Sewage pump installation

Correct installation is important for pump reliability, safe operation and future maintenance. We support the installation of sewage pumps, wastewater pumps, grinder pumps and pump station equipment.

Controls, floats and commissioning

Installation works can include setting float levels, checking rotation, testing control panels, confirming alarm operation, reviewing valves and discharge pipework, and commissioning the pump under working conditions.

New systems and replacement projects

We can assist with new pump installations, like-for-like pump replacements, upgraded sewage pumps and pump station refurbishment where existing equipment is unreliable or no longer suitable.
