DESCRIPTION:
This course provides an overview of the location and type selection of stormwater pump stations. A major portion of the course is devoted to recommended hydraulic design procedures for sizing and optimizing stormwater pump stations. This course is also offered
as a 1-day add-on to FHWA-NHI-135027 Urban Drainage Design. Topics to be discussed include, site considerations, hydrology, storage, pump configuration, mass curve routing, pump selection, sump dimensions, and mechanical and electrical considerations.
OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Determine locations where pump stations are appropriate
- List types of pumps and pump stations
- Apply basic hydraulic principles to accomplish graphical mass curve routing
- Size pumps and determine start/stop elevations
- Determine storage volume needed
- Size wet wells according to industry standards
TARGET AUDIENCE:
Highway designers with some experience in storm drainage design, familiarity with mathematical concepts such as algebra and geometry, and a working background in hydraulics and hydrology.
