Design of High-Capacity Flood/Stormwater Pump Station Projects: Delivery Methods, Challenges, Solutions, and Lessons Learned

The purpose of this presentation is to provide insight to other engineers for the design of high volume, low head stormwater pumping stations. Two case studies will be discussed that illustrate innovative solutions developed using traditional design-bid-build and alternate design-build methods. Lessons learned will be presented to provide engineers guidance when considering similar projects. The […]
