Shell Design

Designed with reference to BS EN 13121. All tank shells carry the SPEL 25 Year Warranty and life expectancy in excess of 50 years.

Shell Specifications

Different tank shell specifications are available dependent upon tank invert levels, ground conditions and ground water levels. (See Installation Guidance section)

Separate valve chambers allow for easier access for maintenance and are required for pumping stations designed for adoption which includes the following:

The valve chamber should be separate from the wet well to accommodate different settlement. (Particularly in relation to conventional concrete chamber constructed chambers.)
The valve chamber should house the following:
One gate valve per pump mounted horizontally in the pump set outlet pipework and arranged to isolate the pump sets from the rising main;
One check valve per pump mounted horizontally in the pumpset outlet upstream of the gate valves and arranged to prevent mass flow reversal under normal operating conditions; and a gate valve and 100 mm diameter female Bauer coupling, mounted vertically in a Tee piece in the rising main, downstream of the gate and check valves, and suitable for connecting to a flexible hose pumping out the wet well by mobile pump/tanker during plant maintenance or failure.
The valve chamber should be provided with a gravity drain into the wet well.

Typical Valve Chamber

Other requirements include the specification for the valves, access opening, protection against surface water entry, the type of covers, venting etc. SPEL Products can advise in the design to meet specific requirements.

SPEL Valve Chambers are available as separate units in different sizes 1.2 – 4mø and have the benefit of a factory fitted and tested ‘one piece’ unit.
