Challenge
The site was in sandy ground next to a creek. Dewatering and shoring were needed.
What we supplied
An RPEQ certified 4.0m dia x 8.5m deep fibreglass wet well, with a 1.2m high dividing wall forming two separate pump chambers. Also a separate 2.0m x 1.8m x 1.45m deep FRP valve pit.
Result
The FRP components cut on-site construction time and the cost of keeping a safe work area in the excavation. A Mullaly pump station suits sandy soil because it needs less excavation and less shoring, and sand can be used as backfill.
