An apparatus for pumping fluid includes a centrifugal pump which is mounted to a support base. The support base has a support column which extends from the base in an approximately vertical direction. Braces are connected between the pump and the column along the longitudinal axis of the pump to laterally support the pump in the vertical direction. A thrust chamber and an electric motor are coupled to the pump for driving the pump and absorbing downthrust. The braces have slidable members located within them to allow the pump to thermally grow relative to the support column due to elevated temperatures of the fluid being pumped.
