Wastewater Pumping Stations
In wastewater transport, pumping stations are designed to collect and transport wastewater to a point of higher elevation. Pumping stations are also known as lift stations. A pumping station is typically designed to handle wastewater that is fed from underground gravity pipelines and stored in an underground pit or wet well.
The wet well is equipped with electrical instrumentation to detect the level of wastewater present. When the wastewater level rises to a predetermined level, the pumping station commences operation. In the event of high-water flows into the well (for example during peak flow periods and wet weather) additional pumps will start in parallel.
In terms of their size, pumping stations are normally categorised as pressurised pumping stations (small), network pumping stations (medium) or main pumping stations (large). If you are in need of any assistance when it comes to wastewater pumping stations, then make sure to contact us.
