Intake pump stations are essential components for water supply systems, but their location on or adjacent to rivers and lakes makes them challenging to design, build and operate. Multiple competing criteria are at play, including schedule, cost, resiliency needs, permitting/regulatory standards, site conditions and capacity. Innovative design approaches can offer solutions but might not address all your criteria. Join us to examine several different innovative approaches for intake pump station design and learn how to evaluate which might be the best fit for you.
