Parkside Pump Station & Pinecrest Pump Station Improvements

The purpose of this project is to retrofit the existing pump stations to improve accessibility, safety, and operational reliability while maintaining the existing service capacity. The existing stations each serve a portion of the local sanitary sewer collection system and are responsible for conveying wastewater from a low-lying service area to the downstream gravity sewer system. Due to the constrained layouts and the existing submersible pump configurations, maintenance personnel currently face restricted access to pumps, piping, and electrical components within the wet well and control areas. This limited accessibility increases maintenance difficulty, prolongs service operations, and may contribute to operational risks during emergency repairs or pump failures. In addition to accessibility concerns, the existing pumps at both stations operate at a flow rate that results in velocities within the force main that are below the generally recommended threshold of approximately 3 ft/s. Upon completion, the rehabilitated pump stations will provide improved maintainability and operational performance while continuing to serve the surrounding sewer collection system effectively. The project is made possible by funds from the City of Pawtucket through the City’s Sewer Bond allocations. The administration of the construction of the project will be managed by the City of Pawtucket & BETA Group, Inc
