Romtec Utilities designed and supplied a stormwater pump station for Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital using Flygt submersible pumps and advanced control systems. Learn how this California-based hospital infrastructure project was designed, installed, and commissioned.
Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California, required a new engineered pump system to manage medium flow of stormwater. Patient care and facility operations were top priorities to the project, as the hospital asked Romtec Utilities to create a site-specific solution.
Romtec Utilities had previously delivered two successful pump stations for the hospital, earning the confidence of the project engineer Stantec, who specified Romtec for this third installation.
The new system was modeled after an existing pump station on-site, ensuring consistency and proven performance.
Tierra Contracting, a local construction firm, was awarded the installation contract through a public bid process. Romtec Utilities sold the pump station directly to the contractor and provided on-site guidance throughout the installation process.
The pump station features:
After installation, Romtec's start-up technician commissioned the system and trained hospital personnel on operations and maintenance procedure.
