SPOTLIGHT PROJECT

Mixed-Use Development Stormwater Pump Station

Romtec Utilities partnered with engineers, contractors, and developers to deliver a high-capacity stormwater pumping system for Hampton Park, a $250 million mixed-use development in Capitol Heights, Maryland. The project transformed a long-vacant retail site into a pedestrian-friendly destination.

Overview

Hampton Park, formerly known as Hampton Mall, was a 25-acre site that was being redeveloped into a mixed-use community with housing, retail space, hospitality, and public services. To support the scale and density of the redevelopment, a stormwater pump station was required to manage runoff, mitigate flood risk, and protect public safety throughout the site.

The project was a joint venture between Velocity Companies and ARCTrust, with Soletz LLC serving as the site engineer. Romtec Utilities was selected to design and manufacture a pumping system tailored to the site's specific drainage demands.

Key system features 

• Peak inflow capacity of nearly 11,000 gallons per minute.
• Triplex configuration with three 25 HP Keen pumps, each capable of over 3,600 GPM
• 12-foot diameter wet well
• H20-rated access hatch
• Ductile iron piping
• Tide flex check valves
• Pressure transducers for level control
• Stainless steel inlet diffuser panel, guide rails, divider baffles, and quick-connect discharge elbows.
  
  

Challenge:  Designing a System That Can Handle it All

Hampton Park combines commercial, residential, and green space elements in a dense, urban site. The stormwater system needed to handle intense rainfall events while protecting parking areas, buildings, and public spaces - all within a small footprint, and in compliance with municipal and environmental standard.

Solution: A Complete Pre-Packaged Stormwater Pump Station by Romtec Utilities

Romtec Utilities designed and manufactured a site-specific stormwater pump station capable of managing extreme runoff conditions with built-in redundancy and durable components. The system was engineered to integrate seamlessly into the development, providing reliable flood protection while supporting long-term operation and maintenance needs.

Romtec Utilities was selected for its ability to provide a custom-engineered solution that met all the requirements while reducing installation time. The company's proven track record in stormwater pump station design, combined with comprehensive operation and maintenance support, made Romtec Utilities the ideal partner for the project.
