Pumped Sewer Connections are assessed around the pumped liquid, chamber type, pump duty, controls, alarms, floats, valves, rising main, ground conditions and access for future maintenance.
What pumped sewer connections are used for
Pumped sewer connections are used where a property or development cannot connect by gravity to the receiving sewer or drainage system.
Selection and site considerations
The pumping arrangement needs to match the discharge point, rising main route, head, flow, storage and any water authority or highway constraints.
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.
