Packaged Fibreglass Pump Stations

GPS Environmental packaged fibreglass pump stations and emergency storage systems deliver complete, heavy-duty wastewater and stormwater management solutions tailored to commercial, industrial, and civil infrastructure projects.

Manufactured with seamless, one-piece Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) construction, these turnkey systems arrive on-site pre-fitted and ready for rapid installation, significantly reducing civil excavation open times and on-site labour costs.

Each system integrates an engineered vertical wet well with an interconnected horizontal or vertical emergency storage vessel. Designed to comply with municipal and water authority detention standards, the secondary storage chamber buffers peak wet-weather inflows or contains effluent during scheduled maintenance or unexpected power outages.

• Heavy-Duty One-Piece GRP Construction: Filament-wound or molded fibreglass vessels deliver structural rigidity, zero joint leakage, and superior resistance to corrosive sewer gases ($H_2S$) and aggressive industrial trade wastes.

• Guide Rail-Mounted Submersible Pumps: Wet-well installations feature robust dual (duty/standby) or triplex pump assemblies mounted on heavy-duty guide rails with auto-coupling pedestals, allowing pump extraction and servicing without entering the confined space.

• Integrated Valve Chamber & Manifolding: Pre-plumbed internal pipework, non-return valves, and isolation gate valves provide streamlined flow control and easy access for commissioning and maintenance.

• Above-Ground Control Architecture: Weatherproof, lockable outdoor control cubicles (powder-coated aluminium or 316 stainless steel) house automated PLC controls, soft starters/VFDs, audio-visual alarms, and optional SCADA/telemetry integration.

• Access & Infill Castings: Engineered to support reinforced cast-in concrete cover slabs fitted with gas-tight, load-rated ductile iron or aluminium access hatches (Class B through Class D load ratings).

High groundwater levels exert substantial hydrostatic uplift pressures on buried composite vessels.

Important Specification Notice:

When specifying your pump station, notify GPS Environmental engineering if the installation site features water-charged ground or tidal influence.

High water tables require specific vessel engineering alterations, including:

• Upgraded exterior wall thickness and localized ribbed reinforcement.

• Enlarged anti-flotation ballast rings and bottom flange designs.

• Site-specific concrete ballast anchoring calculations to counteract buoyancy and prevent tank shift.

• Civil Subdivisions & Urban Developments: Sewer lift stations and emergency overflow storage for gravity sewer catchments.

• Commercial & Industrial Sites: Trade waste handling, shopping centre drainage, and factory wastewater discharge.

• Mining & Remote Infrastructure: Self-contained, low-maintenance lift stations built to handle demanding environmental conditions.

• Caravan Parks & Marine Environments: Coastal sites requiring high salt and groundwater corrosion resistance.

• Stormwater Retention & Re-use: Detention buffering and high-volume stormwater pump-out applications.
