Romtec Utilities designs pump and lift stations that are functional, reliable, and safe to own and operate. Last week, our blog discussed the importance of using reliable fall protection in wet well hatches, an important design feature. Another significant safety concern located near the wet well is the disconnect panel and electrical junctions. Romtec Utilities offers componentry and expert electrical engineering to provide safe operation and maintenance on the electrical system of pump and lift stations. Electrical disconnects include an interesting safety consideration.

Romtec Utilities only designs and supplies pump and lift stations with OSHA certified hatches that include reliable fall-protection. There are many technologies available for fall-protection, but some are more reliable than others. The design of a pump or lift station can also include preventative measures to protect against falling hazards. Designing and supplying pump and lift stations that are safe for long-term use is equally important to Romtec Utilities as providing systems that are reliable and functional.

Romtec Utilities works with all sizes of urban and rural municipalities to establish and implement design standards for pump and lift stations. Using standard design practices improves the management and maintenance of all types of pump and lift stations for wastewater and stormwater applications. Creating, implementing, and imposing standards, however, can be difficult without the support of an expert in the engineering of these types of systems. Romtec Utilities will help any public water management agency get sustainable standards that can be used for every new pump or lift station project.

Romtec Utilities operates our own metal fabrication shop at our manufacturing facilities. Owning and operating our own metal shop provides our customers and our pumping systems with many different advantages. The most common advantage is lower costs for metal components on pump stations, but there are also advantages related to our speed of manufacturing and our ability to fabricate custom components. Let’s take a look at how these advantages can benefit your pump station project.

Romtec Utilities offers our customers comprehensive documentation and services on every pump and lift station system. These advantages are provided in addition to our complete design and engineering services by industry experts and to the manufacturing, packaging, and shipping of the pumping system. After a system is designed, approved, and purchased, a process then takes the system from designs to a complete supply package with scope documents, installation and start-up services, and operation and maintenance manuals.
