Oregon and the West Coast has seen a boom in the development of data centers across the region.

Hillsboro is the fifth largest city in Oregon, situated just to the west of the Portland metro area.

Hillsboro is home to many technology companies and has been known locally as the silicon forest, a nod to Silicon Valley. The city is also home to the Hillsboro Hops, a minor league baseball team who plays in the Northwest League.

T5 Construction Services LLC is the end owner of this wastewater pump station that was needed for the data center.

The civil engineer was Navix Engineering, who reached out to Romtec Utilities looking for assistance with the design of a wastewater lift station for an industrial project for T5 data centers in Hillsboro, OR.

Navix has previously worked with us on another data center project, the DLR OR2-PDX12. Navix provides site and civil engineering services with offices in Bellevue, WA and Clackamas, OR.

Romtec Utilities worked through the design for the system with Navix, including several revisions to the preliminary design. The Romtec Utilities system was specified as the basis of the design and sample drawings provided by Romtec Utilities were used in the bid plans.

Fortis Construction was the general contractor while Coffman Excavation was awarded the utility work and installed the pump station that Romtec Utilities designed and supplied.

Coffman has installed other pumping systems on Romtec Utilities’ projects including the PDX TCORE and Port of Portland parking structure development. Coffman provides site preparation, street construction, utility installation, along with other construction services.

If you are looking at developing a data center and need a stormwater or wastewater pump station, at Romtec Utilities we can provide the design and supply of the system. We have an experienced team providing hundreds of pump systems for companies and governments across the country.
