Effectively remove surface water from areas lacking drainage and prevent flooding with a stormwater pump station.

Extreme weather, such as a 25-year, 50-year, or 100-year rain event, seems to be affecting urban landscapes more frequently During these events,. heavy rainfall and flooding quickly overwhelm existing storm sewers and aging infrastructure that is undersized to effectively handle deluges. This results in backups, which exacerbate the flooding of urban developments, buildings and roads. Additionally, trash and other debris is picked up in storm events and ends up polluting natural waterways with a knock-on effect to wildlife and sensitive ecosystems. 

Rapid urban development and population growth places people in the crosshairs of violent weather patterns more frequently. Property damage, insurance claims and flooded roads are a frustrating reality for city dwellers, and careful consideration is required to upgrade failing infrastructure and undersized conveyance systems. 

In some applications, a solution to this challenge is a bespoke stormwater pump station designed to handle 25-year, 50-year and 100-year rain events. Our team has worked with engineers and construction clients to design and deliver purpose-built pump stations to handle such events.

Some applications that may require a stormwater pump station include: 

• Surface retention ponds
• Underground detention structures
• Bridge underpasses
• Rainwater harvesting tanks
