Pre-Engineered Solution Delivers Cost Savings, Safety, and Long-Term Flexibility
LENEXA (Kan.) – Smith & Loveless Inc. highlights the CAPSULAR® Underground Pump Station, a pre-engineered, factory-built solution designed for large-flow pumping applications. Engineered for deep-set installations, the CAPSULAR® system delivers unmatched safety, cost efficiency, and adaptability, offering a streamlined alternative to conventional built-in-place concrete stations.
Each CAPSULAR® Underground Pump Station integrates rugged S&L Star-One™ Non-Clog Pumps, touchscreen controls, and advanced safety features within a durable steel chamber. Compared to concrete installations, the pre-engineered design can achieve up to 30 percent savings on design and construction costs, thanks to the extensive mechanical, electrical, and structural engineering already built into the CAPSULAR® system. Each station is factory-assembled, fully tested, and shipped ready for site placement and connection, minimizing field installation time and reducing startup issues.
The CAPSULAR® design promotes safe and efficient operation with the exclusive SAFE-STAIR™ Entry Module, which mirrors standard stairways found in most public buildings to ensure easy underground access. Spacious interiors with optional HVAC systems, desks, and sinks allow for continuous human occupancy and enhance operator comfort and safety. The fluted wall design, combined with 50-year cathodic protection and VERSAPOX® coating, provides long-term corrosion resistance and structural integrity without external I-beams.
Built for the future, CAPSULAR® Pump Stations are easily adaptable for changing flow requirements related to population growth or infrastructure expansion. Adjustments to rotating assemblies or controls can be made with minimal modifications, ensuring flexibility throughout the system’s service life. The combination of high-quality factory testing, proven reliability, and customizable features results in a lower total installed and lifetime cost compared to traditional designs.
