Plantation Pipe Line – Low-Cost Stormwater Pump Station
Project Description
This package stormwater lift station was configured to meet the medium runoff flow of this industrial property. One submersible centrifugal pump makes this a simplex station with an in-well check valve. The single pump handles high head conditions caused by 9,000 feet of 4” force main. Additional system valves are located in a below grade valve vault. An outdoor control panel includes floats for liquid level-sensing and a basic alarm for communication. A Thern crane was included with this station to raise and lower the pump.

Why They Chose Romtec Utilities
The construction of a new industrial facility by Plantation Pipe Line Company required a new stormwater lift station and stormwater plan. Romtec Utilities was contacted by MWH Americas Inc. (Civil E.) to provide budgetary pricing for a package lift station. Romtec Utilities worked with MWH Americas and MWH Global (Project Manager) to review their stormwater plan and propose how a package lift station approach would benefit their goals. MWH Global quickly realized that this approach would achieve its pumping goals for less money. Romtec Utilities also helped MWH Global reduce the lead time of its approved design without adding cost. The Romtec Utilities packaged stormwater lift station helped MWH Global and Plantation Pipe Line implement their stormwater plan quickly and for less money.
