Solution
WaStop® Inline Check valve
Wapro's partner in the UK, Aquatic Control Engineering (ACE) consulted closely with Halcrow and the Environment Agency to provide an alternative solution to the original specification for these pumping stations. The original concept outlined a stainless steel flap valve solution, requiring maintenance and lifting equipment for inspections and repairs. The supply and design of six WaStop inline non-return valves were provided following their consultation, offered lower maintenance, in-pipe protection for the membrane and importantly, a greater ease of installation. The simplicity of installation incorporated into the design allowed for Interserve to construct the project without the need for an Installation and Project management team to be present.
Three NPS 56" WaStops were placed in the Beam River pumping station and were the largest WaStops to have been made at the time of project. Three NPS 40" WaStops were installed at Gores Brook.
ACE would like to thank, Halcrow, Interserve and the Environment Agency for this opportunity and for their professional scheme management throughout.
