Sewage Pump Stations by Alton Pumps

Pump Station Refurbishment

Refurbishment support for ageing sewage pump stations where pumps, valves, pipework, controls, floats or chambers need upgrading.

Pump Station Refurbishment
Practical answer

Pump Station Refurbishment 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.

Refurbishment can extend the life of a pump station

A full new pump station is not always necessary. Many systems can be improved with pump replacement, new guide rails, replacement valves, upgraded control panels, new floats, pipework renewal, alarm improvements and chamber cleaning.

When refurbishment makes sense

Refurbishment is often appropriate where the chamber structure is still serviceable but the mechanical and electrical equipment is worn, unreliable, obsolete or difficult to maintain. It can also improve safety and reduce repeat emergency callouts.

  • Pump replacement and duty review
  • New guide rails, chains and lifting points
  • Valve and pipework renewal
  • Control panel and alarm upgrade
  • Float switch replacement
  • Commissioning and maintenance plan

When replacement may be better

If the chamber is badly sized, unsafe, damaged or located in a way that makes future service difficult, a full replacement package pump station may be the better route.

How we can help

  • Pump station upgrade packages
  • Mechanical and electrical refurbishment
  • Pump and panel replacement
  • Valve and pipework renewal
  • Service plan after refurbishment
