Why They Chose Romtec Utilities
Romtec Utilities based the preliminary design of sample systems owned by the City of Kimberly as the city does not have written standards. Romtec Utilities submitted to the civil engineer on this project, Project Engineering Consultants (Consor Engineering) who then submitted to the City of Kimberly for approval.
Following the project, PEC was bought out by Consor Engineering. Consor is a project engineering consultant providing a variety of engineering services with several offices throughout the U.S.
The Idaho wastewater lift station that Romtec Utilities designed and supplied features duplex submersible Sulzer pumps, a Micrologix 1400 PLC primary controller, pressure transducer, a precast 5106 valve vault, and a 6’ ID x 16.66 deep wet well.
We were pleased to partner with PEC (Consor Engineering), 3 Emeralds, LLC, and the City of Kimberly on this wastewater lift station for Olsen Farms in Kimberly, Idaho.
At Romtec Utilities, we design, manufacture, and supply wastewater pump stations for housing developments all over the country working with developers, municipalities, engineers, and various other contractors. Our designers work directly with the various players to create a pumping system that meets the project’s needs while prioritizing budget, design, configuration, and controls.
We provide pumping systems for wastewater, stormwater, industrial water, clean water, and booster stations.
If you have a housing development, we can work with the developer to design a pump system that meets the wastewater pumping requirements, while connecting to the surrounding sewer system.
To ensure proper startup and training. Romtec Utilities sends out a construction advisor to the sight upon installation of the system.
