Specialist pumping station support for developments using ESP Water

ESP Water works with developers to adopt and operate water and wastewater infrastructure through the NAV market.

Where a wastewater network includes a pumping station, Advantage can provide the specialist engineering expertise required to turn the wider drainage strategy into an operational, adoptable asset.

Our established NAV relationships allow us to work collaboratively with the adopting organisation, developer, consultant and groundworker throughout the process.

Understanding ESP Water's approach

ESP Water is an independent water and sewerage company operating as a NAV on new housing and high-rise developments in England.

Its water team includes specialists with extensive backgrounds in incumbent water companies, wastewater networks, drainage, development services and NAV operations. ESP states that its Water division has more than 200 years of combined water-industry expertise.

ESP also confirms that wastewater pumping stations form part of its developing wastewater asset base. Its 2026 Pollution Incident Reduction Plan describes pumping stations operating with associated rising mains, telemetry, remote intervention and planned inspection and maintenance.

Helping create an adoptable pumping-station solution

ESP promotes early engagement with developers as a means of resolving infrastructure constraints and reducing delivery risk.

Advantage takes the same approach.

Bringing the pumping-station specialist into the process early means the hydraulic design, M&E specification, station layout and operational requirements can be considered alongside the proposed NAV adoption route.

How Advantage can support an ESP Water project

Our team can assist with:

•  Early pumping-station strategy

•  Hydraulic calculations

•  Pump and rising-main selection

•  Mechanical and electrical design

•  Technical design coordination

•  Telemetry requirements

•  Pump station manufacture

•  Installation

•  Commissioning

•  Handover information

•  Support through adoption

Experience and relationships that simplify delivery

NAV adoption can involve several organisations: developer, consultant, contractor, NAV and incumbent water company.

Advantage's experience working across these interfaces helps remove some of that burden from the development team.

Rather than asking the developer to relay every technical issue between organisations, we can work directly with the relevant parties to help resolve pumping-station matters efficiently.

ESP Water pumping station FAQs

Does ESP Water operate wastewater pumping stations?

Yes. ESP's current asset-management information specifically covers wastewater pumping stations and associated rising mains, telemetry and maintenance.

Does ESP use telemetry on pumping stations?

ESP states that its wastewater pumping-station assets use telemetry enabling monitoring and remote intervention, including remote pump reset where required.

Can Advantage work directly with ESP's technical team?

Advantage's role can include technical coordination with the NAV alongside the developer's consultant and construction team, helping reduce the number of interfaces the developer needs to manage.

Planning an ESP Water pumping station?

Bring Advantage into the conversation early and let our NAV experience help create a smoother route from design to adoption.
