Lift Stations & Grinder Pumps

The design considers the flow to be handled, pumping conditions, receiving connection and power supply. Existing equipment data and site elevations help with both new installations and troubleshooting.

An engineer may be needed for a new pumped connection, a capacity change or a redesign of an existing installation.

Confirm the engineering scope with the professional you engage and any permit requirements with the local building department.

Topics that may be relevant to the review: cleanout, drainfield, sanitary sewer, septic system, septic tank and sewer lateral.

The engineer can review existing conditions, evaluate the proposed changes and prepare the calculations or design details included in the agreed scope.
