##### Allflo Pumps was engaged by a Victorian Shire Council to refurbish and upgrade an existing **stormwater pump station** used for town drainage and flood relief.

The application required a reliable solution capable of handling debris-laden stormwater while reducing ongoing maintenance and improving operational control.

### The Challenge

Stormwater pump stations are exposed to trash, solids, and fluctuating inflows during heavy rainfall events. The existing system required:

- Improved solids-handling capability
- Reliable self-priming performance
- Reduced maintenance access and costs
- Automated level control for flood response

### The Allflo Solution

Allflo selected **Remko heavy-duty above-ground self-priming trash pumps**, purpose-built for stormwater and flood mitigation applications.

The upgraded system included:

- **Remko heavy-duty self-priming trash pumps**
- Capability to **self-prime and re-prime** during variable inflow conditions
- Solids handling up to **76 mm diameter**
- **Above-ground installation**, improving access and reducing maintenance requirements
- **Variable speed operation**, controlled via level sensors
- **Submersible pressure transducers** installed in the wet well for accurate level control
- Quick-access design, allowing blockages to be cleared by removing **two wing nuts** to access the impeller

The pumps were selected not only for performance, but also for long-term support, backed by **Australian-based spare parts and replacement pump availability**.

### Outcome

The refurbished pump station delivers reliable stormwater and flood relief performance, improved maintainability, and greater operational control for council infrastructure.

This project demonstrates Allflo’s experience in delivering **robust, low-maintenance pumping solutions for municipal stormwater applications**, where reliability during critical weather events is essential.

 

If you’re upgrading or maintaining a stormwater or flood mitigation system, Allflo can provide a solution designed to perform when it matters most.
