Condition and risk
Identify failed, obsolete and high-risk equipment.
Pump station upgrades and refurbishment for ageing, unreliable or underperforming stations, including pumps, controls, level systems, alarms, telemetry, valves and discharge equipment.
An upgrade should address the reason for poor reliability rather than simply replacing the oldest visible component.
We review duty, condition, obsolescence, controls, access and maintenance history before proposing a staged or complete refurbishment.
Works can range from pump and control replacement to new guide systems, valves, internal pipework, telemetry and kiosk equipment.
Identify failed, obsolete and high-risk equipment.
Check whether existing pumps and pipework suit current flow and head.
Improve protection, level control, alarms and remote visibility.
Plan urgent, short-term and capital works around site operation.
Send the station drawings, pump and panel information, fault history or proposed duty for a technical review.
Older stations often contain a mixture of obsolete pumps, modified controls and undocumented changes. A survey and asset review help define what can remain and what should be replaced.
Capacity changes should be checked hydraulically; larger pumps can overload the rising main or electrical supply and may not resolve incoming drainage limitations.
For a refurbishment review, send drawings, pump and panel data, service history, fault records, photographs and any known future flow changes.
Record condition, duty, obsolescence and access.
Separate urgent defects from planned improvements.
Replace pumps, controls and mechanical equipment.
Test the upgraded station and update records.
Alton Pumps installed two new 230V foul pumps and a new 230V twin-pump control panel at a Hampshire pump station.
Recorded outcome: The new pumps and panel were tested as a complete system and recorded as working.

Common questions about scope, technical information and delivery.
Refurbishment is appropriate where equipment is obsolete, repeatedly failing, unsafe to maintain, poorly controlled or no longer suitable for the duty.
Yes, where the equipment interfaces and operational risk allow a planned staged programme.
Yes. Coordinating pumps, motor protection, controls, sensors and alarms often produces a more reliable result.
Not necessarily. The rising main, power supply, storage, receiving system and operating point must all be checked.
Yes, subject to the control design, communications, required signals and agreed monitoring platform.
