The renovation of the University of Washington’s Husky Stadium required a new lift station to handle medium flows of wastewater. Robust, 10hp Vaughan Chopper pumps were used in a duplex configuration to macerate solids and to pump under unpredictable conditions. The lift station, valve vault, and the access hatches were designed as traffic rated to accommodate loading/unloading next to the main grandstand. The UL listed control panel starts, stops, and alternates each pump cycle at levels measured by Noltaniva float sensors.

A remote Tesoro Corporation industrial site needed this stormwater pump station to handle water discharged from an oil/water separator which processes on-site runoff. Submersible centrifugal pumps were used in a duplex configuration in this shallow wet well. The 7.5 hp Ebara explosion-proof pumps were sized to meet low flow, medium head conditions for stormwater. Check valves and plug valves were integrated into the discharge piping in the well for a simple and cost-effective design. The precast concrete wet well and the access hatch are both pedestrian rated.

City of Camas Washington

Holt Homes | Camas, WA | 415 GPM - 117' TDH

A large residential development required this package lift station to meet the high sewage flows for over 330 residential lots. Two inlet lines are fitted with deflector panels to reduce the in-well turbidity and protect the duplex submersible solids handling pumps from cascading influent. A below-grade valve vault contains the system valves, access ports, and pressure gauges. A sheltered, outdoor control panel utilizes a pressure transducer and backup conductive probe for liquid level-sensing and is connected to an emergency backup generator.

jweddell300gpm - 500gpm, Pacific, Residential Development, Urban Growth, Wastewater

The Confederated Tribes of the Grande Ronde Community purchased this lift station to meet the medium sewage flows of a new housing development. Submersible solids handling pumps in a duplex configuration are protected from influent by two deflector panels on two inlet lines. A below-grade concrete valve vault provides easy access to the system valves, pressure gauges, actuators, and access ports. An outdoor UL listed control panel is protected by a shelter/shade structure. Liquid level-sensing is accomplished with a conductive probe and backup float controls.

Industrial Stormwater Pump Station

This package lift station handles the medium flows of stormwater and process water drainage at this oil refinery. A stormwater plan is required at most industrial facilities and BP proactively chose a reliable lift station to manage its environmental footprint. Duplex submersible centrifugal pumps and a below grade valve assembly comprise the major underground components of this system. An outdoor control panel utilizes float controls and an ultrasonic transducer for primary and backup liquid level-sensing.
