Pump Station Design Services
Our expert design and engineering team work hard to make sure that every pump station is designed for optimal efficiency, reliability, and compliance with the latest UK guidelines, regulations and industry standards.
Bespoke Engineering
We understand that no two projects are the same. That’s why we take a customised approach to pump station design, carefully assessing factors such as flow rates, site topography, and space constraints to develop a pump station that meets operational and environmental requirements.
Integration with Existing Infrastructure
Whether designing a new system or upgrading an older system, we design our pump stations to seamlessly integrate with the current drainage networks, treatment facilities, and control systems. This helps to minimise disruption, optimise performance, and extend the lifespan of the entire system.
Industry Compliance & Regulatory Standards
Regulatory compliance is critical in the design, particularly for developments requiring adoptable pump stations by local water authorities. Our designs adhere to the latest Sewers for Adoption (SFA), Design & Construction Guidance (DCG), and British Standards. We also prioritise health and safety regulations, with safe access for maintenance and future-proofing the station for long-term reliability.
Why Pump Station Design Matters
Pump stations play a crucial role in water supply and wastewater management, providing movement of water where gravity alone isn’t enough. Whether for drainage, sewage, or clean water distribution, a well-designed pump station is essential for preventing flooding, maintaining hygiene, and supporting infrastructure. Our team combines cutting-edge technology with in-depth industry knowledge to deliver pump stations that perform efficiently and stand the test of time.
Pump station design is essential for:
Efficiency – A well-optimised system reduces energy consumption and running costs.
Longevity – High-quality materials and expert engineering extend the lifespan of the pump station.
Ease of Maintenance – Thoughtful design means easy access for inspections and servicing, reducing downtime and costly repairs.
Poorly designed pump stations can lead to a range of issues, including:
Frequent blockages – Inefficient flow design or improper pump selection can lead to clogged pumps and pipes meaning more maintenance and potential repair costs.
High running costs – Energy-inefficient systems can increase operational expenses.
Premature failures – Subpar components and inadequate ventilation can cause wear and breakdowns.
Difficult maintenance access – Poor layout can make servicing and repairs challenging, leading to costly disruptions.
Key Components of Pump Station Design
Designing reliable, efficient pump stations requires careful consideration of multiple engineering elements. We focus on every critical component to ensure your pump station delivers optimal performance, longevity, and ease of operation.
Pump Selection
The right pump is at the heart of any pump station design. To select the right pump solution we assess factors such as flow rate, head pressure, and the type of liquid being handled. Whether submersible, dry well, or surface-mounted. The pump type needs to be perfectly matched to the demands of the application while minimising maintenance requirements.
Control Systems & Automation
Keeping up with the times is important. Our modern approach to pump station design means including intelligent control systems and automation. Using advanced controls that allow for remote monitoring, real-time fault detection, and system adjustments. Allowing for simple and efficient performance management, reducing the need for on-site intervention and minimising downtime.
Power & Backup Solutions
To guarantee operation, we include robust power supply systems and backup solutions. These include mains power connections to standby generators, battery backups, and pump redundancy setups. Protect against unexpected failures and remain operational.
Hydraulic Design
To avoid costly issues such as blockages or cavitation, then hydraulic design is a key factor. We calculate pipework sizes, flow rates, and pressure losses to optimise the system’s performance. The result is a pumping system that reduces energy consumption, handles peak flows effectively, and is consistent.
Control Systems & Automation
Keeping up with the times is important. Our modern approach to pump station design means including intelligent control systems and automation. Using advanced controls that allow for remote monitoring, real-time fault detection, and system adjustments. Allowing for simple and efficient performance management, reducing the need for on-site intervention and minimising downtime.
