Lift Stations

Design-Build And Construction Of Wastewater And Stormwater Lift Stations

Lift stations are critical infrastructure for moving wastewater and stormwater where gravity flow isn't possible. They need to be designed right, built fast, and operate reliably for decades.

Systems Group Inc. specializes in the design, construction, and project management of lift stations for municipalities, developers, and consulting engineers. With decades of water and wastewater experience and a track record of operating the majority of the facilities we've built, we understand what makes lift stations reliable over the long term, and we integrate that knowledge into every project.

What We Deliver

Design-Build Delivery

  • Wet well sizing and configuration with cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete, or FRP
  • Pump selection and hydraulic design to meet flow and head requirements
  • Process piping, valves, and manifold design
  • Structural design, including building, platforms, supports, and access systems
  • Electrical and control system design
  • Instrumentation and SCADA integration 
  • Site coordination, including excavation, dewatering, backfill, utilities, and restoration

Bid-Build / Conventional Construction

  • Review of engineered designs with practical constructability input
  • Self-performed mechanical, structural, and process piping scope
  • Coordination of electrical, controls, civil, and other trades
  • Prefabrication of piping, structural components, and building elements to accelerate schedules
  • Commissioning and handover with complete as-built documentation

Pipeline Integration

We ensure seamless integration with existing or new pipelines for efficient wastewater and stormwater transport. Our pipeline integration services include:

  • Force main design and installation (connection from lift station discharge to downstream infrastructure)
  • Gravity sewer tie-ins (inlet piping from upstream collection systems)
  • Coordination with existing municipal infrastructure and utilities
  • Pressure testing, leak testing, and verification
  • As-built documentation and municipal acceptance requirements

Control Systems

We implement real-time monitoring and automated operation using advanced control panels and SCADA systems:

  • Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for pump sequencing, lead/lag control, and alarm management
  • Variable frequency drives (VFDs) for energy efficiency and soft-start operation
  • Level control systems 
  • Flow monitoring and totalizing
  • Remote monitoring and SCADA integration for visibility
  • Alarm notification systems for critical events
  • Remote control capability (where appropriate) for pump operation and setpoint adjustments

Project Management

  • Full project coordination from design through commissioning
  • Schedule management and trade coordination
  • Quality control and design compliance verification
  • Communication with owners, engineers, and municipal stakeholders

Turnkey Lift Station Solutions

We handle all aspects of construction and installation to deliver fully operational lift station systems. From initial design through commissioning and handover, you have a single point of accountability and a system that's ready to perform.

Types of Lift Stations We Build

Wastewater Lift Stations

  • Sanitary sewer lift stations for residential, commercial, and industrial developments
  • Deep excavations (up to 50 feet) with complex dewatering and shoring
  • Cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete, and FRP wet wells
  • Submersible and dry pit pump configurations

Stormwater Lift Stations

  • Stormwater pumping for developments where gravity drainage isn't feasible
  • High-capacity pumping systems for large storm events
  • Integration with stormwater management and detention systems

Combined Systems

  • Facilities serving both sanitary and storm functions (separate wet wells, shared infrastructure)

Trust Systems Group Inc.
for Your Lift Stations

We self-perform the critical scope 

Systems Group Inc. self-performs mechanical, structural, and process piping work. This gives us control over quality, schedule, and problem-solving, and reduces coordination delays.

We integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure 

We coordinate pipeline integration with existing or new force mains and gravity sewers, ensuring efficient wastewater and stormwater transport. We handle tie-ins, pressure testing, and municipal acceptance requirements.

We implement advanced control systems 

We design and install real-time monitoring and automated operation systems using PLCs, VFDs, SCADA integration, and remote alarm notification. You get visibility and control over your lift stations 24/7.

We build for long-term operations 

Because we build  and operatelift stations, Systems designs and constructs with maintainability, reliability, and long-term performance in mind. We know what wears out, what causes problems, and how to build systems that perform reliably for decades.

We prefabricate to accelerate schedules 

We have the capabilities to prefabricate system elements off-site in our shop while site work progresses. This approach:

  • Doubles up activities without site interference
  • Improves quality control in a controlled environment
  • Reduces weather-related delays
  • Accelerates on-site assembly and commissioning

We handle challenging conditions

  • Deep excavations with complex dewatering
  • Winter construction 
  • Tight urban sites near residential and commercial developments
  • Two-crane lifts for large tanks
  • Coordination of multiple trades on fast-track schedules

We move quickly and solve problems decisively 

Lift station projects often have challenging schedules and site conditions. We're known for hitting the ground running, coordinating project phases efficiently, and solving field issues quickly, so your projects stay on schedule and owners stay confident.
