Lifting stations: Enabling design flexibility with efficient and reliable wastewater management

As architects, designers, and engineers, we’re often faced with the challenge of integrating essential amenities, such as bathrooms and kitchens, in a way that maximises both form and function.

Lifting stations are a key solution when conventional gravity drainage systems are not feasible.

Today, we’ll explore how these systems work, how they enhance design flexibility, and what to consider when specifying them for your projects.

At the end of this presentation, you should be able to:

• Explain what a lifting station is, their purpose and how they work.
• Outline the variations in lifting station technology available to ensure drainage requirements are met.
• Outline the type of project where a lifting station may be used.
• Explain the benefits of lifting stations and how they can help improve the design of different types of projects (residential or commercial).
