This standardized wastewater lift station was in collaboration with the City of The Dalles for pumping from a local facility. We have worked with the City of the Dalles in Oregon on a variety of projects, and they specify our pumping systems as their standard. This is a multi-phase project, like Valley Knolls, where the flows start at a lower level and increase with time and more development. The system is designed to meet high flows with the full buildout expected within four years.

We worked with RH2, the civil engineer on this project, to design the city standardized pump station. It features 20 horsepower Flygt submersible pumps in a triplex configuration, with a Multismart primary controller, with Multitrode probes, and E&H FMX 21 pressure transducers.

The Dalles, Oregon is a port city that sits along the Columbia River. It is the county seat of Wasco County, and the largest city in the county with a population of 16,010 at the 2020 census.

The Dalles is 75 miles east of Portland and is in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Interstate 84 connects the Dalles with the Gorge, which includes Multnomah Falls, a popular tourist destination that includes hiking trails, a lodge, bridges, and some great views of the Columbia River.

Lewis and Clark camped in the Dalles at the Rock Fort Campsite, which is a natural fortification in 1805. The Rock Fort Campsite is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Dalles sits east of Mt. Hood but is warm and dry during the summer, making it a great climate for cherry orchards in the area.

There are a variety of attractions in The Dalles, including the Fort Dalles Museum and Anderson Homestead, National Neon Sign Museum, Old St. Peter’s Landmark Preservation, and the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum.

Romtec Utilities has worked with the City of the Dalles before on several projects including Meadows, Jordan Street, and Goodwill, Eastside Sanitary Sewer, and Chenoweth Business Park.

The City of the Dalles requires Romtec Utilities’ systems as their standard. They have directed RH2 to utilize us for this process, who is the civil engineer on this project. The city standardized pump station pumps sanitary sewer from a local facility.

We have worked with RH2 before on several projects including Bear Creek Park, Cedar Links Park, and Dermody Oxbow.

Crestline Construction is subcontracted by Turner and Townsend, who are the owner’s representatives. Established in 1994, Crestline Construction Company, LLC is a heavy civil general contractor and construction management firm headquartered in The Dalles, Oregon. We worked with Crestline on a variety of projects with the City of The Dalles.

RH2 Engineering, Inc. has over 45 years of experience providing quality civil engineering services that bring value and confidence to our partners with public utilities and municipalities with several offices, including in Richland, Washington.

Romtec Utilities was proud to provide the design, manufacture, supply, and commissioning of this wastewater lift station for the City of The Dalles, in partnership with RH2 and Crestline Construction who installed the pumping system.

We provide wastewater lift stations for facilities and developments all over the country that meet the pumping requirements of each location and the project requirements. We work with the owners to provide controls that will fulfill the necessary monitoring systems of maintenance staff.

A city sewer lift station is designed to help pump wastewater as a city expands or developments take place, especially designed for future flows if expansion is planned to take place, as this project is. That is why having a standardized city wastewater lift station, which Romtec Utilities provides for the City of The Dalles, is important.

We are a full service, design-build company that provides the complete package system including design, supply, warranty, commissioning, and start-up with one single entity. This makes the process smooth and provides a high level of value to the owners or developers.
