In order to protect pumps from exposure to weather and provide operator convenience for pump and valve maintenance, a “building on rollers” was designed. One wall of the building is stationary and two walls have rollers which sit on angle iron much like railroad tracks. The light‐weight structure can be moved by one person with little effort and provides excellent work space utilization.
