The term “packaged pump station” has grown in popularity over the years, and it is not without good reason. Pump stations are sophisticated systems that require extensive engineering, and many people assume “packaged” means an off-the-shelf system engineered as a one-size-fits-all solution. This would indeed make purchasing pumping systems as easy as buying a car, but this approach is flawed and is not what “packaged” actually means. Labeling a system as a package describes a pumping system that is engineered as a single, functional unit and not an assortment of components. Each package is designed for the unique requirements of the specific project.
Romtec Utilities designs, manufactures, and supplies packaged pumping systems because of the distinct advantages the packaged approach provides to owners, engineers, and contractors/developers. These advantages include site-specific engineering, owner preferred components and brands, system reliability, and meeting specified design standards. These advantages do not exist with an off-the-shelf system.
Each package pump station is designed and engineered by Romtec Utilities to meet the pumping requirements and code requirements of each unique site. Each pumping system gets a complete design and submittal document with a full scope of work that defines the roles of each entity involved in the project. This document is created for every packaged system to ensure that the entire process runs smoothly through each project phase. This type of site-specific documentation is very beneficial when a pumping system is integrated into a larger project.
Another advantage of getting site-specific design and engineering with a packaged pump station is that the system owner can specify preferred brands or components to meet design standards or specific understanding. In many cases, organizations will have preferences for one type of technology over another or one brand over another. Romtec Utilities does not have any exclusive relationships with component manufacturers. This means that each packaged pump station can get the exact components desired at a lower cost. An off-the-shelf system cannot provide this advantage.
Packaged pumping systems from Romtec Utilities are more reliable than systems developed through a standard process and off-the-shelf systems. The Romtec Utilities’ engineering staff specializes exclusively in pumping systems. We meet exact design criteria with the most effective system design for each specific application. Our package is designed to handle your exact project needs and requirements.
Many public and private organization maintain specific design standards for pumping systems. Design standards are developed to improve the maintenance, training, cost, reliability, and safety of a pump station. Romtec Utilities works to meet the design standards of many different agencies every day. Our engineers understand how to meet public and private standards and can do it faster than other design approaches. Our packaged pumping systems are packaged per the design standard specifications. An off-the-shelf package cannot meet these standards.
When you contact Romtec Utilities for a packaged pumping system, you are getting a complete system that is designed for your specific project and is supplied as a single package ready for installation. The benefits of this approach are that you get a fast, reliable, and fully documented pumping system that meets the specific design criteria of your project.
