Challenge
A 40-acre hospital campus relied on aged stormwater lift stations serving parking decks and helipad drainage. Frequent alarms and pump failures risked flooding critical access routes during severe weather.
Solution
- Conducted electrical and hydraulic assessment with campus facilities team
- Installed new duplex submersible pumps sized for future expansion
- Added SCADA-enabled control panel with cellular telemetry, level sensors, and alarm notifications
- Replaced isolation valves, check valves, and force main fittings
- Cleaned wet wells, jet-vacced downstream piping, and CCTV-inspected discharge lines
- Implemented quarterly preventive maintenance program with response time guarantees
Results
- Reduced nuisance alarms by 95% and eliminated emergency pump rentals
- Provided facilities staff with live monitoring dashboards and automated reporting
- Established redundant pump capacity meeting the hospital’s resiliency plan and insurance requirements
