This winter has seen flooding hit the UK once again as heavy rains and gale force winds have battered the country. The good news for residents of Maida Vale in northwest London is that from December 2014 sewer flooding will become a thing of the past. "We are disconnecting every property that floods from the existing sewer and redirecting the flow to two new pumping stations," explains lain Tytler project manager for Optimise. Optimise is a joint venture between contractor J Murphy ft Sons, Barhale Construction, Clancy Docwra and consultant MWH and is carrying out the work as part of its AMP 5 framework agreement with the UK's largest water company Thames Water. "In dry weather all sewage will be pumped away immediately, in storm conditions the pumping station will hold the runoff and then we have storm pumps to take the flow away once the rain has subsided."
