This is a corrugated, self-supporting pumping station shaft with a load bearing capacity of up to 200 kg and has been tested to withstand a 1 tonne load. It includes a strong, load-bearing cover and a raised median strip. The entire development and production took place in the Czech Republic.
Pumping station shafts can be used in several ways, firstly for drainage: Pumping station shafts are often used to drain underground areas, such as basements, car parks or underground tunnels. Secondly, they are used for drinking water: in areas where there is no central water supply system available, pumping station shafts can be used to pump groundwater for household or industrial use. Thirdly, they are used for wastewater: in areas where a sewerage system it is not feasible or efficient to create, pumping station shafts are used to pump and drain wastewater. Lastly, for industrial use: in industrial sectors, pumping station shafts are also frequently used to drain, pump or store different types of fluids, for example in the chemical industry.
