Pump Station Civil Installation are assessed around the pumped liquid, chamber type, pump duty, controls, alarms, floats, valves, rising main, ground conditions and access for future maintenance.
What pump station civil installation are used for
Pump station civil installation covers excavation, temporary works considerations, chamber setting, concrete bases, pipework, ducting, rising main trenches, backfill, cover levels and reinstatement.
Selection and site considerations
Civil installation is often where pump station projects succeed or fail. Ground conditions, groundwater, access, lifting, chamber depth, inlet levels, cover loading and reinstatement all affect the final system.
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.
