pumping foul water

[eagleeye]

I have been asked to enquire about various options for a job where the customer is going to install a portable toilet block at a local social club. The toilet block will be permanent and the problem I have is that I cant plumb the foul waste into the nearest drain as it is only for surface water. The only option I have if I pump it is to pump up about 3 mtrs then fall along a flat roof about 25 mtrs and down into a foul water manhole. If not this option then it would have to be a septic tank buried in the ground and emptied by a lorry. something that is going to be expensive I think.
I have been looking at a Grundfos Multilift twin pump station. Model MLD but notice that its really expensive. The guy who I’m doing the quote for has sent me an email of a company he has got a price from to supply a unit but never heard of the make. It’s from a company called "Total Waste Water Systems UK Ltd" and the unit they have priced is manufactured by "OLIJJ" Model. Mini Two 1000.1500 Rigged Dual Pump Station at a price of £1665. seems very cheap compared to the Grundfos unit. Question is that can anyone give me any advice on this situation and advise of any reliable good foul wastewater pumping stations.

The toilet block will have 5 pans, 3 urinals, and 4 basins


Any comments would be much appreciated

Why not move the toilets nearer the drains or hire a man with a jcb or even hire a mini digger. About £40/hr can get a man and machine.

Last option would be a pump.

Unfortunately this is the only place the toilets can go. When you say about a digger do you mean to put a septic tank in?? Can possibly be done but its the space that we don’t really have. will have to take some pics tomorrow and post them on here to give you a better idea. We have a patio area and the toilets are going to the side of that and basically behind that there is a farmer’s field.

Agree with tamz last option would be a pump but if you have to go that route then try PumpTechnology of Aldermaston, Berkshire and a pumping station buried underground.

Have all the info re distances and 5 pans ready and give them a call or look at their website online.

As Tamz has said, you can hire a mini digger for £65 a day, thats a nationwide price, you might get it cheaper locally, after an hour on it you will be flying. Allocate a full day for trenching at least and a full day for making good, cheaper than 2k for a pump.

Cheap foul pumping station 2k more like 22k. Pimms pumps specialise in tanks, float valves, rail pumps and rising Sewer installs..

And a lot more reliable.

Worst thing in the world is cleaning them pumps out because someone's flushed something that hasn't been eaten.

Trench to the foul water drain. Inspection chamber at each change of direction.
