Sewage Pump Stations by Alton Pumps

Sewage Pump Stations

Sewage pump stations lift foul drainage where gravity drainage is not practical. They need correct pump selection, storage, controls, valves, access and future servicing.

Sewage Pump Stations
Practical answer

Sewage Pump Stations 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.

A complete sewage pumping system

A sewage pump station is not just a chamber with a pump in it. It includes the incoming drainage, chamber, pumps, guide rails, lifting chains, internal pipework, non-return valves, isolation valves, floats, control panel, alarm, cover, access and rising main.

Common sewage pump station types

Systems may be domestic, micro, commercial, developer, adoptable, apartment block, care home, GRP, HDPE, concrete ring, single pump or twin pump. Each one needs to be selected around flow, head, solids, resilience and service access.
