Pipework Installation
Commissioning & Testing
A manufacturing facility in Wrexham required the installation of a new pump station to improve wastewater management and accommodate increased production demands.
As production capacity increased, the existing drainage infrastructure was no longer capable of handling wastewater efficiently. A new pumping system was required to ensure reliable operation while complying with the project’s engineering specifications and programme.
One of the key priorities was completing the installation safely while minimising disruption to ongoing construction works and the future operation of the facility.
Our Solution
Clear Drain Services worked alongside the principal contractor to install the new pump station in accordance with the approved design drawings and site specifications.
The project involved:
- Site risk assessments and health & safety planning
- Excavation and preparation of the installation area
- Formation of a stable base for the pump station
- Lifting and positioning the chamber using specialist lifting equipment
- Installation of inlet and outlet pipework
- Connection of electrical services
- Testing and commissioning of the complete pumping system
- Final inspections before handover
Throughout the project our engineers maintained close communication with the wider construction team, ensuring work progressed safely and efficiently.
Challenges Involved
Every pump station installation presents unique engineering challenges.
For this project these included:
- Coordinating lifting operations safely
- Achieving accurate levels for incoming and outgoing pipework
- Ensuring the chamber was installed precisely to the design specification
- Completing testing and commissioning within the construction programme
Careful planning and experienced installation enabled the work to be completed without delays.
The Result
The pump station was installed successfully, commissioned on schedule and handed over ready for operation.
The completed system now provides reliable wastewater management capable of supporting the manufacturing facility’s increased production requirements.
The project was delivered:
✔ Safely
✔ On programme
✔ Fully tested and commissioned
✔ With minimal disruption to surrounding works
A pump station is used to move wastewater from lower ground to a higher drainage network when gravity drainage isn’t possible. They’re commonly installed on commercial developments, industrial sites and new housing projects where natural drainage levels are insufficient.
The new manufacturing facility required additional wastewater capacity to support increased production. Installing a new pump station ensured wastewater could be transported efficiently while providing a reliable long-term drainage solution.
Every project is different and depends on the size of the pump station, ground conditions and the complexity of the pipework. Following a site assessment, we can provide a programme of works and expected completion times.
