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.

When Romtec Utilities designs a wastewater lift station, a valve vault is typically included in the design. These below-grade structural components can be affordably manufactured out of precast concrete and fiberglass. The entire valve assembly is typically housed in the vault below the ground for a multitude of reasons, including site traffic, aesthetics, safety, security, or weather and frost protection. Valve vaults provide many distinct advantages that benefit lift station owners and operators who utilize in-ground valve assemblies.

Romtec Utilities designs and supplies complete pump and lift stations with generators for back-up and auxiliary power. There are many types of generators available in the market and choosing which one to use relies on the needs of the pumping system and the preferences of the system owner or operator. Let’s take a look at some available generator types and common design considerations that occur when including a backup generator in a lift station design.
