Scottish Water's St Nicholas Sewage Pumping Station (SPS) in St Andrews successfully avoided over-pumping during maintenance due to real-time monitoring provided by Xylem's Avensor system. Maintenance included replacing an inlet gate valve and non-return valve, but issues with the isolation valve threatened to disrupt operations.
High inflows necessitated reliance on standby pumps, as tankering was impractical. Utilizing real-time data, the team restricted flows from upstream stations, enabling controlled drainage for repairs. The SPS was restored to full operation without additional mitigation measures, resulting in cost savings and reduced environmental risk. This case illustrates the value of advanced monitoring technologies in complex operational scenarios.
