Wastewater Pump Stations are assessed around the pumped liquid, chamber type, pump duty, controls, alarms, floats, valves, rising main, ground conditions and access for future maintenance.
What wastewater pump stations are used for
Wastewater pump stations cover foul sewage, grey water, commercial wastewater and other pumped drainage where gravity is not possible.
Selection and site considerations
The term wastewater covers several different liquids, so pump type, chamber material, seals, controls, alarms and maintenance frequency should match the actual site use.
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.
