Reinforcing Reliability: HM Prison Upgrades Sewage Pumps for Optimal Performance
The Challenge
We notified our existing customer, a Category C resettlement prison in the London area, through our regular service and maintenance that their sewage system was ageing and in need of an upgrade. The pumps in the main sewage pump station were beginning to fail due to misuse and years of heavy service. Inspections revealed bed sheets, non-flushable wipes, clothing, and small solid items in the pit, highlighting the need for a more robust solution.
The Solution
To address this, Dura Pump specialist engineers installed a triple submersible pump system using three new Landia DG-I/105 11kW grinders. These submersible cutter pumps are ideal for handling heavy industrial waste and oversized materials. They are known for their reliability and are particularly effective in situations with heavy fibrous content in the waste.
The Outcome
After a thoroughly cleaned pump station, and the new pumps in place, the system is now operating at optimal performance. Our engineers visit annually with a tanker to ensure the pump station continues to function efficiently.
