Lift Station Rehab – GAC SLS19-F
Scope & Overview
We undertook a significant rehabilitation project for one of their crucial lift stations. The station is strategically located directly in front of two hangar doors, making its efficient operation and accessibility critical for daily operations.
The comprehensive rehabilitation project aimed to enhance the functionality and reliability of the lift station. This involved several key components:
Valve Vault and Bypass Vault Installation:
Two new vaults were added to the lift station system. The valve vault was essential for managing the flow and pressure within the station, while the bypass vault ensured that operations could continue seamlessly during maintenance activities. Both vaults were equipped with aircraft-rated access lids to withstand the heavy load and traffic typical in front of hangar doors.
Concrete Paving Replacement:
As part of the project, all the surrounding concrete paving was removed and replaced. This step was crucial not only for aesthetic reasons but also to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the area, especially considering the heavy equipment and vehicular movement associated with the hangar operations.

Timeline
The entire project was meticulously planned and executed over a three-week period, starting right after Christmas. Despite the holiday season, the project team was committed to completing the rehabilitation swiftly and efficiently to minimize disruption to Pinco’s operations.
Challenges and Solutions
Strategic Location:
The lift station’s placement in front of two hangar doors posed a logistical challenge. The project required careful coordination to ensure that the hangar operations were not significantly hindered. This was achieved through detailed scheduling and the use of temporary measures to maintain access.
Concrete Paving:
The removal and replacement of concrete paving were executed with precision. High-quality materials and modern techniques were employed to ensure durability and longevity, essential given the high-traffic nature of the area.
Weather Considerations:
Conducting the project in the winter season required contingency plans for potential weather disruptions. The team was prepared with weather-resistant materials and flexible timelines to accommodate any delays.
