Specialist pumping station design and adoption support for Wessex Water developments

If your development requires a pumping station for adoption by Wessex Water, the station needs to meet both the national adoption requirements and Wessex Water's additional pumping-station standards.

Advantage Pumping Solutions can support the project from initial design through to equipment supply, installation, commissioning and handover.

Understanding Wessex Water pumping station requirements

Wessex Water can adopt new sewers and pumping stations under a Section 104 agreement.

For pumping stations specifically, Wessex Water publishes its own:

• Pumping Station Addendum

• Pumping Station Adoption Checklist

• Telemetry connection guidance

• Guidance for the adoption of new sewers and pumping stations.

The current Pumping Station Addendum is intended to be used alongside the Design and Construction Guidance, with specified Wessex Water requirements taking precedence where identified.

This makes it important to build the current requirements into the design rather than treating them as a final compliance check.

How Advantage can support your Wessex Water project

We can provide:

•Early pumping-station design advice

• Hydraulic calculations

• Pump selection

• Mechanical and electrical design

• Review against Wessex Water's current addendum

• Technical submission support

• Pump station manufacture and supply

• Installation

• Commissioning

• Telemetry coordination

• Handover support

Manufacturer-independent engineering

Different sites create different operational requirements.

Because Advantage is independent of individual pump manufacturers, our engineers are able to select equipment around the requirements of the development and the adopting organisation.
