Pumping Stations

The T K Services Prestige Series of packaged pumping stations offer the best solution where a connection to the public sewer is possible, but not via a gravity pipe. With a wide range of tank sizes and pump options, every system is designed to precisely meet the requirements of each individual project. In addition to sewage, pumping stations can be used to control the flow of surface water from most sites.

Both WPL and ACORN design and manufacture high-quality sewage systems that we can supply or install with total confidence. They both provide an excellent after sales service and WPL, in particular, have one of the most
comprehensive research and development programs in the industry.
Other Sewage Related Products: Sand filters, temporary transportable sewage treatment plants, septic tanks, cesspools, grease traps and grease degradation systems.

If you are close to the main sewer the TKS EnviroCare Prestige Range of packaged pumping stations provide an efficient and cost effective means of connection. At TKS EnviroCare, we’re dedicated to ensuring that our customers get the best service we’re able to provide for them. By working closely with our customers, we’re able to determine what the best way to install pumping stations in your community is, and where it’s best to install them.

We’ll ensure that our customers receive the service they need. The pump stations we deliver have a large number of advantages; easy to install, fantastic value, and compact and robust, these pumping stations are ideal for communities without immediate access to the mains drainage system.

Why use a Pumping Station?

The Prestige Foul Water Pumping Station Range is designed to pump the raw effluent that is discharged from homes or business premises. They use two high-quality submersible sewage pumps, operating on a duty/standby basis via a local control panel. Its cylindrical shape and concrete construction make it exceptionally strong. All Prestige foul water pumping stations are constructed from the highest quality components, including the use of stainless steel fittings throughout.

Chamber Design

The pumping station chambers are engineered to high standards and manufactured in either durable RP or concrete ring sections. All connections, both inlet and outlet, and tank capacities can be adapted to suit individual site requirements.

If you select a system that is constructed from concrete ring sections, most of the assembly is carried out on site as part of the installation. Because of this the system design is much more flexible and the finished product precisely matches your unique project requirements.

When specifying a GRP chamber the package comes pre-assembled, enabling it to be delivered to your site ready to be installed in a prepared excavation. It is then a simple matter to fit the pumps into the chamber and to mount the control panel into its housing before commissioning.

All of our packaged pumping stations are supplied with controls which enable fully automatic operation. Most models are also equipped with a high level alarm.

Pump Selection

We use a wide range of submersible pumps, predominantly from the ITT Lowara, KSB and Flygt ranges – all are well known for quality. These include macerator, grinder, solids handling and clean water pumps. A full range of flow and discharge head characteristics allow you to specify the control of discharges from most sites.

Installation

Pumping stations can be incorporated into the design of any private sewage treatment plant. This can be particularly helpful when drainage inverts are deep or when it is necessary to control fluctuating loads.

TKS EnviroCare provide a full supply and installation service for pumping stations and rising mains. This service includes liaising with local authorities and public and private utility companies to obtain the relevant permissions and licences.

Where possible we will use the latest trenchless technology to lay the rising main in the highway to reduce costs and minimise disturbance.

How the Pumping Station Works

The incoming sewage is held in the sump of the pumping chamber. When it reaches a predetermined level it triggers a float switch, which in turn activates one of the pumps. The pump keeps running until the level drops below the ‘stop’ float switch. This sequence continues with each of the pumps operating alternately to ensure even wear and tear.

In the unlikely event that one of the pumps develops a fault then an alarm is triggered and the second pump operates to ensure that system doesn’t stop running. If for any reason the water level within the chamber reaches the ‘high level alarm’ float, then both pumps are put into operation and the alarm is triggered. Once the water level drops sufficiently the alarm will turn off.
