Mechanical & Electrical Maintenance – Why It’s Crucial for Long-Term Performance
Pumping stations are built to move wastewater efficiently, safely, and continuously.

Read MoreThe Hidden Cost of Retrospective Pump Station Adoption
When a pumping station isn’t adopted on schedule, the impact extends far beyond inconvenience. For developers, that delay represents capital tied up in bonds, unplanned maintenance costs, and exposure to long-term operational risk that can become a financial drain, and in the worst cases, a reputational one too. At Advantage Pumping Solutions, we regularly support…
Read MoreHow to Ensure a Smooth Transition Between Civil & M&E Works
Every pumping station project involves two critical phases: the civil works, which create the chamber, pipework, and groundwork, and the mechanical and electrical (M&E) installation, where pumps, controls, and commissioning bring the system to life. In theory, the handover between these stages should be seamless. In practice, this is often where projects encounter delays, rework,…

Read MoreThe environmental impact of flushing wipes
Disposing of wipes down the toilet contributes to problems locally, nationally, and internationally. On a local level, blockages develop in the sewers which need to be cleared by professionals, either at the expense of the public purse or your own. Nationally and internationally, however, flushing wipes can contribute to wider issues. Here are three major…
Read MoreWhy should you worry about pump cavitation?
Pump cavitation is a primary cause of pump failure on mobile equipment. If left untreated, cavitation can cause major issues within your pump as well as impeding its function. Cavitation is the formation of cavities (bubbles) in liquid. These bubbles develop around an impeller in areas of low pressure and, when they collapse or implode,…
