Lift stations and force mains

Where sewage cannot flow by gravity all the way to a treatment plant, it is collected in a lift station and pumped through a pressurized pipe called a force main to a higher point, from which gravity takes over again. Small developments, commercial sites and low areas often depend on them.

Underground work around a lift station usually covers:

The wet well

The structure where sewage collects; it is cleaned of grease and solids with a vacuum truck so the pumps and floats keep working.

Gravity lines into the station

Inspected and repaired where roots, cracks or settled joints slow the flow.

The force main

Pressure pipe installed by trench or by directional drilling, which suits long pressure lines well, with air release valves where the design calls for them.

Valve and meter vaults

Installed or rebuilt beside the station.

Pumps, controls and electrical work are handled by the station's owner and its specialists; we handle the buried pipe and structures.

We also handle water service, lateral, storm and conduit work for homeowners and businesses in Goose Creek.
