Pump Station Flow Monitoring

Comprehensive Monitoring Capabilities:

Our advanced monitoring solutions capture a wide array of critical parameters essential for pump station monitoring applications.

Pump Status and Run Times: Continuous tracking of pump status and run times helps in assessing the operational efficiency of the pump stations. This data is crucial for maintenance scheduling and ensuring that pumps are operating within their optimal parameters.
Wet Well Levels: Monitoring the levels in wet wells allows for the management of inflow and prevents overflow situations. This is particularly important in wastewater management, where overflow can lead to environmental contamination and regulatory penalties.
Flow Rates: Accurate measurement of flow rates provides insights into the performance of the pump station and helps in detecting any anomalies that may indicate blockages or leaks.
Discharge Pressure: Tracking discharge pressure is essential for ensuring that the pump station is operating efficiently. High discharge pressures can indicate issues such as blockages or increased friction loss within the discharge lines. *Unsure if we should use this bullet point.

Integration with GoData Web Hosting:

The GoData web hosting and alarming system is a pivotal component of our monitoring solutions. This platform provides a user-friendly interface for data collection, storage, and analysis.

Key features of the GoData system include:

Real-Time Data Acquisition: Continuous real-time monitoring ensures that data is up-to-date, allowing for prompt decision-making and timely responses to any issues that arise.
Remote Accessibility: The web-based platform enables remote access to data, making it convenient for managers and operators to monitor pump station performance from anywhere.
Alarming System: The integrated alarming system sends immediate notifications in case of any critical events, such as pump failures, high wet well levels, or abnormal discharge pressures. This allows for rapid intervention to mitigate potential issues.

Investigator™ Identifies Hidden Restriction Impacting New Housing Development in Mercer Island, WA

To support a large-scale housing development in Mercer Island, Washington, the city retained an engineering consultant to model and assess flow capacity in a key section of their water distribution network. The focus was a 12-inch cast iron watermain that would serve as the primary feed for the new subdivision. However, hydraulic modeling and flow testing showed that the main was performing more like a 4-inch to 6-inch line—raising serious concerns about capacity shortfalls.
