In countries with canal systems, pumping stations are also frequent. Because of the way the system of canal locks work, water is lost from the upper part of a canal each time a vessel passes through. Also, most lock gates are not watertight, so some water leaks from the higher levels of the canal to those lower down. Obviously, the water has to be replaced or eventually the upper levels of the canal would not hold enough water to be navigable.

Canals are usually fed by diverting water from streams and rivers into the upper parts of the canal, but if no suitable source is available, a pumping station can be used to maintain the water level. An excellent example of a canal pumping station is the Claverton Pumping Station on the Kennet and Avon Canal in southern England, United Kingdom. This pumps water from the nearby River Avon to the canal using pumps driven by a waterwheel which is powered by the river.

Where no external water supply is available, back pumping systems may be employed. Water is extracted from the canal below the lowest lock of a flight and is pumped back to the top of the flight, ready for the next boat to pass through. Such installations are usually small.

Pumping stations are facilities including pumps and equipment for pumping fluids from one place to another. They are used for a variety of infrastructure systems, such as the supply of water to canals, the drainage of low-lying land, and the removal of sewage to processing sites.

What is a Pump Station? A pump station also know as a packaged pumping station or pumped system, is an intermediate storage / collecting chamber incorporating pumpsets which transfer either the foul or surface water to a local drain, manhole, or sewer. A pump station is used where a normal gravity system cannot be, either because there is insufficient gravity fall over a distance (1:40 minimum is recommended) or the common collecting point is lower than the sewer. Examples of applications using a pump station: Foul/Sewage water pump stations Basement, Utility Room, En-Suite, Extension or Single Property Domestic Development Maximum Four Properties Small Housing Development, Campsites Junior School, Small Industrial Estate, Restaurant or Hotel Secondary School, Collage, Hospital, Large Industrial Estate Surface water pump stations Drive Way, Patio, Small Car Park or Pool Back Wash Wash Down Area, Large Car Park or Groundwater Roof Run Off, Food Prep Wash Down or Attenuation A pump station can be various forms or configurations either: Wet well Pumpstation – underground storage chamber accessible via manhole cover incorporating submersible pump(s) Dry well Pumpstation – A stand-alone storage tank which sits on a concrete base with pumpset(s) located adjacent to the tank Generally pump stations have one or two pumps operating on: Duty only, Duty and standby basis (standby pump is a backup in the event of duty pump failing), Duty and assist basis (each pump is sized for50% of the estimated flow rate required). In all cases the pump(s) are controlled via the water level in the tank using more commonly float switches or ultrasonic level control. The storage tank or pump chamber is sized to suit the following criteria: Provide a buffer to meet the estimated daily inflow i.e24 hour foul storage to meet Building Regulations or expected rainfall from serving area. Of sufficient depth to meet item1, preferably below required invert level (inlet pipe to PS) Minimise stop / starts of pumpset(s) over a24 hour period. Pump(s) will be selected to suit the following criteria: Heavy duty or light duty construction depending of application i.e single domestic use, housing estate, commercial hotel or school etc. Solids handling capacity to suit size of foul / sewage application – Generally the larger the better i.e50mm,60mm,75mm,100mm soft solids handling, to minimise risk of blockages within pump casing. Flow rate - depending on size of application, water authority consent to pump to their drain / sewer, if a requirement. Estimated pump head – normally in ‘metres head’ – calculated from a combination of static head (invert level to sewer invert) and frictional head or losses in discharge pipework from pumpset(s). Power supply available,230v1ph or415v3ph.

Pumping Station is a centralized station where fluid which is normally water in MEP systems, is pumped to the facilities from one central station. This is the modern system which makes overall system more efficient.
