In any new housing development, time is money — and delays to drainage infrastructure can hold everything up.
Late design approvals. Missed SFA/DCG specs. Redesigns. Installation headaches. At Advantage Pumping Solutions, we’ve seen it all — and we know how to stop it from happening.
Here’s how expert pump station design keeps your project moving.
1. Early Design Engagement
Too often, drainage design is left late in the programme — and by the time plans reach the adopting authority, major revisions are needed.
We engage early, working with your consultants and civil engineers to design a system that’s compliant from day one. That means fewer iterations, faster approvals, and more predictable timelines.
2. DCG, SSG, and NAV Compliance Built In
Adoptable pump station design isn’t just about hydraulics — it’s about meeting the evolving technical standards of water authorities and NAVs.
Our team has decades of experience delivering systems to Sewers for Adoption (SFA) and Design and Construction Guidance (DCG) standards — along with SSG and site-specific NAV addendums. That means your system gets approved faster and with less friction.
3. Practical, Installable Design
Even a compliant system can cause delays if it’s impractical to install. Our in-house design team works closely with site teams to ensure our pump stations are delivered pre-tested, fit for purpose, and easy to install.
We consider access, chamber configuration, and commissioning readiness from the start — reducing on-site surprises and installation downtime.
4. Case in Point: Poppy Fields, Church Fenton
At the Poppy Fields development in West Yorkshire, we helped Bellway Homes install and commission an adoptable surface water pumping station to meet Yorkshire Water requirements — within tight site deadlines.
Working closely with the civil contractor, we condensed the time between installation and commissioning without compromising quality or specification. The result? A compliant, adoptable system delivered on time.
