Project Overview
Advantage Pumping Solutions was appointed by Persimmon Homes Yorkshire to deliver both foul and surface water adoptable pumping stations for the Foxes Chase residential development. Designed to support a growing community of 51 properties, the project is an essential part of the site’s drainage infrastructure and long-term compliance with Yorkshire Water’s adoption criteria.
Why We Won the Project
Our appointment on this project reflected our ability to:
- Deliver adoptable pump station systems tailored to local authority and NAV standards
- Work closely with Persimmon’s in-house and consultant teams to ensure accurate, cost-effective design
- Offer full project lifecycle support, from technical liaison and approvals to commissioning
What We Delivered
From the outset, we focused on a smooth, collaborative process that aligned to the site’s schedule and Yorkshire Water’s requirements. The solution included:
- Dual-system design: foul and surface water management
- Expert engineering support to ensure timely approvals
- Coordination with site teams for installation, testing, and handover
Installation & Timeframe
- Design & Procurement: Winter 2024
- Mechanical Installation & Commissioning: Early 2025
- Outcome: Targeting full sign-off with minimal remedials and timely adoption
Challenges We Overcame
- Dual system complexity: Our team managed the simultaneous delivery of foul and surface water systems to avoid overlap and delays
- Adoption assurance: We built the design around Yorkshire Water's specific adoption criteria to ensure a smooth sign-off without costly rework
Our technical team worked hand-in-hand with the groundworks contractor to guide the installation process. By providing clear advice, practical solutions, and responsive support on site, we helped ensure the pumping station was installed efficiently and in line with specification. This partnership approach reduced the risk of delays and delivered a smooth path through to commissioning
