The evolution of pumping starts here
A connected approach to wastewater management that improves performance today and builds resilience for tomorrow
Smarter pumping for a more resilient wastewater network
The demands on wastewater networks are changing. AMP8, tightening environmental expectations, rising operational costs, and increasingly extreme weather events are driving utilities to rethink how pumping stations are designed, operated, and managed.
The good news is that the next generation of pumping technology is already here.
The evolution of pumping combines intelligent pumps, advanced controls, and connected digital solutions to transform pumping stations from isolated assets into integrated, data-driven systems. By continuously adapting to network conditions and providing real-time operational insights, these technologies help utilities improve performance, reduce energy consumption, lower maintenance costs, and enhance network resilience.
Utilities across the UK are already benefiting from intelligent pumping technologies
Proactive maintenance in action
Yorkshire Water transformed pump station maintenance by reducing reactive maintenance visits by 51% while also achieving a 13% reduction in energy consumption.
Supporting the journey to net zero
Scottish Water has leveraged intelligent pumping technology and real-time monitoring solutions to reduce energy consumption by up to 60%, improve operational efficiency, minimise blockages, and support its net-zero ambitions.
Smart pumping at scale
Welsh Water is scaling the deployment of Flygt Concertor® across its wastewater network after a successful trial reduced blockages across all pilot sites. The intelligent pumping solution has helped deliver an 85% reduction in pump and parts inventory.
The building blocks of the evolution of pumping
Together, these technologies create a connected wastewater ecosystem that supports smarter operations today while preparing utilities for the challenges of tomorrow.
