Pumping Stations for Adoption

Overview

Adoptable pumping station works

Some development sites need a pumping station and rising main rather than gravity drainage. Where the system is intended for adoption, the specification, layout, access, controls and handover evidence all need to be considered early.

Civils and drainage interface

Pumping stations normally need careful coordination between civils, drainage, electrical, controls and water company requirements. We help connect those elements so the installation is easier to manage.
