Pumping Stations Photo Gallery
The photos included below are mostly of pumping systems or pipelines that personnel from Efficient Pumping have worked on in recent years. Whilst confidentiality must be respected for existing designs, new designs similar to these can be developed to meet any client's needs. Please use the "Contact Us" page to request further details.
Large capacity pumping station Pumping Station delivery pipes
Pumping station with multiple discharge pipes. This pumping station was part of an attemperating pumping system at a power station. (Attemperating means that it helps to cool the outlet water before it returns to its discharge point)
Surge protection equipment Pipe work & air valves
The pipework and air valve shown are part of a system used for surge protection. The air valve is a large double acting 250mm air valve on a pipeline connected to an air chamber.
Pipework at power station Large cooling water pipework
Large diameter cooling water pipe fittings at a power station
Ash and dust pipework Overland pipework
Typical ash and dust pipework. Ash pipework is generally basalt lined steel pipe in 4m lengths, and dust pipework is AC pipe, or sometimes HDPE pipe.
Submersible pump Submersible pump installed in pit
Typical large submersible pump installed in a wet pit pumping station
Booster pumping station Submersible pumps in dry pit
Submersible pumps installed in a dry pit installation. These pumps were installed in series with wet pit pumps installed upstream of them. The pumping station had the potential to flood, hence the use of submersible pumps.
Auxiliary cooling water pump Double suction vertical pump
Auxiliary Cooling Water (ACW) Pump. The pump is in bvertical configuration, and has a double suction single stage impeller.
Raw water pumping station Large butterfly isolating valves
Large butterfly isolating valves as part of a rising main pumping water
Pumping station discharge pipework Pumping station outlet pipework
Outlet pipes from a submersible pumping station. The picture shows firstly an air valve, then non-return valve, then isolating discharge valve.
Large axial flow submersible pump Slalom pump being installed
This pump was one of six installed in the canoe slalom course (Penrith Whitewater Stadium)
Have your design checked before building
Good design at the beginning helps to avoid arguments later Power station pumps Pumps and pipework
Large double suction single stage power station cooling water pumps.
Booster pumping station Layout of pumps and valves
Booster pumping station on 80km overland pumping system. Each pump has a double suction booster pump and double suction main pump with combined head of 250m.
Booster pumping station Pumping station layout
High pressure pump system with pumps in series. A high pressure double-suction pump is boosted by a lower pressure double suction booster pump installed in series

Submersible pumping station Pump station with submersible pumps installed
This picture shows a pumping station utilising very large submersible pumps. The pumps were in two banks, with a further five pumps situated behind the pumps shown.
Cooling water pipework Syphon pipework
Large 2m diameter syphon pipework and associated vacuum pipework. Syphon pipes are common on power station cooling water systems, and enable complete isolation of the pipework.
Pipework at power station Cooling water pipework
Large diameter cooling water pipe fittings at a power station
PC Pump Self priming progressive cavity (PC) pump
This progressive cavity pumping system returns seepage water to an ash dam
Steel rising main Water supply pipe work
Pumping station discharge pipework rising main. This pipework is constructed in cement lined steel.
Auxiliary cooling water pump Double suction cooling water pump
This picture shows a typical auxiliary cooling water pump. The pump is a single stage double suction pump, and is installed in a process plant.
Submersible pumps Submersible pumps with cables attached
Large capacity submersible pumps. These pumps were used a in a large submersible pumping station.
Power Station Pump Large cooling water pump
Typical vertical cooling water pump with a mixed impeller, and used at a power station on cooling water duty.
Axial flow submersible pump Canoe slalom course submersible pump
An axial flow submersible pump for the Canoe Slalom Course being handled on site. The pump weight is about 5 tonnes.
Penrith Whitewater Stadium Canoe Slalom Course - the finished article!
This photo shows the Whitewater Stadium in operation during an international event.
Power station cooling water pump Large pump and motor
This pump is a double suction single stage cooling water pump installed at a power station. The flow is about 5000 L/s.
