Prestigious basement development – London

REQUIREMENT

We were asked to plan, specify and install a system of pumping stations to remove foul, storm and ground water separately from the basement of one of London’s largest residential excavations. The pumps would need to be capable of pumping over a 9m head due to the three storey excavation. We would be part of an integrated team of contractors working systematically through the different phases of the build programme.

METHOD

• Chose specialised pumps to perform to the high specification.
• A total of 23 pump stations were installed: 11 groundwater, 6 foul, 4 storm water and 2 lift pit pump stations.
• Vortex impellers were specified to reduce the risk of blocking.
• Worked in close coordination with the developer to install the pumps following each phase of the development.

RESULT

• Throughout the project we have built a close relationship with the client and his team.
• Highly reliable systems have been supplied with a long lifespan.
• All pump stations will report to the building management system for continuous and straightforward monitoring.
• Ongoing maintenance is important to ensure the reliability and longevity of the pumping stations.
• A comprehensive service agreement has been taken out with quarterly services agreed.
