Q: Why is a lifting station an optimal solution for basement refurbishments?
A: A lifting station is flexible, easy to service, cost effective, provides protection against flooding and is odour free. It can also be connected to the existing drainage pipe easily.
Q: Why is a lifting station an optimal solution for basement refurbishments?
A: A lifting station is a versatile solution that can handle both black and grey wastewater, drainage water and surface water.
Q: Why is a lifting station an optimal solution for basement refurbishments?
A: The built-in frequency converter makes the lifting station very flexible for fluctuations in the discharge profile of the sanitary appliances.
Q: When is it ideal to use a lifting station as a pressurised system for wastewater removal in commercial buildings?
A: When sanitary appliances are installed in the basement of an existing building, when space outside the building is limited or when excavation conditions are difficult.
Q: When is it ideal to use a lifting station as a pressurised system for wastewater removal in commercial buildings?
A: When there is a need to remove black and grey wastewater, drainage water and surface water.
Q: When is it ideal to use a lifting station as a pressurised system for wastewater removal in commercial buildings?
A: When storage of wastewater volumes is required over a longer period of time.
Q: Why can it be a challenge to install a pumping pit outside a building when removing grey or black wastewater from below sewage level?
A: The weight and the shape of the pumping pit depend on the soil conditions, saturation of the soil and the local regulations. This makes planning difficult.
Q: Why can it be a challenge to install a pumping pit outside a building when removing grey or black wastewater from below sewage level?
A: The pumps in an outside pumping pit cannot be controlled from a Building Management System.
Q: Why can it be a challenge to install a pumping pit outside a building when removing grey or black wastewater from below sewage level?
A: A pumping pit installation calls for longer planning and installation time, more excavation time and higher excavation costs, as well as a higher initial investment.
Q: How can you tell if you need to establish a drainage system as part of your building project?
A: If the building next door does not have a drainage system, your building does not need one either.
Q: How can you tell if you need to establish a drainage system as part of your building project?
A: When the projected area of a building exceeds 2.000 m2 a drainage system is required.
Q: How can you tell if you need to establish a drainage system as part of your building project?
A: By conducting a thorough pre-investigation of the conditions of the soil, the groundwater conditions, and the drainage situation on neighbouring lots.
Q: Would you recommend drainage around a building if there was soil of permeability and the groundwater level was above drainage level?
A: No
Q: Would you recommend drainage around a building if there was soil of permeability and the groundwater level was above drainage level?
A: Yes
Q: Would you recommend drainage around a building if there was soil of permeability and the groundwater level was above drainage level?
A: Could be necessary if the groundwater level is expected to rise
