Our Process
The Floating Pump Station Platform
Custom Municipal Pump Station Solutions
Municipal pump station floating platforms are each custom-designed and built for the size and quantity of pumps and considering the discharge requirements of the customer. Most floating pump platforms are associated with municipal freshwater treatment plants. MDI can also create access bridges, docks and other components required. Our extensive experience enables us to spot potential concerns and make remedial recommendations.
The result is a finished product that functions according to specifications.
Our Process
The Floating Pump Station Platform
Floating Pump Station Platforms are custom designed and fabricated to match engineering specifications of discharge requirements by the customer. We can work directly with engineers to design the structure to meet load capacity of equipment that will be installed in the building, environmental conditions, and all other components of the finished pump station.
Marina Development (MDI) works directly with engineering firms whose task is to design, build and install municipal pump stations for their municipal clients. MDI offers turn-key service within the budget. Drawings to provided specifications are included, and MDI will manage the entire project from start to completion.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a floating raw water intake platform?
A floating raw water intake platform provides a purpose-built structure for pumps and associated equipment used to draw raw water for municipal and freshwater utility applications. MDI custom designs and fabricates these platforms according to the customer’s pumping, equipment, load capacity, and discharge requirements.
Does MDI custom engineer each floating pump station platform?
Yes. Each MDI floating pump station platform is custom designed and fabricated to meet the specific requirements of the project. MDI can work directly with the customer and engineering firms to develop a structure based on equipment loads, discharge requirements, environmental conditions, and other components of the finished pump station.
Who does MDI work with on raw water intake projects?
MDI works with municipalities, freshwater utility districts, municipal staff, and engineering firms on water pumping projects across the United States. MDI can work directly with the project’s engineering team to design, manufacture, and install the required floating components.
What factors are considered when designing a floating pump station platform?
Every project has different requirements. MDI considers the size and quantity of pumps, discharge requirements, equipment load capacity, environmental conditions, and other components of the finished pump station when developing the platform.
Can MDI provide engineered drawings for the project?
Yes. MDI’s services include engineered stamped drawings developed to project specifications. With in-house engineering capabilities and decades of marine engineering experience, MDI can help take a raw water intake project from initial planning through final installation.
Does MDI only build the floating platform, or can you provide additional components?
MDI can provide more than the floating pump platform itself. Depending on the project, MDI can also create access bridges, docks, and other components required for the finished installation, providing a more comprehensive solution for the customer and engineering team.
Can MDI assist with permitting and compliance?
Yes. MDI’s raw water intake platform services can include permit acquisition and/or compliance assistance, along with project consultation, on-site assessment, engineered drawings, manufacturing, and installation of floating components.
Does MDI handle installation of floating pump station platforms?
Yes. MDI can manage the project from planning and engineering through manufacturing and installation. The installation process is designed to minimize disruption to the customer’s operations while delivering a finished system that functions according to the project specifications.
Why choose MDI for a raw water intake platform project?
Raw water intake platforms require specialized marine engineering and fabrication experience. MDI brings more than 40 years of marine engineering experience to municipal and utility projects, combining project consultation, custom engineering, precision fabrication, installation, and support to deliver a solution built around the specific requirements of each site.
