Hydraulic duty
Match pump performance to inflow, static lift and rising-main losses.
Sewage, Foul & Wastewater Pump Stations
Sewage, foul and wastewater pump stations for domestic, commercial and industrial sites, from compact packaged chambers to larger duty/standby pumping systems.
FOUL & WASTEWATER PUMPING
Reliable Sewage Pump Stations For Foul and Wastewater Duty
A foul pumping station or wastewater pump station moves sewage and wastewater where gravity drainage cannot reach the receiving sewer. The correct pumps, chamber storage, controls, alarms, valves and rising main must operate as one system.
We support new installations, replacement stations, pump and control upgrades, fault diagnosis and planned servicing.
Systems can be specified for houses, apartment buildings, commercial premises, schools, care facilities, industrial sites and developments.
Solids handling
Select appropriate free passage, impeller type and operating velocity.
Resilience
Consider twin pumps, alarm escalation and emergency storage.
Maintenance access
Provide safe lifting, valve access and maintainable controls.

Pump Station
Approach
Send the station drawings, pump and panel information, fault history or proposed duty for a technical review.
Commercial sewage pumping stations require dependable duty/standby operation, suitable solids handling, high-level alarms and maintenance access. Domestic and smaller packaged stations need the same duty checks at an appropriate scale.
Recurring blockages or alarms may be caused by unsuitable pumps, poor level settings, damaged non-return valves, restricted rising mains or inappropriate incoming waste.
For existing stations, send photographs of the wet well, control panel and valve chamber together with pump data, alarm symptoms and any service history.

SEWAGE, FOUL & WASTEWATER PUMP STATIONS FAQ
Sewage, Foul & Wastewater Pump Stations Questions
Common questions about scope, technical information and delivery.
What is a sewage pump station? +
It collects foul water or wastewater and pumps it through a rising main where gravity drainage is not possible.
Should a sewage station have two pumps? +
Twin-pump duty/standby systems are often used where continuity is important, but the required arrangement depends on the site and risk.
Why does a sewage pump station keep alarming? +
Possible causes include pump faults, blockages, failed floats or sensors, valve problems, electrical faults, high inflow or rising-main restrictions.
Can you replace pumps in an existing station? +
Yes. The replacement should be checked against the actual duty, solids requirement, guide system, controls and available power.
Do you service sewage pump stations? +
Yes. Planned servicing can include pump, control, alarm, valve, level and condition checks to an agreed scope.
