ADDITIONS AND AMENDMENTS TO

SEWERS FOR ADOPTION 5TH EDITION

STATEMENT

1. Wessex Water Services Ltd will normally be prepared to consider the eventual adoption
of such sewers provided they meet the requirements of Wessex Water with regard to the
purpose for which they are to be used, their position and the standards of construction
achieved. This is normally via a formal Section 104 agreement.

2. Entering into a formal agreement under Section 104 gives technical approval to the
proposals and provides for the inspection and testing of the completed works by Wessex
Water to ensure that the works have been constructed in accordance with the agreement.

3. Developers should note that the inspection by Wessex Water should not in any way be
regarded as a substitution for/or part of the supervision to be undertaken by the
Developer or his Contractor.

4. This document covers additions and amendments to Sewers for Adoption 5th Edition
and should be used by Developers when considering the design and construction of
sewers and pumping stations for adoption by Wessex Water under Sections 102 and 104
of the Water Industry Act 1991.

5. Where a conflict arises between Sewers for Adoption 5th Edition and these additions
and amendments, these additions and amendments shall take precedence.

6. A copy of Sewers for Adoption 5th Edition can be obtained from the WRc plc,

POLICY AND PROCEDURE

FOR

ADOPTION OF SEWERS

Page 5 of 40
SECTION 1 - LEGAL

1.1 The statutory provisions governing the adoption of sewerage systems are contained in
the Water Industry Act 1991:-

• Section 102 for existing sewerage systems

• Section 104 for new sewerage systems via a formal agreement

1.2 Formal agreements are prepared by Wessex Water’s Solicitor.

1.3 Whilst Wessex Water will comply with a proper request for adoption under Section 102,
there is a clear preference for the use of the procedure outlined in Section 104.

1.4 All details must be submitted before the agreement can be prepared. The agreement
should be prepared and signed before works commence on site.

SECTION 2 - CRITERIA FOR ADOPTION UNDER SECTION 104

2.1 The hydraulic and construction design of the sewers offered for adoption shall be in
accordance with the current edition of Sewers for Adoption published by the WRc plc as
amended by Wessex Water.

2.2 Where the sewerage system to be adopted includes a pumping station it should be
designed in accordance with the guidelines produced by MWH Wessex. (See Section II
– Developers Guide to New Sewage Pumping Stations and Rising Mains.)

2.3 Wessex Water will consider sewers for adoption where they are located in the forecourts of
communal parking or garaging areas. Sewers which are not located in adoptable highways
must have a clear access easement which will normally be a minimum of 3 metres in width
on each side of the sewer. However wider easements may be required on sewers greater
than 600 mm nominal bore, or sewers deeper than 4 metres.

2.4 Manholes shall be carefully positioned such that, in the event of the sewer surcharging,
sewage shall not take an overland route through private property.

SECTION 3 - ADOPTION OF EXISTING SEWERS UNDER SECTION 102

3.1 Any Developer’s sewer constructed post 1974 offered for adoption under Section 102
must meet the criteria for adoption under Section 104.

SECTION 4 – WESSEX WATER AMENDMENTS TO SEWERS FOR ADOPTION 5TH

EDITION

4.1 Additional Requirements

4.1.1 Calculations for hydraulic design are to be submitted with the drawings of the proposals. In
all cases a drawing showing the areas of land draining to particular points within the system
shall be supplied, to allow checking of the calculations.

Page 6 of 40
4.1.2 If it is proposed to incorporate pumping stations within the submission, prior
consultation and agreement with regard to the location, access and equipment details
must take place. To be acceptable pumping stations must be the most "economic" way
of long term sewage disposal from the site to the existing public sewerage system. It
should be noted that provision, installation and commissioning of full telemetry to
Wessex Water standard system as operated in the vicinity of the site will be required.
Full guidance on Wessex Water requirements for Pumping Stations and Rising Mains is
given in PART II of Additions and Amendments to Sewers for Adoption 5th Edition.

4.1.3 Lateral connections to adoptable sewers should, where possible, be made to manholes.
Where this is not practical and a connection is to be made directly to the pipe, a preformed,
swept junction must be used. Saddle connections will not normally be permitted except on
pipes larger than 600mm nominal bore. Where a new junction pipe or saddle is added after
the main pipe has been inspected and back filled, a further charge will be made to inspect
the connection.

4.1.4 Pipelines taking existing land drainage run off or flows from water courses cannot be
considered for adoption as public sewers.

4.1.5 Concrete surround for pipelines is not our preferred method of protection. A granular bed
and concrete slab as Wessex Water Standard Drawing STD/220 is preferred.

4.1.6 For larger diameters the protection afforded to shallow pipelines is to be justified by
calculation. Otherwise the guidance given in the “Simplified Tables of External Loads on
Buried Pipelines” can be followed.

4.1.7 The covers fitted to type A & B manholes shall have a 675 x 675 mm minimum clear
opening.

4.1.8 The Developer is responsible for informing Wessex Water when pipelaying works are to
commence. The name and address of any sub-contractor to be employed should be
provided.

4.1.9 Any alteration to the Works shall be referred to Wessex Water for approval.

4.2 Connecting to the Public Sewerage System

4.2.1 Foul Sewers proposed for adoption must connect to a public sewer, or another sewer which
is already the subject of a Section 104 Agreement and into which the Developer has a
contractual right of discharge.

4.2.2 A copy of any discharge consent application must be sent to Wessex Water for
comment/approval prior to submission to the relevant authority (e.g. Environment Agency).
Any draft consent for comment issued by the relevant authority must also be submitted for
comment/approval to Wessex Water.

4.2.3 Surface water sewers may connect to:-

• a main river for which any work within the channel (e.g. the outfall structure) has
received the approval of the Environment Agency (EA), subject to obtaining
permission to discharge from the riparian owner(s).

• a non-main watercourse for which the approval of the Local Authority in its capacity as

Page 7 of 40
 a Land Drainage Authority has been received, subject to obtaining permission to
discharge from the riparian owner(s).
• a surface water detention pond which is approved by the EA or the Land Drainage
Authority and for which an acceptable written agreement for ownership, discharge
rights and future maintenance with the Local Authority has been received.

Where appropriate adequate petrol/oil separation must be provided in the private

contributing system. Written evidence that approval of the discharge has been obtained
from the relevant authority must be provided. This will normally be the original consent to
the outfall location.

4.2.4 When making a connection to a public sewer, the Developer shall insure that the
requirements of Wessex Water’s Confined Spaces Policy – HSPOL22 are met. The
inspector will not permit the connections if he believes the requirements are not being met.

4.3 Drawings

4.3.1 Prior to submitting a completed Section 104 application, it is recommended that one
complete set of drawings and supporting calculations be submitted so that any
modifications deemed necessary for technical approval can be made before printing the
several copies required for the formal agreement.

4.3.2 Developers shall use Wessex Water Standard Drawings wherever possible. Reference to
individual Standard Drawings shall be made on Developers’ drawings. There will not be a
need to reproduce the Wessex Water Standard Drawings.

4.3.3 The site location plan shall have the development site boundary outlined in red and the SW
corner six figure grid reference of the development site shown in the title block.

4.3.4 Site plans shall show:-

• position of proposed private sewer and drain connection points.

• the ownership boundary of the Developer, outlined in green.

• sewer easement areas where necessary, extending 3 metres either side from the outer
surface of the sewers, but initially uncoloured.

• position of any existing public sewers outlined in brown.

• housing layout with private drainage.

4.4 Fees

4.4.1 A fee based on a time charge will be made for vetting the proposals for technical approval
if the initial submission is not to an acceptable standard.

4.4.2 Any additional costs incurred by Wessex Water will be invoiced separately.

4.4.3 In most cases a fixed fee is payable for the legal costs in preparing the Section 104
Agreement. The legal fee for the formation of the Section 104 agreement will be invoiced
by Wessex Water Legal Section.
4.4.4 The agreement should be prepared, signed and dated before the works commence on site.

Page 8 of 40
4.4.5 The Developer will need to make an allowance of £5,000 for the provisional installation
and commissioning of the Wessex Water telemetry system. Where the Developer provides
the telemetry outstation Wessex Water will undertake the linking of the new outstation to
the Wessex Water system on a rechargeable basis during the maintenance period.

4.5 CCTV

4.5.1 The sewers must be scoured using high pressure water jetting at the Developer’s expense
before the CCTV inspection is undertaken. If a resurvey of the sewers is found to be
necessary because of defects revealed by the initial CCTV inspection, this will be
undertaken by Wessex Water when the repairs are notified as having been completed and
costs will be recharged to the Developer. Similarly any subsequent cost of resurvey
necessary due to abandonment or an unacceptable level of precleansing having been carried
out by the Developer making structural assessment difficult, will be recharged.

4.6 Structured Wall Thermoplastic Pipes

4.6.1 Wessex Water will consider for adoption structured wall thermoplastic pipes subject to the
following conditions:-

• Comply with WIS 4-35-01 Thermoplastics Structured Wall Pipes, 150 – 900 dia.

• Maximum length of pipe for laying to be 3 metres.

• Pipe Nominal Short Term Ring Stiffness Class 8 kNm-2 to be used. (Long term, 2
years = 4; 50 years = 3)

• Long term Deformation to be less than 6% of the vertical nominal pipe diameter (as
calculated using the Spangler ‘Iowa’ equation)

• Minimum factor of safety against buckling to be 2.5 (using the Timoshenko Buckling
equation).

• Post-construction connections to be formed with factory made junctions.

• All pipes to be transported, handled, stored and laid in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations.

• All pipelines shall be surveyed by CCTV immediately prior to Adoption request.

Pipeline lengths with a noted deformation of 6% or higher will be rejected.

4.7 Health and Safety

4.7.1 Sewers and pumping stations are confined spaces.

4.7.2 The Developer shall have a confined space policy for working on sewers being offered for
adoption, and shall ensure all workers comply with that policy during construction of the
sewer.

4.7.3 Once the sewers become live, the Developer and those entering manholes and sewers
serving the development must comply with Wessex Water’s Health and Safety Policy
Confined Space Policy (HSPOL22).

Page 9 of 40
4.7.4 The Applicant, Developer or his agent shall take all practicable steps to ensure the safety of
Wessex Water staff or their agents during visits to the site and in particular during confined
space entry, and notify them of any unusual safety risks.

4.7.5 The Developer or his agent must make sure that all safety equipment is on site and used
during inspections which involve confined space entry (failure to do so will result in the
inspection being terminated, which will result in abortive visit costs).

4.7.6 WESSEX WATER WILL BE OBLIGED TO REPORT BREACHES OF HEALTH

AND SAFETY TO THE HEALTH & SAFETY EXECUTIVE.

DEVELOPERS GUIDE TO NEW

SEWAGE PUMPING STATIONS

AND RISING MAINS

Page 11 of 40
SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

This guide and associated document and drawings detail the standards required by
Wessex Water for adoption of pumping stations and rising mains. They are in
accordance with Sewers for Adoption 5th Edition and are amendments to supplement
this publication.

Any proposed variations on these standards will need to be agreed with Wessex Water at
the design and submission stage and prior to construction.

1.2 Conditions for adoption within an agreement under Section 104 of the Water
Industry Act 1991

1.2.1 Developers are to provide a general layout drawing, proposed pump manufacturer,
performance curves, rising main details and confirmation that the design will proceed in
accordance with this guide.

1.2.2 For populations of five hundred and above, Wessex Water may require a dual power
supply to the pumping station to be confirmed by the Local Development Engineer.

1.2.3 Full details to be provided and agreed of land area to be conveyed to Wessex Water
showing site boundaries and potential ownership, fencing, site access, parking facilities
and finished surfacing.

1.2.4 Wessex Water require the provision of storage rather than an overflow.

1.2.5 After installation has been completed and prior to entry into the maintenance period,
three complete Pumping Station Manuals comprising sets of “as constructed” drawings,
parts lists, equipment manuals, comprehensive sets of Operating and Maintenance
instructions and circuit diagrams shall be provided. (All drawings should carry the
signature of a competent Engineer.)

1.2.6 Prior to taking over the pumping station, the Developer shall supply the information
identified in Appendix 1.

1.2.7 Calculations are required for:-

a) dry weather flows

b) storage capacity
c) capacity of rising main
d) static and friction head
e) velocity within main
f) material and class of main
g) surge effects within main
h) bedding of main
i) sizing of all anchor blocks and thrust blocks required
j) stability of chambers to prevent possible flotation/sinkage

This information should also be detailed in the Pumping Station Manuals to be provided
at handover.

Page 12 of 40
1.2.8 Developers must provide confirmation of planning permission being granted for the
station installation, which includes any above ground plant.

1.2.9 Developers shall provide:-

• Original certificates of the IEE Site Electrical Installation tests and lifting davit,
socket and pump lifting chains tests

• A set of control panel certificates of conformity.

These must be current and renewed at adoption as necessary.

1.2.10 Easements will be required where private land is to be crossed to obtain access by foot
or vehicle. BT and the relevant electricity and water suppliers service routes are also to
be covered by the easements.

1.3 Year 2000 Compliance

1.3.1 All standard equipment listed in Appendix 4 has been checked for Year 2000
Conformity with neither performance or functionality being affected prior to, during or
after the year 2000. ANY deviation in component selection must be certified and agreed
so as to ensure, in particular:-

Rule 1 No value for current date will cause any interruption in operation.

Rule 2 Date-based functionality must behave consistently for dates prior to,
during and after year 2000.

Rule 3 In all interfaces and data storage, the century in any date must be
specified either explicitly or by unambiguous algorithms or inferencing
rules.

Rule 4 Year 2000 must be recognised as a leap year.

1.4 Power Supply and Metering

1.4.1 The Developer shall ensure that power supply is on a Day / Night metering (economy 7)
tariff for any sewage pumping station offered for adoption.

1.4.2 During the Maintenance Period, the Developer shall supply the following information to
Wessex Water:

• Current owner of pumping station and address

• Current operating sub contractor and address
• Date of Supply Provision
• Electricity Supplier
• Electricity Supplier Site Reference
• Electricity Distribution Company
• Electricity Distribution Company Site Reference
• Size of Supply (KVA)
• Annual Consumption (KWh)
• Billing Cycle: Monthly/Quarterly
• Half Hourly Metering: Fitted / Not fitted
Page 13 of 40
 • Meter Reading Company
• Meter Number
• Anticipated date of transfer
• Details of current tariff or contract

1.43 On completion of the Maintenance Period the Developer shall write to the power
supplier with a copy to Wessex Water, advising of site and supply transfer. Formal
vesting of the pumping station will not be carried out until the supply has been
transferred.
If Wessex Water wish to change supplier, they will contact the new supplier in writing
and advise them of the date from which the new supply terms would apply to the
adopted supply. If the supply is to remain with the original supplier, Wessex Water will
confirm in writing to the existing supplier no later than one week before the hand-over
date. The Developer shall take meter readings within 5 days of the hand-over date and
advise their original supplier and Wessex Water in writing.

1.5 Inspection by Wessex Water’s Term Contractor

1.5.1 At vesting the Developers Maintenance Engineer will also meet with Wessex Water’s
own Term Contractors for the maintenance of ‘pumping stations’. Any maintenance work or
modifications required to be carried out prior to adoption shall be at the Developer’s cost. The
wet well shall also be in a clean condition prior to adoption.

Page 14 of 40
SECTION 2 – PUMPING STATIONS

2.1 Pump Configuration

The preferred arrangement for pumping stations is to use twin submersible pumps
complete with flushing valves, mounted on guide rails capable of accepting Flygt pumps
within the wet well, as shown on the Wessex Water Standard Drawings. Each pump
shall have a design flow equal to the peak incoming flow.

2.2 Wet Well Design

Wherever an emergency overflow is proposed, Wessex Water must be consulted on the

terms and conditions of the Consent to Discharge from the Environment Agency,
before application is made.

Any storage must be provided within the wet well and/or in adjacent storage chamber(s)
above the high level alarm and shall not include any private lateral below the lowest
level.

It is preferred that the wet well diameter is not increased below the emergency stop level
to form the storage provision which should be provided in specifically designed adjacent
structures. These should be designed to be self cleansing.

Sump design and level settings should give a floor profile and capacity that reduces grit
deposition and limits pump starts to no greater than ten per hour. Flat floor areas must
be kept to a minimum.

Where the foul sewage flow is likely to be well below the ultimate design flow, septicity
may occur, especially in long rising mains. It is important to avoid this by careful sump
design and/or by provision of chemical dosing facilities. Such facilities shall be
approved by Wessex Water at the design stage.

Where the combined retention time of sewage (at DWF) in the Rising Main and Wet
Well is greater than six hours Wessex Water will advise on the requirements for
chemical dosing to avoid septicity and odour problems. (See Section 4.)

Sump design using the Flygt “TOPS” package is acceptable as detailed in their
Document No.: TOP/BW/5k/897.

A notice similar to that shown in Standard Drawings (Appendix 2) shall be suitably

positioned in the valve chamber to advise any personnel operating the over pumping
points of the main pressurisation.

It should be noted that the design shown on the Wessex Water Standard Drawings does
not allow for vehicular loading, to the wet well or valve chamber, during construction or
on completion.

Design sizing shall also take account of access to the pipework arrangement, the use of
swept bends and pump accommodation and removal.

Two coats of Corroless EPF & R35 epoxy coating or equivalent to the wet well, 150 mm
above the top start level.

Page 15 of 40
 The wet well sump and valve chamber must be protected either by removable heavy-
duty galvanised locking bars or concealed “hasp and staple” type design in cover
secured by Abloy padlocks (refer to detail).

2.3 Pump Specification

The submersible pumps shall be capable of passing raw sewage from the wet well,
whilst satisfying the following criteria:-

a) Impeller design and motor selection should be such that the unit is of the
non-overloading type.

b) Impellers must be keyed to the drive shaft or fixed by other approved

methods.

c) Pumps shall be capable of operation under the full range of sump level
conditions.

d) Pumps shall be mounted using the Flygt guide rail arrangement shown on
the Wessex Water Standard Drawings.

Wessex Water has a framework agreement for the supply of submersible pumps from
ITT Flygt Ltd, Nottingham. As such these are the preferred pump types.

The supply of alternative pumps, meeting the above specification is acceptable provided
they are supplied with two years’ maintenance spares in accordance with Sewers for
Adoption 5 and the manufacturer’s recommendations. The two years’ spares are
required at the date of vesting, if the station has been operational longer than two years
at this date.

2.4 Pump Ancillaries

The submersible pumps shall be supplied complete with guide rails and automatic
discharge connections suitable for Flygt pumps, flushing valve, lifting chains, hoop and
hooks. The pumping station shall have a full service and lifting chains which shall be
replaced and certificated at the time of vesting.

The davit socket shall be suitable for use with Reid, Cranco or Didsbury type davits.
The SWL shall be indelibly marked on these.

All component parts shall be of corrosion resistant materials so that they will not be
affected by the sewage or conditions under which pumping takes place. This includes
for float support brackets which should be of stainless steel.

Level control shall be by means of a “Hydor” Pressure Bell system with the following
float switches:

• Controller failed/emergency control to provide back up

• Wet well high level alarm
• Overflow level alarm (where a consented overflow is provided)

Page 16 of 40
2.5 Pumping Station Panel

The control philosophy is described in the standard WW software in conjunction with

the standard drawings for the control panel.

In addition, the Developer shall comply with the standard drawings and specifications
stated in Section 2.9 of this guide.

The control panel and kiosk shall consist of main sections and be of a general layout as
described on the Wessex Water Standard Drawings. The measurements, colours and all
the electrical components shown on the Wessex Water Standard Drawings do NOT
include the items referred to in Section 2.9 of this guide and so the Developer shall
ensure that their design and drawings include for Section 2.9 of this guide.

In keeping with the Wessex Water Standard Spares Policy the preferred manufacturers
of control components shall be in accordance with Appendix 4 Standard Electrical
Components List of this guide. Refer to Section 6.2 regarding certificates and
compliance with WHIMES.

If the required pump size is 7.5 kW or greater, then the panel should be constructed in
accordance with the Star/Delta starter drawings or other proposed method of starting
referred to in Section 2.9 of this guide.

Copies of the standard software and Functional Design Specification are available on
request (minimum three weeks notice for delivery) from the Principal Engineer for the
Automation Team, Wessex Water Engineering Services, Operations Centre, Claverton
Down, Bath BA2 7WW.

A paper copy of the complete software shall be included within each Site Manual,
together with one disc copy handed to the Development Engineers Representative.

Wessex Water cannot undertake software modifications for any site specific control
variations.

Details of the programme settings used must be clearly displayed adjacent to the unit in
case of system failure.

All terminal blocks should have adequate shrouding as referred to in Section 2.9 of this
guide.

2.6 Telemetry Requirements

Telemetry will always be required unless specifically agreed in writing by the Local
Development Engineer.

The minimum telemetry installation requirements are covered in Appendix 3 of this

guide.

Wessex Water have a system in use which requires the installation of a Seprol 500
outstation on the site. Wessex Water will connect and commission the outstation at the
Developer’s cost on a rechargeable basis.

Contact: Seprol (01246 436331) or for systems contact: Servelec (01246 433981).

Page 17 of 40
 Wessex Water offer a low cost full supply and commission telemetry service. A BT line
must be provided to the electrical kiosk to connect up the telemetry outstation.

A twenty four hour response telemetry system shall be provided and commissioned prior
to commencement of the formal maintenance period. The system shall be maintained by
the Developer to give notification of failure or breakdown of the pumping station.

Where a consented emergency overflow is installed the telemetry system shall provide
notification in the event of the overflow operating. Also the Developer shall provide to
the Environment Agency, on request, a written report on the operation of the emergency
overflow.

The Developer shall take all reasonable remedial measures to return the pumping station
to normal operation, as soon as practicable after receipt of warning of failure or
breakdown of the pumping station.

2.7 Standby Generator Facilities

The manual control generator connection facilities are detailed on the Wessex Water
Standard Drawings.

The changeover switch shall be the off-lockable, fault make/load brake type and shall be
labelled “standby generator supply/off/mains supply”.

A secure provision shall be made in the fabric of the kiosk for the entry of the flexible
cable to the link box. Adequate provision shall be made for the siting of the generator
and safe running of the generator cables. Connection of the generator to the control
panel will be by the link box.

A permanent earth stake and pod will also be required.

2.8 Cable Duct Sealing Details

All cables that enter the Wet Well or Valve Chamber must be sealed against water and
gas ingress using appropriate expanding foam. Cables must be separated, using spacers,
to ensure the foam surrounds each cable without leaving a gas path. The foam shall be
inserted to a minimum depth of 75 mm and a maximum depth of 100 mm.

2.9 General Electrical and Mechanical Standards

Installations shall comply with the latest edition of BS7671, the IEE Wiring Regulations
– Requirements for Electrical Installations. The Wessex Water General Electrical and
Mechanical Standards shall apply in addition to this document, a copy of which may be
obtained (minimum three weeks notice for delivery) from the Principal Engineer for the
Automation Team, Wessex Water Engineering Services, Operations Centre, Claverton
Down, Bath BA2 7WW.

2.10 Alternative Pump Configuration Options

A minimum of two pumps shall be provided. The design flow to be “Formula A” unless
agreed with the Wessex Waste Water Regional Services and Development Engineer.
The two pumps shall be arranged on an automatic changeover basis where failure of the
duty pump when called to run shall cause immediate changeover to the standby pump.

Page 18 of 40
 In larger pumping stations where more than two pumps are required, a sufficient number
of pumping units shall be installed to ensure that there is a standby pump to allow peak
flow pumping in the event of a failure of any single unit.

2.11 Dry Weather Flow Pumps

Consideration should be given to the inclusion of an additional “Dry Weather Flow” if:-

a) significant energy savings can be made, e.g. long rising mains, or

b) there are operational advantages in providing a lower flow rate, e.g. to even out
load at the receiving sewage treatment works.

In the former case, friction head needs to be a significant proportion of the total pumping
head, usually at least 50%. In addition, the annual pumping cost should be sufficiently
high to show a worthwhile saving, bearing in mind that this technique is likely to reduce
pumping costs by 25-50% compared to conventional design.

The level of saving can be calculated by comparing the specific energies (energy
input/unit volume pumped) for the large and small pumps. This also accounts for any
differences in pump efficiency. From these figures an estimate of annual savings can be
made depending on the volumes handled at the different pumping rates. Normally about
80% of the total volume is pumped at the lower rate.

These pumps should be rated at approximately 2 DWF. A timing system shall be

incorporated if a DWF pump is to be used, to ensure that at least once in every twenty
four hours the pumping main is flushed at a velocity not less than 0.75 metres/second by
the duty/standby pumps.

In most circumstances use of 2 x DWF pump will give velocities at around 0.4
metres/second in the rising main. Velocities lower than 0.3 metres/second are not
acceptable due to the risk of grit deposition.

Because of the requirement for full standby capacity at the maximum pump rate,
problems can arise due to the need for three pumps to be installed. In some cases, this
can be alleviated by using a dual speed pump to replace the small and standby pumps.
This pump should be selected for optimum operation at the lower rate as the higher
speed would only be used as a standby for the high rate pump.

At installations where low velocity pumping is used, the small pump will normally be on
first duty at all times to obtain maximum utilisation. However, it should not be run in
tandem with higher rates as this is likely to result in inefficient operation.

2.12 Non Submersible Wet Well Pumping Stations

Where circumstances dictate, other types of plant may be acceptable, such as:-

a) For stations where septicity may become a problem due to low flows a
Progressive Cavity (Mono type) pump and macerator may be used with a smaller
diameter rising main.

Page 19 of 40
 b) A dry well design with dry well pumps (including dry well submersible type
pumps) may be used as an alternative to the submersible pumps.

These are to be agreed with the Local Development Engineer and are not fully covered

Progressive Cavity Pumping Stations

Wessex Water have a framework agreement for the supply of progressive cavity pumps
with Mono Pumps. As such these are the preferred pump types.

“Mono” type or other Progressive Cavity pumps may be suitable for use in low flow
situations provided the following conditions are met:-

a) Suction pipework shall be as standard drawings and the positive displacement

pump is suitable for total suction head.

b) Mutrator/macerator to be fitted if rising main size less than 100 mm.

c) Protection to be provided to save pumps from running dry by provision of a no

flow switch in the rising main.

d) Building/kiosk for pump to allow room for maintenance, and installation of

lifting equipment, for pumps/macerators and motors.

e) Suitable frost protection to be installed by means of thermostatically controlled

heater.

f) There shall be no internal access to wet well from the building/kiosk.

Dry Well Submersible Pumping Stations

Dry well submersible pumps may be suitable provided the same conditions for
submersible pumps are met.

2.13 Valve Chamber Design

Each pump must be provided with a gate valve downstream of a non-return valve.
These valves are to be in a chamber separate from the sump as shown on the Wessex
Water Standard Drawings.

A tee with gate valve shall be provided at the beginning of the rising mains for the
connection of a mobile pump should this be necessary during repairs or plant failure.
This valve to be fitted with a “male” 100 mm Bauer coupling. The top of the coupling
should be set 100 mm below the access cover level. It shall be fitted with a bleed valve
(25 mm dia stop cock). It shall also be marked with a label (Appendix 2).

Non-return valves shall be mounted horizontally and be provided with sensors linked to
the telemetry system.

Non return valves shall be set up to move away from the proximity sensor when the
pump runs.

Page 20 of 40
 A bleed valve shall be installed on the over pumping Bauer connection.

Connections for the attachment of pressure gauges should be made either side of pump
discharge gate valves. Connections should be ½“ BSP sockets and plugs.

Valves shall be fitted with extension spindles supported as required; spindles shall be
extended such that the heads shall be set approximately 50 mm below cover level.

2.14 Floor Panelling at Large Pumping Stations

Floor panelling installed shall meet the following requirements:-

• Every panel shall be supported on all four sides.

• Where fitted in a concrete structure, the panels shall be located in a recessed frame
of purpose made curbing.

• Where fitted in a steelwork structure, the panels shall be located within vertical
welded strips around the panel perimeter. (These may double up as toe plates, if of
sufficient depth.)

• For multiple panels, each individual panel shall be located on the supporting
steelwork structure by fixing lugs or strips welded on the structure.

• Hence, the removal of a single panel will not affect the positioning of any other
panel. No other panel will be able to move sideways.

• This applies to horizontal and to inclined flooring panels; open-mesh or solid covers;
any material (steel, Al, GRP, etc).

• Fixing clips or screws should be provided, but these are not to be used for lateral
restraint.

SECTION 3 – RISING MAINS

3.1 General

The route of the rising main shall be agreed with Wessex Water.

The minimum internal diameter rising main shall be 100 mm. Wessex Water shall be
contacted to approve designs where specific considerations dictate a smaller size.

The rising main must be flexibly jointed at entry and exit points from all rigid structures
including the discharge manhole.

Air release valves, hatch boxes and washout chambers may be necessary at strategic
points along the main, and where future access will be easily available.

Sewerage rising mains must be coloured black. If any other colour is found to have been
used it will have to be completely replaced.

The use of any PVC or PE pipe for rising mains will not be permitted without computer
calculations carried out to simulate the effects of surge, unless agreed with the Local
Development Engineer in special cases with a short and low head.

Minimum class of PVCu pipe shall be Class “D”. Surge pressures which arise in rising
mains are sometimes excessive but can be reduced by careful design. The use of surge
vessels and special starting methods should be considered. A break manhole will
normally be required to provide some degree of flow balancing such that the flows
gravitate into the existing public sewer at a controlled rate and lower velocity. A
flexible mechanical joint must be provided just prior to the discharge chamber for
pressure testing of the main.

PVCu pipes must not be used in high risk situations such as crossings of rivers, railways,
canals, motorways etc.

The location and design of the discharge point of rising mains should receive careful
consideration to limit the possibility of odour complaint. If the discharge point is on a
gravity sewer where possible the site should not be just upstream of properties, or have
low dilution of existing flows. The design of the discharge point should include proper
flow channelling to avoid interruption in the existing sewer flow or turbulence. The
flow from the rising main should be smoothly directed and discharged down the sewer
outlet pipe to the chamber with minimum turbulence.

3.2 Additional Specification Items

3.2.1 Welded Joints in Plastics Pipes

Beads

(a) Bead widths to butt fusion joints shall be as detailed

in the manufacturer's literature.

Page 22 of 40
(b) A minimum of 20 minutes shall be allowed to elapse
after completion of the joint before the removal of
the external bead is permitted. The bead removal
shall be carried out using an approved tool
specifically designed for the purpose and without
damage to the pipe.

(c) Internal beads shall be removed on straight lengths of

pipe used for sewage pipelines.

(d) Each removed bead shall be marked/labelled and stored

on site until handed to the Wessex Water Inspector.

Equipment

(a) If, in the opinion of Wessex Water, the equipment

being used to make the joints is damaged or inadequate
to make a satisfactory joint, it shall be replaced to
the satisfaction of the Wessex Water Inspector.

equipment supplied by the Installer shall be of a type
approved for use with polyethylene.

(c) For Butt Fusion, fully automatic equipment to WIS 4-

32-16 shall be used, with dual cycle facilities as
appropriate under WIS 4-32-08. The machine shall
control all operation of the jointing process,
including:-
• Controlled trimming of pipe faces
• Automatic determination of drag forces
• Automatic check for pipe clamp slippage
• Heater temperature interlock to prevent bead
formation unless correct heater temperature is
attained
• Automatic heater plate ejection
• Heater plate removal in under 4 seconds
• Warning of early pipe removal prior to full cooling
The machine shall incorporate a closed loop system to prevent the joint being
made when it detects an error.

• Joint passed/failed

(g) All fusion machines shall have digital data capture

suitable for downloading utilising a standard RS232
serial port into a data retrieval unit (e.g. Psion or
laptop computer) for subsequent analysis on a PC and
printer. The unit shall have the capacity to down
load from more than one fusion machine and data from
more than 1000 joints.

Failed Joint

A fitting or an area of pipe that has been through a

complete heating cycle shall not be reheated. Where a
joint has proved unsuccessful, the section shall be removed
to 250 mm either side of the joint and the operation
restarted.

Spacing

The minimum permitted distance between any two fusion

joints shall be four times the outside diameter of the pipe
being jointed.

Times and Temperatures

The method, time and temperatures laid down by the
manufacturer and supplier for pipe jointing shall be
rigidly followed. Pipework shall be protected from dust
and rain while jointing is in progress.

Mechanical Jointing

Where joints are being made on to existing systems and the

material type cannot be identified, then approved
mechanical type (end loading) joints shall be used.

Jointing of Coils

The Contractor shall not join coil to coil, but shall

connect two coils via a standard straight pipe.

Stub Flanges

The Contractor shall use butt fusion welded stub flanges

when joining polyethylene pipes and fittings to other
materials where a removable joint is not required.

SECTION 4 – CHEMICAL DOSING

4.1 Introduction

A common problem with pumping stations serving new developments is that it has to be
completed and commissioned early on in the development but it can be years before it
receives the design flow from full occupancy of the site. This results in low flows
entering the wet well and long retention times in the rising main give the opportunity for
bacteria to multiply in the anaerobic conditions.

Consequent formation of Hydrogen Sulphide can be lethal in man entry of chambers, or

cause a severe nuisance with its characteristic “bad egg” smell.

The result of the formation of Sulphuric Acid is a corrosive effect on the fabric of the
sewer, concrete sections in manholes and mortar joints, and also electrical and metal
construction in pumping stations and STW’s.

There is also an adverse effect on the treatability of sewage.

4.2 Calculation

The rising main must be sized for the ultimate flow conditions from the full
development.

Measures to reduce septicity must be employed if the volume of effluent generated by

50% occupancy of the site over six hours is less than the internal volume of the rising
main.

i.e. For residential developments (including for 10% infiltration):-

Vol. of effluent = 510 litres/property/day x 6 hours

2 x 24 hours

= No. properties x 64 litres

For major sites where the rising main is in excess of 1000 metres further advice should
be sought from Hydrocare (see below).

The Developer will be expected to bear the costs of the installation of any chemical
dosing equipment deemed necessary and also the maintenance/running costs up until the
day of vesting.

4.3 Non-Dosing Solutions

There are a number of ways of reducing septicity without the need for introducing
chemical dosing and these should be considered first:-

a) Wet well sumps can be profiled to form a low-flow inner sump thus reducing the
volume of sewage retained between pump starts.

b) Twin rising mains can be laid to provide a low flow/short-term and high
flow/long-term option.

Page 25 of 40
 c) A lining can be sleeved in the rising main to temporarily reduce its cross-
sectional area and capacity, until flows adequately increase.

d) Impellers on pumps can be changed to increase the pumping capacity as the

incoming flow increases due to the increased occupancy of the development.

e) Some surface water run-off from the development can be temporarily diverted to
the foul system to increase incoming flow on a short term basis only.

4.4 Dosing Solutions

The current acceptable and recommended option to Wessex Water is dosing with
Nutriox which is an aqueous solution containing Nitrate. The manufacturers,
Hydrocare, offer two basic systems of Nutriox dosing equipment:-

“Coal Bunker” Type

A tank of Nutriox of up to 1,500 litres housed in a GRP kiosk that opens from the top.
A single pump drip feeds Nutriox into the wet well at an adjustable rate. This system is
suitable on a temporary basis for all but the largest and most critical sites. The pump
can be telemetered, although this is not normally necessary. Where used as a permanent
system an S box controller must be incorporated.

KTB (S Box) Unit

A duty/standby pump system with a tank of 1,500 litres and over discharges Nutriox to
the wet well at a rate to match the flow profile of the incoming sewer, i.e. less Nutriox is
introduced during peak flows. The unit is normally telemetered which should be made
live as soon as the unit is installed and patched through to the Wessex Water Control
Room. Wessex Water can then monitor the system and advise the Developer of any
failure as well as keeping Operations informed.

All storage tanks shall have a bund of 110% of stored volume.

Page 26 of 40
SECTION 5 – SITE DETAILS

5.1 General

The site location and layout shall be chosen to avoid possible noise and odour problems.
The pumping station boundary should not be any closer than 10 metres from the nearest
dwelling.

Site access should be a minimum of 3 metres wide. In the case of a roadside pumping
station a suitable off road parking area should be provided where possible and
appropriate. This area to be protected by fencing and gates or hinged
lockable/removable highway bollards.

All above ground plant should be housed in an appropriate building or kiosk, depending
on site layout and Planning Authority requirements.

5.2 Kiosks

All panels used in the construction shall be jointed using stainless steel bolts and sealed
with a non-biodegradable mastic sealer.

Where equipment is to be mounted on the kiosk walls the walls shall be lined with 20
mm marine plywood treated with two coats of clear polyurethane varnish, twelve hours
between coats.

The internal flange shall be suitable for bolting to a 50 mm rebate in the concrete base
slab. The rebate shall be filled with concrete on completion of the kiosk installation.
Fixing bolts shall be stainless steel expanding bolt type complete with large washers to
prevent damage to the GRP flange. They shall be located at suitable intervals to prevent
flange distortion.

All equipment shall be sited so as to avoid a trip hazard into the wet well or any other
opening chamber on the site.

The kiosk’s external colour shall be approved by the local Planning Authority. Wessex
Water’s standard colour is 14C39 to BS 4800.

Spare pump plates shall be affixed to the kiosk back board.

The kiosk shall allow sufficient space for the Area Electricity Board to mount metering
equipment etc.

The kiosk shall be sufficiently large to enclose its respective control panel and shall be
positioned to allow at least 1 metre of clear working space to the front of the kiosk.

5.3 Buildings and Walk-in Kiosks

Where specific considerations dictate that a building is needed, all such buildings must
comply with Wessex Water Standard Supplementary Clauses to CESWI for Building
Works on Waste Water Sites, Building Regulations and be granted planning permission
by the local Planning Authority.

Page 27 of 40
 The building should be as vandal proof as is practicable. Windows are not required. No
access to the sewer or wet well should be provided from inside the building to avoid
possible problems with gas ingress.

Roofs of pumping station buildings shall not be constructed with in-situ reinforced
concrete. Timber roofs are preferred, pitched (with tiles) to match surrounding
buildings, and maintenance-free uPVC fascias and soffit boards.

Integral insulation to be fitted to walls and roof to minimise heating costs.

Doors must be heavy-duty, vandal resistant low maintenance units.

5.4 Locks

The kiosk shall be fitted with a heavy-duty stainless steel hasp and staple three point
locking system suitable for an abloy padlock. Rim locks are not acceptable.

Wessex Water use Abloy Locks supplied by Guardian Security of Bristol (0117
9465505). These will be provided and fitted at vesting by Wessex Water and the costs
recharged to the Developer.

5.5 Kiosk/Building Electrical Services

The electrical services within the kiosk shall be run in super high impact heavy gauge
uPVC conduit with PVC insulated cable to BS 6004.

The services shall be connected to the control panel distribution section.

Unless otherwise approved, the following services shall be provided:-

A. Lighting

1. For Large Kiosks or Buildings

switch the heater on for half an hour. After this period the heater shall
automatically revert to thermostat control unless the pushbutton is pressed again.

2. For Small Kiosks or Buildings

Tubular heaters shall be positioned in the kiosk to maintain an internal

temperature of 6ºC with an outside ambient of -10ºC, this shall be controlled by
thermostat.

5.6 Fencing

All fencing shall be in accordance with any local Planning Authority requirements.

Where appropriate, sites should be provided with a 2.1 metres high security fence with a
suitably sized heavy-duty, fully galvanised lockable gate. Consideration must also be
given to the appearance of the site and concrete post and chain link fencing will
sometimes be totally unsuitable. A low security, such as timber post and three rail outer
fence is acceptable if internal site security is good.

The use of suitable brick walls is also acceptable.

Consideration should be given to the risk of damage by vehicles etc and where
applicable, suitable protective barriers provided.

5.7 Water Supply
