Attenuation Tank Pump Stations are assessed around the pumped liquid, chamber type, pump duty, controls, alarms, floats, valves, rising main, ground conditions and access for future maintenance.
What attenuation tank pump stations are used for
Attenuation tank pump stations lift controlled surface water discharge where gravity outfall is not possible or levels are restricted.
Selection and site considerations
The pump station must match attenuation storage, discharge limits, outfall level, pump rate, control philosophy and maintenance access. Storm response and alarm planning are important.
Repair, replacement and maintenance considerations
The correct approach depends on the age of the chamber, pump duty, condition of floats, valves, non-return valves, guide rails, control panel, alarms, rising main and access. Alton Pumps can support the pumping equipment and Alton Facility Services can support civils where excavation, chambers, pipework or reinstatement are required.
What to send before attendance
Useful information includes the site postcode, photographs of the chamber and control panel, pump model plates, alarm status, inlet depth if known, rising main route, discharge point, access restrictions, and whether the system handles foul sewage, grey water, surface water, rainwater or commercial wastewater.
