What is a sewage pumping station?
A sewage pumping station comprises a large tank that acts as the receiver for sewage from a building or a group of buildings.
The sewage will sit in the chamber until it reaches a predetermined level. Once the level is reached, the sewage is lifted through a discharge system using a high-pressure integral pump. The sewage will travel out of the pumping station into a sewage treatment works or gravity sewer.
When should you consider a sewage pump station?
- When the costs of managing groundworks to allow sewage to flow by gravity outweigh the cost of implementing a wet well pump station.
- When the sewer line passes over a ridge.
- When the basement floors are too low to accommodate sewage flow by gravity.
- Where a gravity system has not been built.
Advantages of a Sewage Pump Station
- Easy installation, which can reduce construction costs.
- Sewage is pumped automatically without any human contact, eliminating the risk of health issues.
- Varying sizes of pumps are available for both domestic and commercial applications.
- The intake of the pumps is often wide to prevent blocking.
- Sewage pumping systems are fitted with alarms to alert you to problems with the system, minimising the risk of sewage overflow.
