Monolithic Precast Wet Well Bases Beyond 8 Feet Monolithic Precast Wet Well Bases are the unsung heroes of wastewater infrastructure, providing the essential foundation for the proper management of sewage and wastewater. These structures often need to handle significant volumes, and their design and construction become increasingly complex when the internal diameter exceeds 8 feet. The term “monolithic” may suggest that the entire structure is poured in one continuous operation, but this isn’t always the case. Typically, monolithic precast wet well bases consist of two key
What is a “package” pumping system?

Although some projects may require a fiberglass, steel, or stainless-steel sump, these materials can be hard to work with. Therefore, there should be special consideration when using these types of materials to create a wet well structure. When working with any of these three materials there are 3rd party manufacturers involved and they

Booster pump systems push or “boost the flow of clean water”. Typically, these are installed for new developments, both residential and commercial. These Booster pumping skids are normally above grade and housed in a building. At Romtec Utilities, we completely prefabricate and pressure test the skid before it
