A major Scottish wastewater facility in Glasgow has undergone a digital transformation 120 years after it was built.
Partick Pumping Station, which serves 170,000 people, is being updated with state-of-the-art 'smart hardware' which boosts the operability, efficiency, and reliability of the pumping station.
The new system replaces the 1904 station's steam-driven pumps which were later substituted with electrical pumps during the 1960s.Two main sewers go to the facility and it lifts flows from those sewers to a gravity sewer which takes wastewater to Dalmuir Waste Water Treatment Works in Clydebank. "Being able to see pump performance, energy usage, weather information and well levels, gives us confidence in managing our assets, and means we’re able to respond to emerging risks more quickly.
