Microsoft Columbia Data Center – Duplicate Wastewater Lift Stations
Project Description
This package lift station was configured to meet the medium sewage flow requirements of a commercial wastewater system. This was the first of four lift stations supplied to Microsoft’s 70-acre data center. Aircraft rated hatches are included for each lift station to handle heavy forklift traffic. Outside the sump, two valve cans provide access to the below-grade check valves. An outdoor UL listed control panel utilizes an intrinsically safe barrier for in-well electrical controls and utilizes float controls for liquid level-sensing.

Why They Chose Romtec Utilities
M+W Group (Civil E.) specified Romtec Utilities to provide four site-specific package lift stations as part of a larger construction project. The lift stations were required to handle sewage and wastewater from extensive cooling systems. M+W Group was responsible for designing this 500,000-square-foot data center. The M+W Group specializes in facilities for technology-based clients but not wastewater lift stations. Romtec Utilities provided the design, engineering, and supply services while meeting the general contractor’s (McKinstry Company) budget for this portion of the project. Utilizing Romtec Utilities for these services provided Microsoft with four lift stations that are all designed with a common layout, operation, and maintenance plan.
