We were pleased to work with Olson Engineering and Clark County Regional Water District, to provide this wastewater lift station pump system for a commercial business park in Vancouver, Washington at the Bowyer Marketplace. Vancouver, Washington is a major city in the southwest portion of the state on the edge of the border with Oregon, that sits along the scenic Columbia River.

As the county seat of Clark County, it had a population of 190,915 as of the 2020 census, making it the fourth most populous city in the state.

The city is part of the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area, which is the 25th largest metro area in the U.S. It was founded in 1825 around Fort Vancouver which was a fur trading post run by the Hudson Bay Company. A replica of the fort still stands today at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.

Some of the attractions include Royal Oaks Country Club, Wintler Community Park, David Douglas Park, Meadowbrook Marsh Park, Sam Brown Park, Meadow Homes Park, Marine Park, Pearson Air Museum, Marshall Park, Frenchman’s Bar Regional Park, and Harmony Sports Complex.

Olson Engineering contacted Romtec Utilities in the early phases of construction for a new commercial business park. The developer, Green Prairie, LLC, needed to install a wastewater lift station per the Clark County Regional Water District standards before the development could progress.

Olson Engineering and the District worked with Romtec Utilities to design this project in compliance with the County’s standards.

For Romtec Utilities, the design was straightforward because Clark County had worked with us on previous projects to establish its pump system design standards. This project was simple from a design point of view because Romtec Utilities understood what criteria were needed to get this system approved.

Robertson and Olson Construction was the contractor who installed the wastewater lift station on behalf of Green Prairie. Olson Engineering is a civil engineering company based in Washington. Robertson and Olson Construction is a general contractor based in Camas, Washington.

This package lift station was designed to meet municipal standards for medium sewage flows at this new commercial complex.

The duplex pump configuration and solids-handling pumps provide suitable preventative measures for a reliable and long-term wastewater infrastructure. The below-grade valve assembly included swing check valves, a pigging port, and flow meters. An on-site permanent generator and sheltered outdoor PLC control panel provide robust and programmable controls. An ultrasonic transducer and a two-float backup comprise the liquid level sensing controls.

The pump system features an 8’ diameter wet well, 4” discharge piping, Flygt pumps, and 4” – 612 valve vault. This commercial business park wastewater lift station can pump 198 gallons per minute with a total dynamic head of 51’.
