Heritage Lift

Heritage Lift Malta, Montana, this is a small municipal lift station that was completely out of service. The City employees were pumping it with portable trash pumps multiple times a day. With winter fast approaching the City knew that this type of pumping would not work long term so the City reached out to us for a solution. We quickly mobilized with our electric submersible sewer bypass equipment and found that the power company was only supplying one phase of power. We expedited the new submersible pumps, slide rail bases, check valves and plug valves. Once all the equipment was received, we moved the bypass equipment out of the wet well so that we could set the new pumps in. We found that the base in the wet well was a steel plate. This changed how we drilled the bases, but things like this should be expected when working on infrastructure that is 60 years old. Once the bases were mounted and the new discharge piping was installed the system was started. The challenge of this project was the time constraints required for the equipment and making sure that what we got was correct and adequate for the project.
