Wastewater Design — Pumping Station Design & Pit Sizing
This one-hour webinar gives participants a practical framework for designing and sizing wastewater pumping stations for commercial-building applications. It starts with the fundamentals of pumping-station design, installation type, site conditions, flow variation, wastewater characteristics, number and size of pumps, inlet positioning, benching, pump placement, and common hydraulic issues such as air entrainment and vortices and then connects those design choices to pit sizing and operating behavior.
The session then moves into pit-sizing logic: minimum volume, effective volume, start/stop distance, cycle period, maximum starts per hour, and how sizing changes for two pumps in alternating operation or parallel duty. Participants will see why the right geometry and control levels matter for avoiding air ingestion, sedimentation, clogging, unnecessary cycling, and poor hydraulic performance.
Professionals Who Would Be Interested in Attending
Professionals who already understand pump fundamentals and selection and are now responsible for reliable, efficient operation and control, including:
- Design engineers working on commercial-building wastewater, drainage, or lift-station applications.
- Consulting engineers and specifiers who need a clearer method for pit sizing, pumping-station layout, and pump duty/standby logic.
- Technical sales and applications engineers supporting wastewater projects and packaged pumping-station discussions.
- Contractors and project teams involved in installation decisions such as inlet arrangement, benching, pump placement, and station geometry.
- Service, commissioning, and support teams who need to understand how design choices affect clogging risk, cycling, air issues, and pump reliability.
- Intermediate learners who already know basic wastewater pumping concepts and want a more structured design-and-sizing approach.
