This project involved retrofitting the Merritt and Faka Union Pump stations with new recharge pumps to provide cooling water to the discharge basin when the canal water is too low. The project included piping, control panels, pump, and electrical systems.
This project involved retrofitting the Merritt and Faka Union Pump stations with new recharge pumps to provide cooling water to the discharge basin when the canal water is too low. The project included piping, control panels, pump, and electrical systems. Some installations occurred underwater and were performed by certified divers under ETS’ direction.
During the project, ETS had to redesign the pump configurations to include air release valves ommitted during the original design. ETS also suggested time delay and pump failure alarms be added to the control panel as well as a fail safe to automatically turn on the 2nd pump should the first pump fail.
