Large housing development, in low-lying sites, requiring Foul Pumping Stations that complied with Uisce Éireann (UÉ) mandatory requirements, Campion constructed UÉ pump stations to serve a housing development of up to 3,250 homes.
The Glenveagh Properties project spanned many years and progressed in line with phase development and the residential occupancy. Campion took on the challenge to develop a smart foul network through the use of telemetry (Campion Connect) to maximise existing UÉ and new Campion-built infrastructure.
Working with Glenveagh Properties and a consulting engineer throughout, Campion’s in-house design team carried out septicity analysis, surge analysis, and hydraulic calculations. Campion then developed a design solution for submission to UÉ for quality assurance approval and a seamless connection application process.
Campion’s design team worked with UÉ and Fingal County Council to supply compliant infrastructure throughout the phase development. We also worked with the developer and guided them through the UÉ self-lay pump station process. This allowed us to highlight areas for special attention to avoid issues during construction.
Even today, Campion is running service and maintenance schedules during the developer-operated post-commissioning phase, with handover to UÉ scheduled for the future.
This Glenveagh Properties project progressed in three phases.
Phase 1 involved the development of first pump station. This was connected to a temporary discharge location during initial construction works.
In Phase 2, we built a pump station and connected it to the new discharge location. Phase 1 discharge was then redirected into the Phase 2 pump station.
Phase 3 was developed thereafter and discharged to the Phase 1 pump station.
Campion applied modern pump station construction and project management methodologies to provide a quick, bespoke, low carbon impact solution for Glenveagh Properties. We chose high-efficiency Flygt Concertor Pumps to help reduce associated OPEX expenditure. These particular pumps have:
Flygt Concertor Pumps deliver an 80% reduction in desludging and blockage callouts. We also utilised the off-site manufacture of precast concrete items and MEICA pre-installation works. This helped to reduce associated carbon emissions and project timelines.
Throughout this project, we utilised our extensive knowledge and experience in the pump industry, as well as our long-standing work with Uisce Éireann. We navigated the client through UÉ compliance requirements to ensure correct first-time application, design, construction, and commissioning.
For this project, we installed our Uisce Éireann-compliant telemetry system, Campion Connect. Doing so allowed us to monitor the complete pump station network for early detection and preemptive faults or issues. This, in turn, helped us to minimise OPEX and provide the best value to the client in turn.
Campion Connect enabled us to effectively manage storage throughout the network. The foul pump station network aligned with the development on-site to minimise risk to the developer and reduce capital outlay at the early stages of development.
From the initial consultation to the forthcoming Uisce Éireann handover, Campion delivered an end-to-end foul pumping package designed, constructed, and commissioned to UÉ standards. Campion completed the project on time and did not impact project schedules for the delivery of over 3,250 residential units.
We delivered a full service and maintenance program for the duration of the project, with 24/7 system monitoring provided by Campion Connect.
