This course provides general guidance and principles for the design and layout of flood control pumping stations. The general principles for pumping station design and layout for sumps, types of discharge and arrangements, types of pumps, sump types along with environmental, power and access considerations are discussed. Detailed design for pump stations and layout is presented in manuals as referenced. 

Professionals in the water industry,Planning and design engineers and technical managers. Regulators and government officials

  • Cause study.
  • provide the basic understanding of the principles for the design and layout of pumping stations. Among the factors that must be considered and evaluated for the design and layout of a pumping station are:
  • Hydraulic and hydrologic designs. b. Existing foundation conditions, water table, presence of rock, soils tests for corrosiveness of soil. c. Utility requirements and availability of power and water lines. d. Existing underground utilities; water lines, sanitary sewers, storm drains, gas mains and electric conduits. e. Access for personnel and equipment and O & M. f. Topography, natural boundaries like waterways and streams. g. Property lines, Federal, state and local and political boundaries. h. Inflow and discharge facilities and channels. I. Planned development in the service area. The pumping station could be designed with space for additional or new pumps, motors etc.

BTS attendance certificate will be issued to all attendees completing minimum of 80% of the total course duration.
