Construction of flood alleviation pumping infrastructure integrated with existing drainage systems

Client : Integrated Water Services Ltd

End User : The Environment Agency

Location : Warwickshire

Contract Value : £530,000

Project complexities, simplified by Alpha:

  1. Constructing pumping stations across both urban and rural environments, requiring adaptable construction approaches and careful logistics planning to suit differing site constraints.
  2. Implementing temporary earthwork support systems, enabling safe excavation and construction of reinforced concrete structures in varying ground conditions.
  3. Working around existing statutory services, requiring detailed planning and coordination to avoid disruption and ensure safe integration.
  4. Integrating new pumping infrastructure with existing gravity drainage systems, ensuring reliable operation during flood events and improved site resilience.

Scope of Works:

  • Construction of two reinforced concrete pumping station structures, located across both rural and urban environments to support flood alleviation.
  • Installation of collection chambers and weir structures, enabling controlled diversion of stormwater from the existing gravity sewer system during flood events.
  • Installation of uPVC inlet pipework and ductile iron outlet pipelines, ensuring efficient transfer of stormwater to the receiving system.
  • Construction of reinforced concrete outfall structures, providing controlled discharge and integration with the surrounding environment.
  • Construction of MCC foundations and kiosks, supporting power supply, pump control and instrumentation monitoring systems.
  • Installation of ducting and associated infrastructure, enabling integration of electrical and control systems.
  • Delivery of external works, completing the operational requirements of the pumping stations.
