What Is A Package Pump Station And When Is It Needed?

Package pump stations are essential in developments on flat land, basement installations, low-lying plots, or commercial sites where drainage must be lifted to the sewer or watercourse.

These units ensure reliable performance and meet regulatory standards with minimum disruption.

What Services Are Included With Package Pump Station Installation?

We provide a complete installation service for package pump stations, covering all aspects from assessment to handover, including:

• Site inspection and assessment – Evaluation of inflow rates, discharge requirements, and ground conditions.
• System design and specification – Custom configuration of chamber size, pump type, and control features.
• Component supply – Delivery of the full system including chamber, pumps, float switches, control panel, and alarms.
• Excavation and installation – Groundworks, placement of the chamber, and secure installation of all system parts.
• Pipework connections – Integration with existing foul or surface water drainage networks.
• Electrical setup and commissioning – Wiring of control systems, alarms, and testing of all electrical functions.
• Final testing and certification – Performance verification, compliance checks, and system documentation.
• Ongoing support options – Maintenance contracts and emergency call-out services available post-installation.

How Much Does A Package Pump Station Cost?

The cost of package pump station ranges from £8,000 to over £35,000, depending on the stations’ capacity, application type, and on-site conditions.

Costs are primarily influenced by the pump configuration (single or dual systems), chamber size and material, telemetry or alarm features, and any specialist requirements such as chemical resistance or high-head pumping.

How Is A Package Pump Station Installed?

The installation of package pump stations starts with excavating the site to the required depth, followed by pouring a level concrete base. Once set, the chamber is lowered into place and aligned with the inlet and discharge pipework, which are then securely connected. Pumps, float switches, and the control panel are installed and wired to mains power, with alarms or telemetry added if specified.

After full electrical setup, the system is commissioned and tested to ensure correct operation. The excavation is backfilled with proper compaction, and the site is restored. Final handover includes certification and documentation, with just-in-time delivery used to coordinate installation efficiently.

Can A Package Pump Station Be Retrofitted To Existing Systems?

Package pump stations can be retrofitted into existing systems where old or inefficient pumping setups are no longer sufficient.

Our services include removal of outdated systems, supply and installation of modern packaged units, and reconfiguration of existing pipework. We provide upgraded chambers, pumping capacity, and controls to future-proof the site and meet current compliance standards.

What Types Of Package Pump Stations Are Available?

We supply a wide range of package pump stations tailored to different applications and site needs, including:

• Sewage pump stations – Designed for handling foul water from residential, commercial, or industrial properties.
• Surface water pump stations – Built to manage rainwater and stormwater runoff from roofs, car parks, and hard standings.
• Effluent pump stations – Suitable for greywater disposal from treatment plants, kitchens, or laundry systems.
• GRP and polyethylene chambers – Durable, corrosion-resistant chambers sized to project specifications.
• Single or dual-pump setups – Configurable based on flow rate, redundancy requirements, and duty/standby operation.
• Float-switch and control options – Automatic level sensing and pump activation based on system demand.
• Telemetry and alarm systems – Remote monitoring, fault alerts, and system diagnostics for critical sites.
• Customised designs – Engineered to meet environmental regulations, planning approvals, and discharge permits.

What Maintenance Is Required For Package Pump Stations?

Package pump stations require periodic maintenance, including pump inspection, cleaning, float and valve testing, control-panel checks, and verification of alarms and telemetry systems.

We offer annual service contracts and emergency support, ensuring reliable performance and regulatory compliance. Regular upkeep can extend system life and prevent costly failures or downtime.

What Components Are Supplied With A Package Pump Station?

A package pump station is delivered as a fully integrated system with all necessary components for efficient and compliant operation, including:

• Pre-assembled chamber – Factory-built unit in GRP or polyethylene, sized to suit flow and storage requirements.
• Submersible or dry-installed pumps – Selected based on application type, flow rate, and head requirements.
• Pump guide rails and pedestals – Allow safe lowering, positioning, and retrieval of pumps during maintenance.
• Non-return and isolation valves – Prevent backflow and allow secure servicing without draining the system.
• Inlet and outlet pipework – Configured to connect directly to existing drainage or discharge lines.
• Control panel – Includes mains power controls, pump logic, manual override, and alarm indicators.
• Level control system – Float switches or ultrasonic sensors to activate pumps based on fluid levels.
• Optional telemetry units – Remote monitoring and alert systems for critical infrastructure.
• External alarm beacons – Visual and audible indicators for fault or high-level conditions.
• Lockable access cover – Provides safe, secure entry for inspections and servicing.

What Regulations Must Be Followed For Pump Station Installation?

Installing a package pump station requires compliance with sewage group consent, drainage-approved design standards, and environmental regulations regulating pumped discharges.

Electrical installation also requires compliance with BS 7671 wiring regulations. Our team ensures full documentation, test certification, and coordination with relevant authorities, fully managing your project’s compliance obligations.
