Pumping to Mains Sewer are assessed around the pumped liquid, chamber type, pump duty, controls, alarms, floats, valves, rising main, ground conditions and access for future maintenance.
What pumping to mains sewer are used for
Pumping to mains sewer is needed where gravity fall is not available or the connection point is higher than the site drainage.
Selection and site considerations
The design should consider the receiving sewer, discharge route, rising main, non-return valves, storage, pump duty, alarms, access and any consent or adoption requirements.
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.
