Wastewater lift stations challenge gravity’s pull by moving wastewater from lower to higher elevations. The typical design is complex, but includes a wastewater receiving well (called a wet-well), pumps and piping, motors, a power supply, equipment controls and alarm systems, plus odor control systems. We have engineered and installed industrial, institutional and municipal lift station systems all over the State of Florida.
SanPik takes special pride in providing our team with our own in-house training on all the wastewater lift station system components. By properly installing a wastewater lift station, we can help reduce the cost of gravity feed sewer systems. Well-laid pumps allow the same sewer flow using smaller pipelines at a shallower depth, rather than using larger and more expensive gravity fed systems that require installation at greater depths.
Safety is our number one concern when preforming these deep excavations. SanPik has many years of experience utilizing traditional trench boxes, sheeting and shoring, and slide rail systems. SanPik has worked directly with engineers to design shoring systems to accomplish deep excavations to comply with OSHA trench safety standards.

Working for Wharton Smith Inc., SanPik completed the installation of approximately 4,000ft of Force Main, Gravity Sewer, Stormwater Drainage and a 24” Injection Line. Despite the site being heavily congested, SanPik was able to plan efficiently with numerous subcontractors and maintain a tight schedule to complete the scope of work on time.

We were called on to install a new sanitary 10ft diameter lift station along with two manholes and the associated gravity and force main piping in a tight dead-end corner of Consumer Ct., in the City of Ocoee. We were able to self-preform the necessary de-watering for the 30ft excavation. A 30ft by 20ft by 18ft slide rail trench box was utilized to maintain a safe work environment. We delivered the project on time, on budget, and with no change orders.
