A new housing development stormwater lift station was needed for a construction project in Huntington Beach, California. This was for a new housing development called Seamark that involved 85 homes being built next to Gisler Park. Fuscoe connected us with the project, as they were the civil engineer and brought us into contact with the developer, Brookfield Properties, and the general contractor, L&S Construction.

The development was sold to Lennar, but L&S Construction still purchased the stormwater system from us. The new housing development is close to a park, school, and a trailhead making it an attractive neighborhood. Romtec Utilities designed, manufactured, and supplied this subdivision stormwater lift station that features KRT 10 horsepower pumps in a duplex configuration with a 6’ wet well, pressure transducer for primary level sensing, and two floats for backup level sensing. This housing development stormwater lift station was critical to the safety of the new homes in this neighborhood.

Huntington Beach, California is a city on the coastline of the Pacific Ocean, southeast of Los Angeles in Orange County.

The population was 198,711 at the 2020 census which is up from 189,992 in 2010.

This city is a hot spot for surfing beaches, and it’s fitting that the area is home to the Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum. The museum has historical information, old longboards, and other surfing memorabilia.

Some other major attractions in the area include Bolsa Chica State Beach, Dog Beach, State Beach, Sunset County Beach, and the Newport Beach Pier.

Two small lift stations (one wastewater and one stormwater) were brought to us by Fuscoe Engineering, Inc. for a new development in Huntington Beach, CA.

They were originally working for the developer, Brookfield Properties, on the overall design for the project. In original conversations, Fuscoe had questions on Romtec Utilities scope (specifically if we provide engineering services) and requested sample projects to present to the developer as we have not worked with Brookfield Properties previously.

We’ve previously worked with Fuscoe on various projects including Doheny Village, House of Ruth, Oak Springs Ranch, the Line, and the Marke. Fuscoe Engineering, Inc. is a civil engineer based in Irvine, California.

Sales provided information on both complete scopes, as well as multiple sample projects for both wastewater and stormwater lift stations. The residential project was later sold to Lennar.

The lift station was purchased by the general contractor, L&S Construction. Sales advised that Romtec Utilities had worked directly for Lennar previously, but Lennar’s preference was to procure the pumping systems through the contractor. Lennar Homes is a home construction company that was the second largest in the U.S. in 2023, quantified by the number of homes sold.

The new single family home community is called Seamark which has 85 homes adjacent to Gisler Park in Huntington Beach. The neighborhood is close to Edison High School and walking distance from the Santa Ana River Trail. Gisler Park has a playground, park benches, open field areas, and walking trails.

The new development needed a stormwater pump system, so Romtec Utilities designed, manufactured, and supplied a system to Lennar via L&S Construction.

L&S Construction is a construction company based in Orange, California providing water, sewer, and storm drain installation services to the residential home building industry.

The stormwater lift station features a 6’ wet well, 6” ductile iron discharge piping, Endress and Hauser pressure transducer for primary level sensing, two NOLTA floats for back level sensing, an auto dialer, and KSB KRT 10 horsepower pumps in a duplex configuration.

The duty point is 460 gallons per minute at 14 TDH. A tract stormwater lift station, like this one typically pumps stormwater lower areas to higher elevations. This stormwater pump system can pump water at a very high rate in the event of storms or a large storm event dropping a large amount of water in a small-time frame.

Romtec Utilities was pleased to be a part of this stormwater lift station for the residential development in partnership with Lennar Homes, Fuscoe Engineering, and L&S Construction.

These new homes are a welcome addition to the area, which help create more housing for a booming surf city. A housing development stormwater pump station, like this effectively provides stormwater pumping to ensure that property damage doesn’t occur from flooding or storm events.

If your development needs a stormwater pump system, contact us at Romtec Utilities where we can work with you to meet your stormwater pumping needs, while keeping the development safe from large storms.

Our team of engineers design each system to meet the exact pumping requirements of the site, meeting local municipal standards, all while working with the end owner’s preferences and budget.
