What the foundation needs to do
A package pumping station is installed to precise inlet, outlet and cover levels. If its chamber is set too high, low or out of plumb, the surrounding drainage and access cover will not work as designed.
We install approved base and excavation elements from the pump supplier or drainage engineer detail, with electrical, mechanical and commissioning work retained by the specialist team.
Options, assessed properly
Suitable foundation methods
The methods below are possibilities to assess—not interchangeable specifications. We match the foundation to the product, loads, support points, ground and access.
A written price for the approved detail
Specialist foundations are quoted from the actual product, support plan and site information. No VAT is added to the guide prices shown.
Before installation
Dimensions, approvals and responsibilities
The pumping-station supplier should provide installation, ballasting and concrete-sequencing instructions. These protect the chamber from distortion and flotation.
Ground screws may support a separate control cabinet platform if designed for it, but they do not replace the buried chamber installation system.
JustBases quotes the agreed foundation and groundwork. Product installation, specialist connections, commissioning and third-party design remain outside our scope unless the written quotation expressly includes them.

"Good standard of workmanship. Friendly and efficient. Prompt response for estimate and fitted into our timescale. Will be using the firm in future and thoroughly recommend them."
"Craig and his team were very professional throughout the job. They worked tirelessly and extremely hard. The job involved digging up a thick reinforced concrete base. Then creating a whole new base with precision engineering in preparation to accept a new building on top. The result was an excellent job all round."
