Pump
Station
Construction
Wet well construction, mechanical installation, control system integration, and force main connection — complete pump station delivery from excavation to start-up.
From Grade
To Start-Up
Pump station work spans civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical disciplines. Our scope covers everything up to electrical rough-in — wet well, force main, valves, and piping — coordinated with the electrical and mechanical subs under one civil prime.
Pre-cast concrete wet well installation — excavation, dewatering, bedding, setting, and grouting of the wet well structure. Base slab poured on-site or pre-cast set and connected to the barrel sections.
Submersible pump setting, guide rail systems, discharge piping, check valves, and gate valves installed inside the wet well and in the valve vault. All piping pressure-tested before start-up.
Force main installation from the pump station discharge to the receiving system — DI, HDPE, or PVC per design. Air release valves, cleanouts, and all appurtenances included in scope.
Motor control center and SCADA panel pad and enclosure construction, conduit routing from panel to wet well, and coordination with the electrical and controls contractor for final connection and commissioning.
Structural rehabilitation of existing wet wells — concrete lining, base reconstruction, pipe penetration repairs, and coating. Existing pump replacement and valve vault upgrades within the existing structure.
Emergency bypass pumping, wet well dewatering, and emergency structural repairs for pump stations that have failed or been compromised. On-call crews with bypass equipment ready to mobilize.
The Field
Protocol
Pump station construction requires coordinating the civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical scopes in the right sequence. Getting the wet well in the ground and the force main run before the mechanical contractor arrives is the job.
Wet well excavation to design depth with continuous dewatering. Cofferdams or sheeting where groundwater conditions require it. Subbase compacted and inspected before the wet well is lowered.
Pre-cast sections set, joints grouted and sealed, pipe penetrations cored and booted to the design invert. Influent sewer connection made and watertight before backfill begins.
Force main installed from discharge flange to the connection point. Valve vault set, discharge piping, check valves, and gate valves installed. Pressure test run before connection to the receiving system.
Site graded, fencing installed, conduit from panel to wet well complete. Pump setting and commissioning coordinated with the mechanical contractor and the municipal operator before acceptance.
Where We
Build It
Municipal sewer lift stations, stormwater pump stations, and combined sewer overflow control — if it needs a wet well, pumps, and a force main, we build it.
New lift station construction for collection system extensions and low-lying service areas where gravity drainage to the treatment plant isn't possible.
Structural rehabilitation of aging wet wells — base reconstruction, wall lining, pipe penetration repair, and coating systems that extend the service life of the existing structure by 30+ years.
Stormwater lift stations for low-lying areas, parking structures, and roadway underpasses — wet well sized for peak storm event flow, pumps specified for the required detention time.
Force main replacement and extension programs — miles of pressure sewer from pump stations to receiving manholes, including air release valves, cleanouts, and connection to existing gravity systems.
Combined sewer overflow control infrastructure — storage basins, pump-back stations, and equalization facilities built to regulatory schedule as part of DEP consent order compliance programs.
Emergency bypass pumping for failed pump stations or planned wet well rehabilitation — bypass setup, high-volume pumping, and full restoration before the bypass is removed and flow is returned.
Wet Well
To Discharge
Pump station work is delivered to the standards of the municipal authority having jurisdiction — DEP, the local DPW, and the design engineer. Every wet well we build meets the applicable section of the Ten States Standards and MassDEP Title 5 requirements.
Our civil scope on pump station projects covers excavation, wet well installation, force main, valve vault, site work, and conduit routing — everything the mechanical and electrical contractors need already in place when they arrive.
We have experience working under consent orders and DEP compliance schedules where pump station delivery is tied to a regulatory milestone. We understand the consequences of a missed substantial completion date in those programs.
