News & Stories from Romtec Utilities
Romtec Utilities designs, manufactures, and supplies pump and lift stations for all types of applications. Our services start at the very beginning of the design phase, but just as important, our services run all the way through the final commissioning of the system. These services are one of the many ways that Romtec Utilities distinguishes ourselves from any competition in this discipline and marketplace. With Romtec Utilities, you are not just purchasing a product. You
Romtec Utilities designs, engineers, and manufactures pump stations for many applications including wastewater, stormwater, and industrial applications. One challenge all pump station operators share is the risk of system failure, especially during extreme weather. Loss of power, component failure, and clogging/blockage are the most frequent causes for pump station failure during storm events. These types of failure can often be protected by including backup components, such as emergency generators or redundant pumping configurations. Redundancy helps
Romtec Utilities uses our customer’s site data (or from their engineer) to design site-specific pump stations for all water pumping applications. One vital piece of information used to design lift stations is the dimension of the pressurized force main. This measurement is defined by several factors: the diameter of the force main, the force main material, and the thickness of the pipe wall. Force mains are integral to the functionality of water infrastructure. The piping
Romtec Utilities designs, engineers, and manufactures pump stations as complete packages, including all structural components like wet wells, valve vaults, meter vaults, and more. We prepare each of these structures prior to delivery so they can be installed quickly and easily by the awarded contractor. Some of the preparation work involved during fabrication includes installing mechanical assemblies directly into the structure, installing mounting hardware, identifying and labeling each prefabricated unit, and applying any interior/exterior coatings
Romtec Utilities specializes in providing site-specific pump stations for all types of applications, including wastewater collection systems. One increasingly frequent challenge with wastewater lift stations is how they handle “flushable” wipes, FOG (Fats, Oils, and Greases), and other materials that get flushed into the sewer system. Sewer collection systems are often designed with countermeasures to prevent break down or damage from encountering these difficult to handle materials. Finding long-term solutions can be difficult, but only
