Pump Stations

Pump stations are the driving force behind a dependable water distribution system, ensuring that clean, safe water reaches homes, businesses, and critical facilities every day. Whether boosting pressure, overcoming elevation changes, or transferring water from source to storage, a well-designed pump station is essential to system reliability, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance.

At Tata & Howard, we specialize in designing and upgrading pump stations that operate efficiently, integrate smoothly with the broader water system, and stand up to decades of service.

Comprehensive Pump Station Engineering Services

We offer complete planning, design, and operational support for new pump stations, rehabilitations, and system-wide upgrades. Our team integrates hydraulic expertise and advanced control technologies to deliver stations that perform reliably and cost-effectively.

A successful pump station must balance performance, reliability, and maintainability, and our approach ensures seamless system operation:

  • Hydraulic modeling and system analysis to determine optimal pump sizing, pressure requirements, and system configuration.
  • SCADA system design and integration to provide real-time monitoring, control, and alarming.
  • Chemical feed system design, including disinfection, corrosion control, fluoridation systems, pH adjustment, and iron and manganese sequestering.
  • Energy efficiency evaluations to reduce power consumption and long-term operating costs.
  • Generator and backup power systems to ensure uninterrupted operation during outages or emergencies.
  • Rehabilitation and modernization of existing pump stations to extend service life and improve safety and performance.

Why Pump Stations Matter to System Resilience

Pump stations are a cornerstone of water system reliability. When properly designed and maintained, they accomplish the following:

  • Ensure consistent water pressure across the distribution network
  • Support fire protection and peak demand
  • Improve system redundancy and operational flexibility
  • Reduce unplanned outages and costly emergency repairs
  • Extend the life of pipelines, tanks, and treatment infrastructure
  • Enhance water quality through stable pressure and flow conditions

A robust pump station design pays off in long-term operational stability, cost savings, and customer confidence.
