Sewage Packaged Pump Stations
If the main sewer is accessible but at a higher level to or is some distance from the site foul drain, then a packaged pump station may be used to pump unsettled sewage directly to the sewer. Whilst single pump units may be acceptable for individual houses, it is recommended that twin pumping systems be used as they provide assistance for redundancy and mechanical failure. For new-build projects your local Council Building Control team will assist in what they deem to be required for non-adoptable pump stations. You will however have to factor in the requirement for 24 hour storage.
Surface Water Packaged Pump Stations
Due to the amount of rainwater that can fall in a short time period, Surface water run-off is often the most demanding of all applications, whether hard-standing or roof areas. Careful calculation of the run-off areas is essential when sizing these pump systems, especially taking into account climate change calculations. Flows of up to 100 l/sec are possible with our packages or our contract division can accommodate flows up to 1000 l/sec.
