It is easy to talk about improving the way we operate wastewater network pumping stations, but in reality delivering the improvement is a lot more difficult.

Networks consist of a large number of pumping stations and other equipment located over a large geographical area. In many cases we also rely on overloaded operators who work with a vast range of equipment types and applications. When we look at what is possible in terms of improvement with wastewater pumping stations, we can see that the potential for cost savings is very high. This is welcome news when we work in an environment that is under continuous pressure to reduce running costs and improve efficiency.

Room for improvement
Highlighting the cost saving opportunities is not difficult; delivering the saving is the challenge. At ABS we have years of experience in working with wastewater pumping stations. This experience has been put to use when we developed a range of solutions for the most efficient maintenance, operations and energy management of your pumping stations. ABS has also focused on the fact that it is not always possible, as a result of high workloads, to change the way networks are operated. Rather than relying solely on changing the skills and attitudes of the workforce, we have instead focused on the need for simple reliable solutions. Solutions that can be consistently repeated and give a lifetime of reliable operation in line with your business needs.

How does ABS provide you with a complete solution?
We begin by providing the most appropriate combinations of equipment based on your operational and maintenance requirements. The next step is the provision of high technology controllers and telemetry systems to ensure complete visibility of what is going on with your network. This is supported by a comprehensive service, spares & asset management programme to assist with operation and maintenance when required.

What is the end result? Effective, reliable operation of your waste water collection network throughout its design life.
