Polymer Concrete vs. Fiberglass and Traditional Concrete Wet Wells Polymer concrete, as covered in “Why Choose Polymer Concrete: The Benefits of Polymer Concrete Wet Wells”, is an alternative to traditional wet well materials such as precast concrete and fiberglass. Polymer wet wells combine many of the benefits of fiberglass and concrete, such as resistance to corrosion and workability, respectively. While Romtec Utilities does not design systems around any one product or material, polymer concrete is

A “Closed-Loop” Control Scheme The Town of Samoa is an unincorporated small community located on the Samoa Peninsula in the Humboldt Bay.

The Benefits of Polymer Concrete Wet Wells As long as human beings have elected to hold or store liquids in ground, they have struggled with identifying the best materials for the job. The chemical make-up of the liquids and related off gassing in lift stations require different types of materials for an overall successful design.  At Romtec Utilities, we are faced with these types of scenarios every day and with our professional experience, we know

Pump Stations Designed For Current and Future Flows “Phased” (now and future flow) pump stations are common for large developments and ideal for situations in which the inflow to a lift station will increase over time. These types of systems are designed to run optimally at each phase. One might think that a large system designed to handle the maximum inflow found at full-buildout may be the best way to go. However, even though the
