Walmart in Gardnerville, Nevada – Stormwater Detention Pond Pumping
Project Description
A new Walmart Supercenter required this package stormwater pump station to handle runoff from its large impervious parking lot. A good sized detention basin collects the runoff water during a storm event, including from surrounding properties. Ebara submersible pumps then empty the detention pond at a high flow rate through just 45’ of force main into a gravity line that flows to treatment. An outdoor UL listed control panel includes float controls for primary and backup liquid level-sensing and a basic alarm for communications.

Why They Chose Romtec Utilities
Large commercial construction projects, like this Walmart Supercenter, will frequently rely on multiple agencies. Working with Pentacor Engineering (Civil E.) and Walmart, Romtec Utilities designed a “site specific” package pump station that met the pumping requirements and cost less than poured in place concrete. Pentacor Engineering included the Romtec Utilities design and scope of supply and services in its bid specification. Romtec Utilities then worked with Atlas Contractors, the winning bidder, to get the design documents finalized and approved, while meeting its budget. In the end, Pentacor Engineering, Atlas Contractors, and Walmart had all their needs met by working with Romtec Utilities.
