Sewage Lifts, Pump Stations & What You Need to Know

All About Sewage Lift Stations and Pump Station Designs

When it comes to topics of conversation, sewage lift stations and pump station designs are not exactly go-to subjects. However, without these Southern Associates’ products, life and the world around us, would not be quite as pleasant.

Southern Associates has been designing, building and installing these lift stations in the state osewage lift stations and pump station designsf Georgia for over 13 years. Southern Associates was incorporated in 2003 by Steven Dalton. Dalton is the president of the company and continues to serve as a Pump Station Design Engineer, Sewer Pump Station Service Engineer and a Licensed Utility Manager. Southern Associates has installed sewer pump stations and water booster stations throughout metro-Atlanta.

What is a sewage lift station?

According to Wikipedia, a sewage lift stations, or pumping stations, are “facilities including pumps and equipment for pumping fluids from one place to another. They are used for a variety of infrastructure systems, such as the supply of water to canals, the drainage of low-lying land, and the removal of sewage to processing sites. A pumping station is, by definition, an integral part of a pumped-storage hydroelectricity installation.” So basically, lift stations help sewage fight gravity by pumping the contents up and through the network of pipes in order to get to a treatment facility to be treated and processed.

Are all SEWAGE pumps the same?

Not all lift pumps are created equal. In the design of pump stations and the installation of sewage lift stations, the type of structure, residential or commercial, has to be considered. We’ve not only installed stations for apartment complexes and home residents, but also commercial property managers, restaurants, and churches. Because some of these are owned and operated by private entities, such as homeowner’s associations, we also provide preventative maintenance service contracts for sewer pump stations.

Here are just a few types of Southern Associates pump stations and their uses:

  1. Submersible Non-Clog
  2. Submersible Grinder
  3. Wet-well Mounted (Vacuum or Self-primed)
  4. Factory-built Dry Pit station with separate wet well
  5. Wet Pit / Dry Pit Station

Paulding County Sheriff’s Training Center Pump Station

IMG_0787-300x225Southern Associates is pleased to announce that it has has recently completed the Paulding County Sheriff’s Training Center Pump Station project. Before installation could be begin, the site had to be excavated to fit the 10′ diameter by 22.5′ deep precast concrete wet well. Once the pit was excavated, a mobile 160 ton crane was used to set the precast 10′ diameter wet well sections.
After the well was installed, the Smith & Loveless packaged pump station was placed on top of the well. Then the electrical conduits were buried and the pump station pad was prepped for the security fence installation and pouring of the 55’x55′ reinforced concrete pad. While the soon-to-be-installed generator was in transit, the security fence and concrete pad were completed. The Generac 150 kW generator was specified with a Class 2 sound proof enclosure because there will be office buildings located close to the pump station.

Acworth Pump Station force main repair

IMG_0755-300x225Southern Associates is pleased to announce that it has has recently completed the Acworth Pump Station force main repair project. The force main had a leak approximately 3.5′ from wet well that needed to be excavated, cut and repaired with a solid 2″ sleeve. Because the breaks in both of the pipes occurred during the ice storm of January 2014, we assume they were caused by water freezing in the pipes, even though this seems unlikely.

After digging down to the root of the problem, we discovered both discharge pipes were broken between the 90 degree elbows and the exit through the side of the wet well. The repairs of both lines were completed by cutting the discharge pipes below the elbows, installing solid 2″ sleeves, and replacing the piping from the below the elbows all the way to the exit at the side of the wet well.
