Jun

Pumping Stations are designed to help transfer water/sewerage cost efficiently when gravity is in-sufficient.

Most pump stations will require a pump/s to transfer water.  Often combined with float switches for automatic engagement.  Pump Stations are being called up in many new build projects throughout Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra at a greater rate.

Pump Stations are also very popular in stormwater management.

The underground polyethylene tank will be sufficient for water management, sewerage, retention and harvesting for domestic, industrial and commercial application.

Pumping Stations can be single or dual pump.

Pump wells come in many sizes but the most common is the following:

2000 Litre

3000 Litre

5000 Litre

8000 Litre

10,000 Litre
