As urbanisation increases and we build in more remote and inaccessible areas, the need to pump wastewater to treatment works becomes a key consideration at the planning stage, particularly with developments situated below the gravity sewer, or a considerable distance away. As such, the traditional solution has been to build a pumping station consisting of a chamber constructed with concrete rings and fitted out with pipes, valves and pumping equipment to move the wastewater to the gravity main.
Working to the standards specified by an individual water company, we can design and deliver a PPS that not only conforms to the standards required for pipework, valve layout, pump types, level and control specifications but also benefits from the Flygt patented design and quality assurance.
Tailored options to suit your development
The answer lies in the simplicity or complexity of your scheme, but you can rest assured that here at Xylem we can provide a solution to your wastewater pumping needs. Our pumping and system engineering experts will advise you through every aspect of your scheme and deliver a solution backed by the knowledge that we only use our very own Flygt pumps.
For simple and smaller applications, look no further than Flygt’s prefabricated Packaged Pumping Stations, fully kitted out with pump(s), valves and pipe work, which can be delivered to site and simply placed in the ground. As the market leader in submersible pumps, we have developed a comprehensive range of Packaged Pumping Stations (PPS) that are suitable for single dwellings through to major developments.
For larger and more complex applications, our engineers specialise in the design of bespoke pumping stations which meet the Sewers for Adoption Legislation and applicable local water authority standard. Our highly skilled team is available to help you through every stop of your project from pumping station design, through to installation, commissioning and maintenance.
