custom drag lines, brackets, manifolds, trailers, tanks and structural work, in steel and stainless. If the part you need does not exist off the shelf, we build it.
- Do you repair or modify existing equipment?
- We do. Alongside new fabrication we handle repairs and retrofits on existing drag lines, plus on-site repair and modification of equipment already in service.
- How long have you been in business?
- 39 years. Pacific Pumping & Fabrication has been building high-capacity pumping solutions for large-scale dairy operations for nearly four decades.
- What are your hours?
- The shop runs Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm. Field crews run 24/7 during peak season. If your job is in progress, we do not knock off at 5. Call anytime.
