For this fiberglass lift station in Pahrump, Nevada, the Nye County Public Works required a solution to support the area’s growing infrastructure needs. Romtec Utilities was introduced to the project by the engineering firm, WSI International, to provide an expansion lift station.

Romtec Utilities designed, manufactured, and supplied the complete wastewater lift station to meet the specific pumping requirements of the project.

A Xerxes fiberglass tank was selected for this duplex lift station due to its reliability and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional concrete and steel tanks. These fiberglass tanks are available with double-wall construction and integrated leak detection, providing enhanced environmental protection by preventing leakage or leaching into the surrounding ground.

The lift station is equipped with Flygt pumps, a Siemens ultrasonic pressure transducer, and a Siemens HydroRanger control system housed in a NEMA 4 enclosure. The system is capable of pumping up to 2,500 gallons per minute.

Romtec Utilities partners with communities across the country to provide turnkey wastewater lift station solutions that support infrastructure expansion and growth.

Pahrump, Nevada, is an unincorporated town in Nye County, located near the California border about 62 miles west of Las Vegas. According to the most recent census, the town has a population of 44,738.

Situated at an elevation of 2,697 feet, Pahrump experiences hot, dry summers with significantly cooler nighttime temperatures. Located in the Mojave Desert, Pahrump Valley was historically home to large ranches that produced alfalfa and cotton and supported livestock operations.

The town celebrates its agricultural and western heritage with annual events such as Pahrump Valley Days and a rodeo. Nearby natural attractions include the Nopah Range Wilderness Area, just across the California border, and the renowned Death Valley National Park to the west.

WSI International, LLC brought Romtec Utilities into this project located in Nevada for a wastewater lift station for the Nye County Public Works department. This was after we had completed a fiberglass lift station project in Loleta, California. WSI International was the engineer for this project.

As the community continued to grow, the need for a new wastewater lift station became increasingly evident. Romtec Utilities partnered with TRC, a leading global consulting, engineering, and construction management firm, to develop and deliver the system.

The pump systems have a Xerxes fiberglass barrel, (2) Flygt pumps, Siemens ultrasonic pressure transducer, XPS-15, Siemens HydroRanger control – 3 PHASE / 480V / NEMA 4 enclosure. There is a RACO verbatim autodialer and an electrical junction box with controls to the pump station.

This duplex fiberglass lift station has a Xerxes tank. One of the best design features of fiberglass is its ability to be manufactured with a double-wall and leak detection. A fiberglass tank has a high level of reliability and cost savings compared to concrete and steel tanks.

The duplex fiberglass lift station is designed to pump 2500 gallons per minute. The wet well features a 12′ diameter, 8″ discharge piping, NP3202 Flygt pumps, and a 10″ – 10″ diameter valve vault.

Double-wall fiberglass tanks provide notably robust wet-well material. These tanks prevent a wet well from leaking or leaching into the surrounding environment.

Pahrump Utility Company provides maintenance and upkeep of the pump system. Sati Construction was the installing contractor while M&M Electric, Inc. was the electrical contractor for the installation.

Romtec Utilities was happy to be a part of this duplex fiberglass lift station for Nye County Public Works department in Pahrump, Nevada. For this duplex fiberglass lift station, we work with local municipalities, developers, contractors, and engineers to design the system to meet the pumping needs of the site, project, and surrounding areas.

We provide lift stations for stormwater, wastewater, industrial process water, and others. As communities grow and expand, sometimes a lift station is required to provide for the pumping needs of new developments or city growth. At Romtec Utilities we design, manufacture, and supply lift stations as a single source, providing on site installation tech, commissioning, training of maintenance personnel, and a robust warranty. We handle all aspects of the lift station, to allow the developers and city or county to focus on other aspects of a project.
