Pump station cost depends on chamber size, pump duty, controls, material, depth, ground conditions, rising main length, access, electrical works, commissioning and whether civil installation is required.
What affects pump station cost
The biggest cost drivers are pump type, number of pumps, chamber size, chamber material, inlet depth, high water table risk, excavation depth, concrete base requirements, access cover loading, control panel specification, alarm requirements, valves, guide rails, rising main distance and reinstatement.
Supply only, equipment replacement or full installation
A simple replacement pump or control panel repair is very different from a full package pump station installation. Alton Pumps can handle the pump equipment side and Alton Facility Services can support the civil installation where excavation, chamber setting and reinstatement are required.
Information needed for a useful budget
Useful information includes site postcode, photos, pump labels, control panel photos, chamber depth, inlet level, whether the system pumps sewage or surface water, any drawings, access restrictions, ground conditions and whether the enquiry is planned or urgent.
