Suncoast Instrumentation & Electrical provided comprehensive electrical, controls, and instrumentation construction for the Oregon Pump Station, a municipal wastewater pump station project in Tampa, Florida.
This project showcases our ability to execute the electrical and I&C requirements of a pump station from the ground up-from underground electrical infrastructure and utility service through power distribution, motor controls, pump controls, instrumentation, communications, and final field connections.
Pump station construction requires more than simply installing conduit and pulling wire. These facilities bring together utility power, emergency power provisions, pumps, motor controls, process instrumentation, communications, and automated control systems that must function together as a complete system.
Project Scope
One of Suncoast I&E's strengths is our ability to work across the traditional boundaries between electrical power and instrumentation and controls.
The Oregon Pump Station incorporates utility power, emergency generator provisions, motor-control equipment, pump-control equipment, submersible pumps, field instrumentation, power monitoring, and communications infrastructure as part of the overall electrical system.
The pump-control system also interfaces with level detection, pump control, alarms, and SCADA/cellular communications.
For a general contractor, that means working with an electrical subcontractor that understands not only how to install the raceway and power conductors, but also how the controls, instrumentation, pumps, and associated equipment fit together in the finished facility.
Municipal wastewater projects demand durable installations, careful coordination, and an understanding of the environments in which the equipment will operate.
The Oregon Pump Station electrical installation included outdoor equipment, underground raceways, corrosion-conscious installation requirements, wet-well interfaces, instrumentation, controls, and hazardous-location requirements. The project specifications call for exposed rigid aluminum conduit and 316 stainless-steel mounting/support hardware in applicable portions of the installation, illustrating the durability requirements associated with this type of wastewater facility.
Suncoast I&E understands these requirements and the coordination necessary between the electrical contractor, general contractor, engineer, utility, equipment manufacturers, controls personnel, and other trades to move a pump station from construction drawings toward a completed operating facility.
Suncoast Instrumentation & Electrical works with general contractors on municipal wastewater, pump station, industrial electrical, instrumentation, and controls projects throughout Florida.
We understand what a GC needs from an electrical subcontractor: knowledgeable field execution, accurate coordination, responsiveness to changing field conditions, attention to project specifications, and the technical ability to carry a complex electrical and I&C scope through construction.
Whether the project is a new pump station, complete pump station replacement, rehabilitation, or major electrical and controls upgrade, Suncoast I&E has the capabilities to execute demanding municipal and industrial electrical scopes.
