Lift Station & Force Main Construction in Central Florida

Pre-packaged and fiberglass lift stations, force main and the gravity sanitary system that feeds them, installed by SDC utility crews.

Where site elevations or the receiving sewer system require pumping, a lift station and force main connect the development's sanitary collection system to the receiving utility. SDC installs those stations as part of its underground utility work: the wet well and pre-packaged or fiberglass station, the force main, and the gravity collection system upstream of it.

Our recent lift station work includes utility-standard stations built to Tohopekaliga Water Authority requirements in Osceola County, fiberglass stations on multifamily and residential communities, a station serving an Osceola County K-8 school, and relocation of an existing fiberglass station on an occupied residential site. Force main runs on those projects range from 130 LF to more than 1,500 LF.

What We Self-Perform

Pre-packaged and fiberglass stations

Installation of pre-packaged and fiberglass lift stations, including the excavation, setting and backfill the station manufacturer's details require.

Utility-standard stations

Stations built to the receiving utility's standard where the system is turned over to a public authority — including TOHO lift station installations in Osceola County.

Force main

4-inch through 12-inch force main installation, from short connections to multi-thousand-foot runs, with pressure testing and connection to the existing system.

Gravity collection upstream

The sanitary sewer system feeding the station — gravity mains, manholes and services, up to nearly 20,000 LF of pipe on a single community.

Modifications and relocations

Relocating an existing station on an active site, and conversion of a lift station to a gravity manhole where a system is being re-routed.

Site work around the station

Access drive, flatwork, grading, restoration and paving around the completed station, self-performed by the same SDC crews.

Who We Work With

Residential and multifamily developers

The station, force main and collection system delivered inside the same site package as earthwork, drainage and paving.

General contractors on institutional sites

Station and force main installation sequenced around a building under construction — as on the K-8 KnightsBridge school site for Wharton-Smith.

Public utility owners

Stations built to the utility's own standard and documented for acceptance by the authority that will operate them.

How We Work

  1. 1. Scope and utility standards review

    We review the sanitary plans, profiles and the receiving utility's standard details, confirm the station model and price the station, force main and collection work.

  2. 2. Dewatering and excavation planning

    Wet well depth, groundwater, dewatering, sheeting and trench protection are planned before the excavation is opened.

  3. 3. Installation and testing

    Station setting, force main installation, pressure testing and connection to the existing system, with safety ranked above all other aspects of the operation.

  4. 4. Startup support and turnover

    Restoration around the station and the record documentation the owner and accepting utility need at turnover.
