A: Lifting stations
Q: What are the disadvantages of the traditional gravitation system?
A: Many gravitation pipes with a small diameter have to be installed outside the building and the inspection wells are expensive
Q: What are the disadvantages of the traditional gravitation system?
A: Inspection wells are difficult to maintain and the initial cost of the pumping pit is high
Q: What are the disadvantages of the traditional gravitation system?
A: Many gravitation pipes have to be installed outside the building and a great deal of excavation work is needed.
Q: Of the three anti-flooding systems, why is the lifting station the superior system?
A: It is located outside the building which means bad odour is never a problem
Q: Of the three anti-flooding systems, why is the lifting station the superior system?
A: The storage volume is high and it is easy to assemble and install
Q: Of the three anti-flooding systems, why is the lifting station the superior system?
A: It is pre-assembled and its location inside the building makes it easily accessible for service. Furthermore, it offers maximum backflow and flooding protection

A: Lifting stations
Q: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
A: There are only a few gravitation pipes outside the building and the excavation cost is low
Q: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
A: The initial cost of the lifting station is lower compared with a pit and there are no gravitation pipes outside the building
Q: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
A: The lifting station and the pipe system is maintenance-free
Q: Who has the financial responsibility in the case of flooding in most countries?
A: The building owner and the building designers
Q: Who has the financial responsibility in the case of flooding in most countries?
A: The government and the wastewater authorities
Q: Who has the financial responsibility in the case of flooding in most countries?
A: The building designers and the contractors
Q: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
A: It has to go through an oil/petrol separator
Q: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
A: It has to go through a sand pressure
Q: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
A: None – it is pumped directly to the recipient
Q: Which three factors have increased the risk of flooding and back flow?
A: A higher frequency of rainfalls, increased length of rainfalls and more paved areas today than earlier.
Q: Which three factors have increased the risk of flooding and back flow?
A: A higher frequency of rainfalls, unmaintained sewers and an increase in paved areas
Q: Which three factors have increased the risk of flooding and back flow?
A: A higher frequency of rainfalls and buildings that are poorly equipped for increased amounts of water.
