Sewage Pump Stations by Alton Pumps

Concrete Ring Pump Stations

Pump stations can be constructed using precast concrete rings or site-built concrete chambers where a more bespoke chamber arrangement is required.

Concrete Ring Pump Stations
Practical answer

Concrete Ring Pump Stations support is handled around the actual pump station arrangement: chamber type, pumped material, pump duty, controls, alarms, valves, rising main, access, ground conditions and whether the work is repair, servicing, refurbishment, replacement or new installation.

Precast concrete ring pump stations

Concrete ring pump stations are often used where the chamber needs to be larger, deeper, more bespoke or suited to particular civil engineering constraints. They can be built around precast rings, cover slabs and site-specific pipe entries.

Internal pump station equipment

A concrete chamber still needs the right pumps, guide rails, lifting chains, discharge pipework, valves, floats, control panel, high level alarm and maintenance access. Poor internal arrangement can make a robust chamber unreliable.

Civil construction and pump fit-out

Alton Facility Services can support civil installation where required. Alton Pumps can support the pump station equipment, controls, commissioning and ongoing servicing.
