PUMPING STATIONS: REFURBISHMENTS & NEW BUILDS

CLIENT: VARIOUS
LOCATION: UK, NATIONWIDE
PROJECT TYPE: WATER & UTILITIES

With a 10 year extensive portfolio, Kemada have successfully undertaken pumping station refurbishments and new installations for many of the UK’s leading water authorities and private developers delivering solutions for many applications including standard, complexed and turnkey systems. Large or small, Kemada offer in house services and capability to carryout the full design and installation.

The Issue

Pumping stations are widely used throughout the UK for a variety of infrastructure systems, such as the supply of potable water to distribution, the drainage of low-lying land and surface water, fire protection systems and the removal of sewage to processing sites. There are countless thousands of pumping stations installed throughout the UK.

Our customers both in the Water & Utilities, MoD and Rail sectors continuously monitor the asset condition of their pumping stations and associated equipment to ensure reliability and prevent failure. Whilst pumping stations are generally very dependable, failure does occur especially over time when equipment becomes worn and beyond serviceable repair thus becoming unreliable and costly to the customer. At this stage the customer may look to fully or partly refurbish the asset using newer technologies which will provide better reliability and efficiencies as well as long term cost savings.

Newly constructed pumping stations are also an ongoing requirement, whether it is to replace an existing failing asset which is to be decommissioned, an upgrade in size or purely for new building / infrastructure works.

Under all circumstances the customer will look to appoint a reliable contractor with the knowledge and expertise to deliver a ‘one stop shop’ to meet their requirements.
