Once the pump station chambers are constructed, a member of our contracts team will conduct a prestart meeting to ensure the chambers are ready for installation. Any required adjustments will be addressed at this stage. After confirming everything is in order, we will schedule the first fix.

After the pipework installation, the following tasks will be completed:
Once the first fix is complete, the second fix begins. This stage includes installing the pumps and control equipment, pulling through cables, and commissioning the system. If a permanent power supply is unavailable, a return visit will be necessary to complete the commissioning.
Telemetry will then be installed and set up.
