Storm Water Pump Station

The design of wet wells for storm water pumping stations requires careful study where vertical axial flow or diffusion vane pumps are installed taking suction directly from the wet well.

Storm water pump station.

Submersible pumps provide special advantages in simplifying the design construction and maintenance and therefore the cost of the pumping station. Excel fluid group precast concrete pump station packages for sewage or stormwater have been designed to provide the contractor and end user with a well engineered cost effective product that reduces the excavation size through its cost saving design features. The pumps each have a capacity of discharging 40 million gallons per day for a total pumping capacity of 80 mgd. Stormwater pump stations help protect areas by pumping away large volumes of water thereby preventing the occurrence of flooding.

The stations motor control center and vfd s are by allen bradley with a usemco s sentry pump controller. The storm water pump station features two high performance submersible pumps. Completed walls of the pump station are 2 5 feet thick. If a drain pump is used it is best practice to install it at the lowest point in the station as shown above.

This station for indiana dot features pratt pneumatic valves and 250 hp fairbanks morse submersible pumps. Romtec utilities can also design stormwater products with several cost saving techniques including flooded inlet lines jockey pumps and the use of lower horsepower pumps to meet the required pumping rate. These pumps are very sensitive to inflow arrangements spacing between the units and clearances from the bottom and sidewalls. Many cities and municipalities are located on or near bodies of water creating a need for large reliable pumping systems capable of handling large volumes of water.

Storm water stations usemco storm water pump stations are custom designed for each project. Storm water pump station this project consisted of a cast in place concrete pump station 25 deep below the surface and required dewatering wells to draw groundwater below the construction limits. Drain pump stormwater stations can be inactive for long periods and should be able to be drained of water when not in use. Commercial stormwater pumps are necessary to remove storm water from areas that cannot be drained by gravity.

Our stormwater pump stations can be configured for either high flow or low flow scenarios.
