City of New Westminster Queensborough - Carter Street Drainage Pump Station Replacement

As a part of the Queensborough Drainage program, a new 2.5 m3/s drainage pump station was provided to drain approximately one-fourth of the Queensborough drainage area.

The $2M Carter St. pump station collects drainage from about a quarter of Queensborough catchment area, and discharges the water to the Fraser River. The station incorporates two 85Hp. variable speed, propeller type pumps and one 10Hp duty pump. A diesel powered 225Kw generator provides standby power, and the station incorporates a PLC control with a radio link to the City’s SCADA system.

Other work in the drainage program upgraded culverts, storm pipes, and ditches to increase the conveyance of the storm water to the pump stations.
