Peak-flow duty
Review rainfall inflow, attenuation storage and permitted discharge.
Stormwater Pump Stations
Stormwater pump stations for surface-water drainage, attenuation systems, basement drainage and sites where gravity discharge is restricted.
SURFACE WATER & FLOOD DUTY
Controlled Stormwater Pump Stations For Peak Rainfall Events
Stormwater stations must be assessed against the design inflow, allowable discharge, storage volume, pump duty, power supply and the effect of an extreme event.
The system may include duty/assist/standby operation, variable-speed control, level instrumentation, high-level alarms and backup or resilience measures.
We support new systems, replacement pumps and controls, capacity reviews, fault diagnosis and planned maintenance.
Pump arrangement
Select duty, assist and standby operation to match the risk.
Controls
Coordinate level control, variable speed, alarms and interfaces.
Resilience
Consider power loss, exceedance, emergency storage and access.

Approach
Send the station drawings, pump and panel information, fault history or proposed duty for a technical review.
A stormwater system must be considered at the design event, not only during normal dry-weather operation. Storage, controls and pump staging affect how the station responds as inflow increases.
Leaves, silt and debris can affect pumps and level devices, so upstream management and practical cleaning access are important.
For a technical review, provide the drainage strategy, design inflow, storage levels, permitted discharge, rising-main information and electrical supply.
Model
Confirm inflow, storage and allowable discharge.
Stage
Select pump numbers, duty points and control sequence.
Protect
Define alarms, level devices and resilience measures.
Maintain
Plan inspection, cleaning and functional testing.

STORMWATER PUMP STATIONS FAQ
Stormwater Pump Stations Questions
Common questions about scope, technical information and delivery.
How is a stormwater pump station sized? +
Sizing requires the design inflow, storage volume, operating levels, allowable discharge, rising-main losses and required resilience.
Can stormwater pumps be variable speed? +
Yes, where variable-speed control suits the hydraulic design and control philosophy.
What causes stormwater station alarms? +
High inflow, blocked pumps, failed level devices, electrical faults, restricted discharge or loss of power can all trigger alarms.
Do stormwater stations need standby pumps? +
The arrangement depends on the consequence of failure, design standard and site-specific risk.
Can you review an existing station capacity? +
Yes, provided the available drainage, storage, level, pump and discharge information is sufficient for the agreed review.
