why choose a BBA-approved package pumping station?
With so many options on the market, a BBA-certified solution offers a clear, reliable benchmark. T-T’s Planet Range is currently the only fully BBA-certified range of package pumping stations available in the UK. This industry-first certification applies to the complete system, demonstrating T-T’s deep understanding of drainage requirements and its ongoing commitment to quality and compliance. Held since 2006, this certification reflects
Not all package pumping stations are created equal. While anyone can install pumps and pipework into a chamber and label it a “package pumping station,” the reality is far more complex. These systems perform a critical role in the collection and disposal of waste and surface water for developments, meaning reliability, durability, and regulatory compliance are essential. A package pumping station is a self-
contained drainage solution designed for rapid installation, often available from stock, and typically more cost-effective than traditional construction methods. But sourcing the right station is more than just picking a product off the shelf– it’s about choosing a solution that’s fit for purpose and built to last. This is where independent certification becomes vital. Why BBA certification matters The British Board of Agrément (BBA) has been a trusted name in UK construction for over 50 years. BBA certification is a hallmark of quality, achieved through rigorous product testing and on-site manufacturing inspections. It confirms a product meets strict performance standards and complies with current building regulations. Crucially, the BBA evaluates not only the product but the manufacturer’s entire process, providing added assurance for specifiers, contractors, and clients alike.
T-T’s reputation for delivering reliable, tested solutions that stand up to the demands of modern developments. Key areas of the Planet Range that underpin this trust include: • Strength: Each chamber is hydrostatically pressure tested to ensure it can withstand groundwater pressure, an essential feature given the environmental stresses these products face. Chambers have been tested to the point of failure, ensuring a robust design that supports correct installation and performance even in challenging conditions. • Quality Control: Every station is tested individually before dispatch and comes with its own test certification and production history for full traceability. Chambers are manufactured from virgin- grade polymer, ensuring consistent quality and durability. • Durability: Built to last, the chambers are designed to match the design life of the drainage systems they serve, assuming proper maintenance. • Environmental Protection: The rotationally moulded, seamless construction makes each unit 100% watertight, preventing leaks or breaches. Made from recyclable virgin-grade polymer, the range also supports sustainability goals. Versatile, ready-to-install solutions All Planet Range stations are delivered pre-assembled with pipework, pumps, valves, level controls, and electrical controls, providing an out-of-the-box, fully automated drainage solution. T-T’s experienced engineering team can customise each unit to suit the specific
demands of your project, including options for single or dual pumps, various chamber sizes, and different pump technologies. The full Planet Range includes:
