Pumping Stations: Important Facts and Specifications

Pump stations or also know as packaged pumping stations or pumped systems, are an intermediate storage or collecting chamber that incorporates pump sets that have the power to transfer either the surface water or foul to a local drain, sewer, or a manhole. The main use of pump stations is when there isn't a normal gravity system, mainly because of the insufficient gravity fall over a distance (the recommended one is minimum 1:40) or because the common collecting point is lower than the sewer.

Simply said, packaged pump stations are used when gravity drainage on site can't be achieved, so the waste from the site would flow into a special underground storage chamber, and after that would be pumped into the main sewer.
Pump stations can be also used for foul water (sewage), as well as for surface water applications and most of them are designed to have a 24-hour storage capacity.
