Pump Stations & Lift Stations

Wet wells, pump systems and force mains built to run unattended.

A pump station is only as good as its wet well hydraulics and its controls. We coordinate the civil structure, pumping equipment and electrical systems as one package, then prove them together under load.

Scope of work

  • Wet wells, dry pits and valve vaults
  • Submersible, vertical turbine and dry-pit pumps
  • Force mains and discharge piping
  • Electrical buildings, MCCs and VFDs
  • Standby generators and transfer switches
  • Telemetry, instrumentation and controls

Technical capabilities

  • Deep caissons and sheet-pile excavation
  • Pump installation, alignment and testing
  • Vibration and hydraulic performance testing
  • Bypass pumping while existing stations run
  • Odor control and ventilation
  • SCADA integration and remote monitoring

Small projects, high consequence

A lift station failure is a public health event. We treat the wet-well hydraulics, pump selection and backup power as a single reliability problem, and we test the station across its full operating range before handover.

Working around existing flows

Rehabilitation projects usually require the station to keep pumping. We install temporary pumps and bypass piping, verify capacity, and maintain continuous monitoring until the new system is proven. Shutdown windows are planned with operations and kept short.

Electrical and controls integration

Our electrical partners are involved from preconstruction so the MCC layout, generator interface and telemetry protocol are settled before the building is poured. Start-up is coordinated with the owner’s SCADA team, not handed over as a punch-list item.

Operator-ready closeout

Training covers normal operation, alarm response and manual fallback. Spare parts, recommended stock and maintenance schedules are delivered with the O&M manuals.

How does a contractor get on the Craneway Civil Construction bid list?
Submit the enquiry form on our contact page with your trade, license numbers and a current certificate of insurance. Our estimating team reviews new subcontractors and suppliers weekly. Once approved, you will be added to the bid list for the scopes that match your capabilities and will receive invitations through our estimating system.
What is Craneway Civil Construction’s bonding capacity?
We maintain a $150 million aggregate bonding capacity with a $60 million single-project limit through our surety. Current bonding and financial references are included in our prequalification packet, which can be requested from our estimating team.
Do you self-perform concrete, earthwork and pipeline work?
Yes. Craneway Civil Construction directly employs concrete, carpentry, excavation, paving and pipeline crews. We self-perform the structural concrete, earthwork and underground work that sits on the critical path. Mechanical and electrical work is performed by long-term subcontractor partners who are integrated into preconstruction.
How do you handle traffic control and public impact?
Traffic control is planned during preconstruction with the owner and the local jurisdiction, not improvised in the field. Our work plans identify lane closures, detours, access for emergency services and business entrances before mobilization. For larger corridors we provide public information support, including notices, signage and a staffed project line.
What delivery methods do you offer?
We deliver Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, Progressive Design-Build, CM/GC and CM at Risk. Our preconstruction team can support alternative-delivery pursuits with constructability review, open-book estimating, target-value design and GMP development.
