Federal Law Enforcement Training Center – Lift Station Replacement
Project Description
This was a true lift station replacement by installing a new package lift station “in the hole” of the removed wet well. Submersible pumps in a duplex configuration were included to meet the low sewage flows from the federal training facility. The system valves were installed in the discharge piping inside the wet well to reduce cost and simplify the system. An outdoor alternator panel handles the controls for this package lift station. It was designed with floats for liquid level sensing and a basic alarm.

Why They Chose Romtec Utilities
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) contacted Romtec Utilities to design two wastewater lift station replacements. This was the second station installed, and Romtec Utilities helped the FLETC plan both replacement installations to go into the holes of the removed systems. In order to manage influent during removal and installation, Romtec Utilities provided guidance on using bypass pumping for a short period of time. The Native American Services Corporation and Northcon, Inc. acted as the demolition and installing contractors, and Romtec Utilities provided an on-site technician to advise on a speedy installation. This plan limited the reliance on bypass pumping while using the same site for the new lift station.
