COURSE NUMBER: FHWA-NHI-135028
COURSE TITLE: Stormwater Pump Station Design
FISCAL YEAR LENGTH CEU FEE
20101 Days0.6 Units$320 Per Participant

TRAINING LEVEL: Intermediate

CLASS SIZE: Minimum:20;  Maximum:30

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.
