Project Overview
Advantage Pumping Solutions was appointed by Mulgrave Properties to deliver an adoptable surface water pumping station at their new residential development in Burniston, North Yorkshire. Designed to manage site drainage effectively and meet adoption standards, the station formed a key element of the development's infrastructure package.
Why We Won the Project
Mulgrave Properties selected Advantage for our track record in delivering compliant adoptable systems, our reputation with Yorkshire Water, and our ability to provide expert support from design to handover. With performance, compliance, and ease of adoption key to this project, we were chosen for our:
- In-depth knowledge of Yorkshire Water’s technical expectations
- Reputation for first-time adoption success with no remedial work
- Quality assurance processes built into every phase of the project
What We Delivered
Our team supported the full lifecycle of the project—from initial specification and liaison with Yorkshire Water through to final commissioning and adoption. We ensured the pumping station was:
- Fully compliant with DCG and Yorkshire Water addendum requirements
- Delivered and installed to a high standard of workmanship
- Signed off by Yorkshire Water without the need for any remedials
This outcome reflects Advantage’s consistent commitment to delivering pump stations that are not only functional and compliant—but also install-ready and low-risk for adoption.

This smooth process is a direct result of our proactive planning and experienced field teams.
Outcome

Through detailed technical input and on-site assistance, we supported the contractor in overcoming installation challenges and maintaining full compliance. The result was a straightforward installation that kept the programme moving and ensured confidence in the final system.
