pumping stations
Version :
Standard
Process :
Prefabricated
System :
Preassembled
Application :
Commercial
Our fully pre-assembled pumping stations can be used in a wide range of applications. Whether for pumping untreated raw sewage or partially or fully treated effluent, we integrate our pumping solutions into any of our concrete tanks, regardless of size.
We can meet all your pumping needs, including lift stations, dosing tanks, and equalization tanks. These are available in single (simplex) or dual (duplex) submersible pump configurations, all controlled by a control panel equipped with an alarm and optional remote alarm transmission. Several options are available, such as aluminum access hatches, ladders, guide bars, debris baskets, etc.
Quick installation
Fully prefabricated for quick installation on site.
Sustainability
High-strength reinforced concrete for extended service life.
Compliance
Our tanks are manufactured in accordance with standards authorized by the MELCFFP, namely CSA B-66 and/or NQ 3680-905.
Your questions, our answers
How to determine the appropriate size of the wet pit?
The size of a wet pit is determined by several criteria: the flow rate to be managed, the volume of water to be accumulated, the frequency of pumping cycles, the depth available on site, and the type of application (rainwater, drainage, or wastewater). The goal is to ensure sufficient volume to allow the pumps to operate efficiently, avoid excessive starts, and prevent overflows during peak periods.
How do you choose the type of pump (submersible vs. dry)?
The choice depends mainly on the installation environment and maintenance requirements:
-
Submersible pump: installed directly in the pit, it is compact, common, and generally easier to integrate.
-
Dry pump (installation outside the pit): installed in a separate chamber, it facilitates access for maintenance and can be advantageous for certain more complex projects.
The type of water being pumped (contaminated or not), site accessibility, and operating requirements also influence the choice.
When should you use a bar screen or a sieve?
A screen or strainer is recommended when the water may contain debris (leaves, branches, solids, or residue) that could block or damage the pumps. It is particularly useful in installations where there is a risk of material accumulation, in order to protect the system, reduce blockages, and ensure reliable operation.
How often should the wet pit be cleaned?
The frequency varies depending on usage and the amount of debris present, but it is recommended to schedule cleaning on a regular basis (often seasonally or depending on the level of accumulation). Preventive maintenance helps limit odors, prevent deposits at the bottom of the pit, reduce the risk of blockages, and extend the life of the equipment.
