Pipex Pumping Stations
Fabricated in corrosion resistant thermoplastics or GRP reinforced thermoplastic materials. Suitable for sewage, foul water, potable water, surface water, corrosive trade effluent waste & chemical pumping.
- Guaranteed build quality.
- Fast-track site construction.
- Reduced build & maintenance CAPEX costs.
- Smooth, self cleansing & hygienic materials of build minimise the risk of leaks, blockages, biological deposits & build up of fats, oils and greases (FOG).
- Meets CDM Health & Safety requirements reducing confined space entry during construction & in-service.
- Water tables & aquifers protected by fully welded & fully sealed chambers.
- Environmentally friendly low energy use manufacturing & low carbon content materials.
Pipex Pumping Stations offer significant advantages compared to pre-cast concrete or performed GRP including:
| Corrosion Resistant | Constructed from reinforced & highly corrosion resistant PP-H polypropylene and HDPE polyethylene thermoplastic materials. |
|---|---|
| Bespoke Manufacture | Project specific manufacture. Bespoke build options include integral internal baffle walls, valve chambers, shuttering, cover form works, access platforms & GRP covers as required. Chambers supplied with or without pump sets. |
| Fast Track Installation | Delivered as a complete one-piece chamber for immediate installation or in part sections for modular site assembly to overcome transport, access or space restrictions. |
| Cost Effective | Extended design life compared to other GRP glass reinforced polyester products i.e. Will not delaminate or absorb groundwater. Extended design life compared to other PCC pre-cast concrete products i.e. Will not degrade due to acid or sulphate attack such as concrete cancer. |
| High Strength | Excellent impact and abrasion resistance from materials dense molecular structure. Designed to withstand hydraulic external groundwater pressures and structural loads from traffic when installed to Pipex work instructions. |
| Bespoke Pumps | Supplied with internal pipe work, guide rails, pumps, pedestals, mixers, agitators, alarms & level control devices as required. Innovative Pipex internal conical base cone design creates vortex to pumps to minimize retention of solids. |
| Temperature | Material options for high temperature effluent discharge to 100ºC+. |
| Environmental | Dual contained chambers available for additional environmental protection & bio-security i.e. SAPO Category 4 rated systems. |
| Pumping Station Product | Chamber sizes available for larger non-standard sizes and project specific configurations. Dual function foul pumping & attenuation chambers to accommodate Building Regulations H1 section 2.39 for 24 hours storage. |
| Approvals | WRc approved to sewers for Adoption requirements. |
