Adoptable pumping station design and support for Severn Trent developments

If your development requires a wastewater pumping station for eventual adoption by Severn Trent, considering the adoption requirements during the design stage can help prevent unnecessary changes later.

Advantage Pumping Solutions works with housebuilders, developers, consultants and groundworkers to provide specialist pumping station design, installation and commissioning support.

Understanding Severn Trent pumping station requirements

Severn Trent states that new sewerage systems should be designed in accordance with the Design and Construction Guidance within the Sewerage Sector Guidance to enable entry into a Section 104 agreement.

Where the development includes a pumping station, Severn Trent specifically directs developers to its additional pumping-station addendum.

Severn Trent also recommends discussing the proposed sewerage arrangement before the S104 application or as part of the pre-planning process.

That’s consistent with our approach: identify the pumping-station requirements before the detailed design becomes difficult or expensive to change.

Severn Trent pumping station FAQs

What standards apply to Severn Trent adoptable pumping stations?

Severn Trent requires new sewerage systems to follow the Design and Construction Guidance within the Sewerage Sector Guidance, alongside its pumping-station addendum where applicable.

Should I engage with Severn Trent before submitting a Section 104 application?

Severn Trent recommends early discussion, either before the S104 submission or through the pre-planning process.

Can Advantage support the complete pumping-station package?

Yes. Depending on your requirements, we can support design, equipment supply, installation, commissioning and the technical elements needed for handover.
