Package 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.
What a package pump station normally includes
A package pump station brings the chamber, pumps, internal pipework, valves, guide rails, floats, access cover, control panel and alarm arrangement into one coordinated pumped drainage system. The right package depends on incoming flow, pumped head, storage volume, solids handling, access, ground conditions, power supply and future maintenance requirements.
Foul sewage, grey water and surface water packages
Package stations are not all the same. A foul sewage station needs pumps and pipework suitable for toilet waste and solids handling. A grey water station may deal with basins, showers, laundries or welfare flows. A surface water station may need to manage storm water, rainwater or clean water flows with different storage and pump duty considerations.

Pumps by Alton Pumps, civils by AFS where needed
Alton Pumps can support the pumping side: pump selection, pumps, panels, floats, alarms, valves, commissioning and servicing. Where the project also needs excavation, concrete bases, chamber installation, trenching, rising mains, ducting or reinstatement, Alton Facility Services can support the civil installation package.
Avoiding poor package station specification
Many repeat pump station faults start with the wrong specification. Common problems include undersized chambers, poor pump duty selection, unsuitable float spacing, lack of emergency storage, poor lifting access, weak covers, incorrect rising main sizing, bad valve access and panels located where they cannot be safely maintained.
Practical pump station guidance
This page answers the practical questions people ask before they call: what the pump station is used for, what can fail, what details are needed, how the equipment and civil scope split, and when the likely route is repair, servicing, refurbishment, replacement or installation.
