GRAF | CARE guide

Pump station refurbishment and upgrade

Decide repair versus replace with a condition-led renew pathway for commercial pumping assets.

In short

Pump station refurbishment renews pumps, controls and related equipment when the civil chamber still has useful life, or recommends replacement when it does not. GRAF | CARE covers end-of-life assessment, upgrades and asset lifecycle planning. GRAF | LIFT, PRESS, REUSE and CARE are being rolled out Australia-wide excluding Victoria. Project delivery, commissioning and field attendance are confirmed against location and scope.

How it works

Renew work can refresh pumps, valves, sensors and panels while retaining a serviceable wet well.

What to do next

  1. 01

    Request an asset audit

    Share photos, drawings, duty notes and failure history for a condition review.

  2. 02

    Compare repair and replace

    Weigh chamber condition, access, hydraulic duty and control needs.

  3. 03

    Plan renew works

    Pump upgrades, controller upgrades, telemetry retrofit or full package replacement.

Start with condition and duty

End-of-life assessment looks at pumps, valves, sensors, panel health, wet-well condition, access and whether the current duty still matches site inflow and head.

Without an audit, projects risk replacing the wrong parts or leaving controls that cannot support modern alarms and sequencing.

Existing wet well considered for commercial pump station refurbishment
Chamber condition often decides whether renew or replace is viable.

Renew scope under GRAF | CARE

Typical renew items include pump upgrades, controller upgrades, telemetry retrofit, pump-station refurbishment works, repair-versus-replace recommendations and asset lifecycle planning.

Where a full GRAF | LIFT package is the better outcome, the renew path can transition into a new coordinated commercial station instead of piecemeal parts.

GRAF systems available for renewal and upgrade pathways
Upgrade pathways can draw on current GRAF package options.

Compare options

Use condition and consequence to choose the renew path.

Frequently asked questions

What is pump station refurbishment?+
Refurbishment upgrades or renews an existing station through pump upgrades, controller upgrades, telemetry retrofit, chamber works or a repair-versus-replace recommendation based on condition and remaining life.
When should I refurbish instead of replace?+
When the wet well and civil works remain serviceable but pumps, valves, sensors or controls are at end of life. An audit of condition, access and hydraulic duty guides the decision.
Can GRAF assess non-GRAF stations?+
Suitable existing assets, including non-GRAF systems, may be assessed on a project basis under GRAF | CARE audit and renew pathways.
What upgrades are common?+
Pump upgrades, controller upgrades, telemetry retrofit, valve and sensor replacement, and lifecycle planning that aligns the station with current duty and alarm expectations.
Is refurbishment available in Victoria?+
Commercial Systems CARE support is rolling out Australia-wide excluding Victoria. Confirm attendance and scope against the project location.
