About All Pump Solutions
All Pump Solutions provides bespoke pumping systems for construction, residential development, commercial property and infrastructure projects across the UK. The company supports projects from initial design and engineering through manufacture, installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance. Its services include package pumping stations, adoptable pumping stations, submersible pumps, bespoke pipework, attenuation and fluid storage systems, alongside servicing and remote monitoring. Solutions are developed around the site, application and project requirements rather than relying on a single standard arrangement.
All Pump Solutions designs and supplies package pumping stations for sites where wastewater or other flows need to be collected and pumped onward. Systems can be configured around the required duty, site constraints, chamber arrangement, pipework, valves, controls and access requirements. The company offers project support from system design and equipment selection through manufacture, installation and commissioning, helping coordinate the pumping station with the wider development.
For developments requiring a pumping station intended for adoption by a water company, All Pump Solutions can support the design and supply of adoptable systems. The design process considers the relevant project specification, site layout and applicable adoption requirements. Early coordination with the developer, consulting engineer and relevant water authority helps establish the technical details and approval process for the proposed installation.
Every site has its own hydraulic, civil and operational requirements. All Pump Solutions provides bespoke design and engineering for pumping stations, including pump selection, system planning and project-specific layouts. Depending on the application, designs may incorporate GRP, concrete or HDPE chambers, along with suitable pipework, valves, control equipment and ancillary components. Final selection is based on project information and engineering requirements.
The company supplies submersible pumps and complete pumping installations for wastewater and other site-specific applications. Pump selection depends on the flow and duty requirements, the material being handled, installation conditions and the wider system design. All Pump Solutions can coordinate pump equipment with chambers, controls and pipework as part of a complete pumping solution.
All Pump Solutions supplies attenuation and fluid storage systems for projects that require managed storage of water or other specified fluids. System capacity, materials, connections and installation arrangements depend on the application and site conditions. The company’s engineering-led approach helps project teams consider storage equipment alongside pumping, drainage and associated infrastructure.
Pipework, valves and ancillary equipment form an important part of a complete pumping installation. All Pump Solutions can develop pipework solutions to suit the project, coordinating the arrangement with the pumping station, pump duty and site constraints. Fabrication, pre-assembly and equipment selection are planned around the agreed specification and installation requirements.
The company provides project management and site services for pumping systems, from planning and installation through commissioning. Work is coordinated around site access, construction sequencing, equipment requirements and relevant project documentation. Installation arrangements and responsibilities are agreed for each project, with commissioning used to check the installed system against its intended operating requirements.
All Pump Solutions offers planned maintenance and service contracts for pumping stations through its ServerPump service. Contract options provide different levels of scheduled inspection, servicing and parts cover. Routine maintenance helps identify wear or developing issues and gives operators a clearer view of equipment condition. The precise cover, included parts and additional visit arrangements depend on the selected service plan.
The company provides breakdown support and a 24/7 emergency helpline for pumping station customers. When a fault occurs, its support team can help assess the issue and determine the appropriate response, which may include remote guidance or an engineer attending site. Response arrangements depend on the circumstances, equipment and service agreement in place.
Allview telemetry supports remote monitoring and control of compatible pumping station equipment. Monitoring can provide alarms, operating information and historical data to help engineers identify potential faults and assess system performance. Depending on the installed equipment and agreed service, the team may be able to diagnose an issue remotely, advise on corrective action or arrange site attendance.
Based in Shrewsbury, All Pump Solutions serves projects throughout the UK. Its work spans residential developments, commercial sites, water and wastewater infrastructure and other applications requiring engineered pumping or fluid-management systems. From a single pumping station to a wider installation, the company works with project teams to establish requirements, coordinate technical details and agree the appropriate supply, installation and ongoing support arrangements.

Additional features of the Poynton Relief Road include cycleway and footway facilities, two new accommodation overbridges, and balancing ponds for drainage.
This project is a central component of the South East Manchester Multi-Modal strategy. This aims to relieve the existing traffic around Poynton town and improve connectivity between Macclesfield, Stockport, Manchester Airport, and the surrounding area.
The scheme will also deliver a range of complementary measures on the A523 London Road to Macclesfield, that address road safety and congestion while mitigating wider environmental impacts from traffic.
Councillor Craig Browne, Cheshire East Council deputy leader and chair of the council’s highways and transport committee, said: “This new road will bring about considerable change and relief for residents in Poynton, and the surrounding area, who have tolerated many decades of heavy traffic. I want to thank the people of Poynton, Woodford and Bramhall for their patience and tolerance during the periods of unavoidable disruption. The council has an outstanding record in delivering major infrastructure projects and the Poynton Relief Road is another example of our commitment to improving the quality of life for our residents through reduced traffic and improved air quality. It’s been described as the ‘missing link’ because it was originally planned alongside the new A555 Manchester Airport Relief Road – which was future-proofed to accommodate the Poynton Relief Road."
APS designed a pumping station in collaboration with Arcadis, to collect all surface water runoff from the impermeable catchment of 1.4ha and overcome the low point in the road. The flows are then pumped onwards to a high point in the drainage system, where it can then gravitate to a pond. In the unlikely event that a pump failure occurs during a 1 in 30-year (with 20% climate change) in accordance with the works information. To comply with this requirement, the attenuation tank will provide a storage capacity of 740m3, pumping a combined flow of 320 l/s (3 duty and 1 standby mode) along a 705 metre rising main. APS Advanced Telemetry monitoring is provided, which the APS service team can remotely monitor keeping close watch on the performance of the pumping station.
The link road will reduce town centre traffic congestion, cut pollution and improve air quality. Benefitting people’s health, the environment and the existing businesses in the town, which has seen reduced inward investment.
The scheme will bring economic and social regeneration to the local area by supporting new development sites and improving access to local business centres.
The route, which has been constructed by contractor Graham Construction, will be known as the Wolstenholme Elmy Way, after the famous pioneering educationalist and votes for women campaigner, Elizabeth Clarke Wolstenholme Elmy.
All Pump Solutions was proud to be chosen by Graham Construction to supply the pumping solutions for the project with a number of unique challenges in an area subject to a high water table. We designed, installed and commissioned two separate pumping stations for the historic £90m project.
The first solution was to design, install and commission a type 2 foul water pumping station that would serve a small development with appropriate emergency storage. This would meet the requirements of the sewers for adoption addendum set out by United Utilities. This was achieved by using two pumps that allow for a flow rate of approximately 4.49 litres/second 52 metres horizontally with 3 metres vertically.
In addition to this, we also supplied, installed and commissioned a surface water pumping station. Which, whilst it was not adoptable, there was the additional challenge of being situated to provide effective flood alleviation for the newly built link road. Therefore, allowing drivers to make the best use of the road regardless of the weather conditions.
This pumping station makes use of our Heavy Specification GRP+ Vertical Chamber and DN200 pipework to deliver a flow rate of 41.54 litres/second along a rising main of 440m.
All of this was achieved, despite the added pressures and challenges of delivering a large scale project during the Covid pandemic, which affected meant we and many of our suppliers and partners had to take special measures to protect workers.
Fulham FC has chosen to expand the capacity of their Riverside Stand. This will take the total stadium capacity up to 29,600 seats almost doubling the capacity in the Riverside stand alone. In order to achieve this additional drainage and sewage requirements were sorely needed. All Pump Solutions are proud to have supplied the pumping stations to such an iconic stadium. There were the additional challenges of ensuring that the system designed and installed would not only be suitable for the long-term future of the stand but that the risk of contaminating local waterways was eradicated. This most notably includes the Thames, which in some places in less than 10m away from the stadium.
The pumping stations, which include a bespoke 80,000 litre storage capacity GRP+ “Special” specification pumping station, Will cater for the additional capacity in the stand as well as numerous other additions being made. These additions include nine serviced apartments as well as new restaurants, cafés, bars, corporate hospitality, and event space throughout the stand.
At All Pump Solutions, we have used our 50-years of expertise to develop a solution to meet the demands of the stadium. With a factory-fitted benched floor installed at a gradient with a channel to drain into the sump and avoid septicity and solids build up. APS designed the system to incorporate Duty/Standby Javelin pumps and controls – all installed ready for the football season to kick off
Northstowe is the UK’s first new town in 50 years, since Milton Keynes. Comprising of up to 1500 dwellings, a primary school, a mixed-use local centre (including a community building and provision for non-residential institutions, financial and professional services, shops, cafes and restaurants, drinking establishments and hot food takeaways).
There will also be a leisure community, residential institutions, cultural health and employment provision (business general industry and storage & distribution) including a household recycling centre, formal and informal recreational space, and landscaped areas and infrastructure works including site re-profiling and associated drainage work, foul and surface water pumping stations, two flood attenuation ponds and associated works including the demolition of existing buildings and structures.
All Pump Solutions is proud to work alongside our partners to invest in developing the mechanical and electronic engineers of the future.
Our mechanical/electrical apprenticeships get the best of both worlds whilst under the combined tutelage of our experienced engineers and our educational partners. By choosing to get paid and learn at the same time, our apprentices gain valuable qualifications and hands-on experience that will set them up for highly rewarding and engaging careers with us. These qualifications include CSCS, confined space and SSSTS.
Responsibility
From their very first day, these future engineers are given task ownership and hands-on training. Furthermore, once they have passed their site safety course they are able to gain invaluable experience on sites ranging from small property developments to large scale industrial facilities. Some of our past apprentices have made huge contributions to some of our most interesting projects.
How we benefit from apprenticeships
However, it is not just the budding engineers who are able to benefit from the apprenticeship scheme. Despite being a market-leading business we are still able to learn a lot from our apprentices who come to us with a fresh viewpoint and a willingness to push themselves to develop, which as a result creates new areas that we can pursue.
“For us the greatest part of investing in our apprentices is being able to see their knowledge, ability and confidence develop, knowing that they have years of experience in the business to support them as they learn and grow as engineers.”
Our training doesn’t just stop when our apprentices qualify. This is because our ongoing support means that we will continue to fund courses throughout their careers with us. Past courses have included the Prince2 Project management course and the NICEIC Electrical Wiring course.
“What is also amazing to see is that once completing their apprenticeships newly qualified engineers choose to stay with us and pass their knowledge on to the next generation of apprentices.” - Roger Pocock, Director

With this in mind, we thought that we would take a look at how pumping stations can benefit rugby grounds.
How many rugby matches do you see being postponed because the pitch is waterlogged?
We can’t remember seeing any at the international grounds that will be in use over the next month, Twickenham, Stade de France, Stadio Olimpico, Murrayfield, the Principality Stadium or the Aviva Stadium.
The last major flooded pitch would have been during the world cup when the Japanese teams training ground flooded. There was nothing that could have been done to stop that after all hurricanes don’t happen all the time.
A fewer number of matches each year are postponed as you go down the league structure. This is down to the increasing quality of the drainage that can be afforded and installed. This water that is drained away has to have somewhere to go in order to work effectively. This is where the pumping stations come in to play.
How do pumping stations help in Rugby?
Like the vast majority of sports, the pitch is a crucial part of the game and can have a huge effect on the game. A quality pitch is also crucial in avoiding serious injuries occurring. This is because the safety of players in aspects such as scrums can be linked to the quality of the footing that they have.
Being able to manage and maintain the playing surface is seen as such a big factor in most sports that there are regulations that dictate minimum qualities. Rugby is one of these. With most of the international level pitches being hybrids of artificial and real grass to maintain the integrity of the pitch.
As such having sufficient water supply allows the ground staff to maintain pitches so that they can avert major damage. The use of pumping stations will allow for rainwater and excess water from sprinklers to be gathered, attenuated and then reused to irrigate the pitch.
Financial benefits?
Depending on the size of the area that is being drained the initial cost of the attenuation and pumping system can be daunting, however with the long term reductions in water costs across the stadium the benefits can be hugely impactful. These systems are unlikely to be used solely to drain the pitch and can also be used to drain the roof.
Because these systems will not discharge into the public water network, they can make use of GRP package pumping stations and a wider range of pumps ensuring that the efficiency of the system is maximised for each individual stadium.
Example system
All Pump Solutions have been chosen to design, manufacture and supply a number of systems for sporting arenas.
The most recent is the new York Community Stadium. The 8000 seater stadium will be home to both York City FC and York City Knights Rugby League Football Club. As well as this the stadium will host games in the 2021 Rugby League World Cup.
It was decided that APS would manufacture and supply one of our exclusively patented Integrapump® systems (Patent Number GB2447308). The 4m diameter and 16.5m length package pumping station had a total capacity of 200,000 litres. This meant that the drainage for the stadium would be effectively managed whilst the system would be easy to maintain through the integrated valve chamber.
Our engineers installed one of our large hire pumps, which enabled the road to be re-opened in a very short period of time.
Feedback received from Stockport Council: ‘Please pass my thanks onto the two Kevin’s. They were extremely professional, kept me well-informed throughout their work and gave us confidence in what they were doing.’
All Pump Solutions were tasked with designing an adoptable sewer system that could handle the drainage requirements for almost 1.1million sq.ft of warehousing and office space.
To achieve this All Pump Solutions supplied, installed and commissioned two pumps with individual flow rates of up to 7 l/sec alongside all the necessary pipework and valves and an external control panel. We were able to align ourselves closely with the local water authority to ensure that this installation was designed and manufactured to their Sewers for Adoption 7th edition specifications. As well as working alongside Severn Trent Water, we worked closely with the on-site contractors tasked with constructing the site.
All Pump Solutions successfully designed, supplied, installed and commissioned the project from start to finish. Because of this success, our engineers have remained on-site. With further pumping stations required for additional phases of the Doncaster IPort.
