Project Overview

Advantage Pumping Solutions was selected by Barratt Homes to deliver a dual pumping station solution at the Thornberry Gardens development in Dinnington. The project included both a foul water pumping station and a surface water station, serving 152 new homes.

Designed and delivered under the scrutiny of IWNL’s adoptable requirements, the system was engineered to align with updated technical specifications following a mid-project change in adopting authority. The outcome: a robust, NAV-compliant solution delivered on time and within budget.
