Lift Station Project Receives Immediate Design-Build Recognition

CASE STUDY: Pumping Systems

When a St. Louis area high school determined it needed to replace an underground pump station after nearly 40 years of faithful service, school officials implemented a best value approach to the project with a local design-build firm. They evaluated three options: (1) replace all of the pumps and valves in the existing buried pit, along with associated electrical and control work; (2) abandon the dry pump pit and install submersible pumps into the existing wet well; and (3) install a Smith & Loveless Wet Well Mounted Station on top of the existing wet well.

With input from the school’s staff and thorough assistance from S&L rep firm Municipal Equipment Co., the third option was selected because the above-grade concept demonstrated a more economical approach, not to mention the significantly safer and easier access to the pumps for inspection and O&M.

 

 

The solution was S&L's EVERLAST™ Wet Well Mounted Pump Station.  To continue with this case study, please complete the form at right.
