A lift station design criteria will also need to specify electrical requirements such as the available …

Romtec Utilities needs a few pieces of basic information to begin a preliminary pump station design. The design starts with providing the expected peak inflow in gallons per minute. The second piece of information needed is the calculated total dynamic head or the elevation change across the force main. Along with this information, the overall length and internal diameter of the force main is also needed. Finally, the elevation of the deepest inlet line below …

The Romtec Utilities start-up technician follows a Field Start-Up Report that is configured to each specific system. Our technician will typically run through these assessments before starting-up the lift station: Structural/Mechanical Construction, Electrical Construction and Connections, Water Availability, Pump and Pump Control Data, Communication Equipment, Physical Inspections, Back-Up Power Generator (if applicable), Pre-Start-Up Pump Electrical Checks, Operational Checks, Draw Down Test, Pressure Readings, Primary and Secondary Level Sensing.

The construction advisor’s main role is to answer the contractor’s questions and to provide suggestions if and when installation issues occur. The advisor is not there to direct the contractor’s workers or to inspect the lift station. It is the contractor’s responsibility to make sure there is adequate equipment for lifting the concrete and enough workers to properly install the lift station.
