WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/058147
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The portable steel-reinforced HDPE pump station (10) includes a vertically upright, cylindrical wet well (216) fabricated from steel-reinforced plastic. Pumps (18) are disposed in the wet well (216). A pipe (28) connected to the pumps (18) extends to the outside of the wet well (216) to allow outflow of water to external systems. An access hatch (22) covers the upper portion of the wet well (216) and is arranged above grade. The remainder of the wet well (216) is disposed in the ground, below grade. Vertically disposed sliding rails (218) are attached inside the wet well (216), and extend upward from a working area of the well (216) to the top of the well (216) near the access hatch (22). The pumps (18) are slidably attached to the rails (218) to facilitate sliding installation and removal of the pumps (18) by way of the access hatch (22). A water-receiving inlet pipe (11) extends into the wet well (216), the inlet pipe (11) allowing entry of water inside the well (216).
