Lifting stations
3: Which three factors have increased the risk of flooding and back flow?
A higher frequency of rainfalls, increased length of rainfalls and more paved areas today than earlier.
3: Which three factors have increased the risk of flooding and back flow?
A higher frequency of rainfalls, unmaintained sewers and an increase in paved areas
3: Which three factors have increased the risk of flooding and back flow?
A higher frequency of rainfalls and buildings that are poorly equipped for increased amounts of water.
4: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
There are only a few gravitation pipes outside the building and the excavation cost is low
4: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
The initial cost of the lifting station is lower compared with a pit and there are no gravitation pipes outside the building
4: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
The lifting station and the pipe system is maintenance-free
5: What are the four most common types of wastewater from commercial buildings?
Wastewater, storm water, drainage water and wastewater from parking areas
5: What are the four most common types of wastewater from commercial buildings?
Rainwater, wastewater, storm water and drainage water
5: What are the four most common types of wastewater from commercial buildings?
Wastewater, storm water, air-conditioning wastewater and wastewater from parking areas
6: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
It has to go through an oil/petrol separator
6: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
It has to go through a sand pressure
6: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
None – it is pumped directly to the recipient
7: What are the disadvantages of the traditional gravitation system?
Many gravitation pipes with a small diameter have to be installed outside the building and the inspection wells are expensive
7: What are the disadvantages of the traditional gravitation system?
Inspection wells are difficult to maintain and the initial cost of the pumping pit is high
7: What are the disadvantages of the traditional gravitation system?
Many gravitation pipes have to be installed outside the building and a great deal of excavation work is needed.
