Projects - Water Pump Stations

Some of our Pump Station projects include:

David Avenue Pump Station

City of Coquitlam, B.C.



 
East Aldergrove Pump Station

Township of Langley, B.C.



 
Old Yale Boost Pump Station

City of Abbotsford, B.C.


City of Coquitlam David Avenue Pump Station


The North East Coquitlam area will ultimately sustain a population of approximately 42,000 people. A series of water distribution system improvements are required to ultimately supply these demands. The David avenue pump station forms an integral component of the new supply system with a capacity of 355l/s, the David Avenue pump station will supply the equivalent of a 30,000 population.

The station was designed for a 1:465 year seismic event and required extensive retaining structures. Four vertical turbine pumps with a capacity of 128l/s @ 106m head were designed to meet the ultimate demand. Variable speed drives were required to meet the interim demands and address the high interim system operating pressures, until additional distribution piping upgrades are completed. The station static discharge pressure of 210m required 300# flange ratings and review of all mechanical component design operating pressures.

 

Station features included, a 7.0m high pump bay with overhead crane, separate standby generator room, with a 500kw generator and automatic transfer switch. A separate motor control room was provided and the station is controlled with a Modicon PLC and Modbus network. The station communicates with the City works yard via a Unitec RTU and Johnson 900MHz radio.


 

 

Township of Langley East Aldergrove Pump Station

Water is supplied to the East Aldergrove area of Langley from a series of groundwater wells, which are treated at the Water treatment plant and pumped into the surrounding distribution system. In the late 1970’s the East Aldergrove reservoir was constructed as a 30m high prestressed circular tank, with common inlet and outlet piping. As a result of this arrangement only the top one third of the storage volume can be effectively utilized, without significant HGL drop within the zone.

The East Aldergove booster pump station was designed to draw out of the existing 1.4MIgal reservoir and boost pressure in the zone, to supply an ultimate population of approximately 15,000 people while maximizing the storage volume of the reservoir.

The pump station was designed with four (4) 60 HP duty pumps , and One standby each rated at 156l/s @ 22m TDH. Peak hour and fire flow requirements are met through the combination of the four duty pumps, while a small jockey pump provides low flows.

Architecturally the station consists of concrete block walls, pitch tapered glulam beams, 4 x 4 tongue and groove wood planking under metal clad roofing.

 

 

 

 

 

City of Abbotsford Old Yale Boost Pump Station

The Old Yale Booster Pump Station, supplies water to the western portions of the City of Abbotsford, via a new 600mm DI watermain along the Fraser Highway.
 
This expansion includes two additional 200hp VTP pumps and room for a third spare. An upgrade was undertaken the previous year to add a single 200hp pump and with the completion of this expansion a total of three new 200hp VTP pumps will provide fire and domestic protection to an ultimate population of approximately 20,000 people.
