Water lifting and distribution

Description

We worked on a comprehensive hydraulic project aimed at modernizing and securing a water pumping and distribution system.

The work included the supply and installation of a piezometric level sensor, as well as two additional level bulbs allowing for a switch to backup mode in the event of failure. The old pipes and distribution chamber were removed, and a 25 cm layer of compacted sand was excavated for storage. Filter sand that meets technical recommendations (DTU – grain size 02/04 mm) has been installed, ensuring better filtration and durability.

We then installed two overhead power supply networks:

  • A DN 110 mm discharge network
  • Feed combs in DN 50 (HDPE 63 mm)

The lifting station has also been reinforced with the replacement of the grating with a fiberglass-reinforced polyester model, and the chains on the lifting pumps have been replaced with 316L stainless steel chains for improved corrosion resistance. Finally, a Merill C1000 frost-proof faucet was supplied and installed to ensure reliable use in all seasons.

Careful design for performance, safety, and sustainability.

Details of the project

Primary treatment
  • A decanter-digester with a diameter of 4.5 m, a height of 3.4 m, and a volume of 54 m³.
  • A lift station equipped with an aerator-floater and two pumps. The structure has a volume of 5 cubic meters, a surface area of 3.8 square meters, and a height of 2 meters.
  • The pumps at the all-water station are controlled using level bulbs.
Sand filters
  • Two filters covering a total surface area of 460 m² fed by above-ground drains
  • Filters are alternated once a week.
Discharge structure
  • Sampling port
