Gorman-Rupp has expanded its line of municipal lift stations to include the ReliaSource Modular Above-Ground Lift Station. Engineered and manufactured by Gorman-Rupp, this wastewater lift station is the largest such package offered in the industry.
“We made the decision to develop this latest product because our customers were requesting a larger solution to accommodate additional components and more complex controls with a ReliaSource solution,” says Vince Baldasare, Gorman-Rupp engineered systems sales manager. “Now, no matter which size or type of station a customer chooses, the single source of reliability of the ReliaSource line is available for a wide range of solids-handling requirements.”
The ReliaSource product line
Gorman-Rupp’s line of ReliaSource municipal lift stations includes: ReliaSource Modular, ReliaSource 8x12, ReliaSource 8x9, ReliaSource 6x6T, ReliaSource 6x6, ReliaSource 7x10, ReliaSource Below-Ground, ReliaSource Auto-Start and ReliaSource Base-Mounted lift stations, as well as the ReliaSource Above-Ground Submersible Valve Package (ASVP).
“It’s a nice addition to Gorman-Rupp’s product line,” says Mike Gillespie, Envirep president. “It is really what the customer is looking for — a complete solution for the whole pump station. If you supply pieces and parts, there is a lot of room for error, but when you supply the whole system and make it a complete system, the customers are happy. We have more solutions for the customers, and we get more sales.”
Engineering expertise
Bob Jordan of Covalen is thrilled with the introduction.
“Gorman-Rupp continues to innovate for the whole water and wastewater industry,” he says. “The ReliaSource Modular Above-Ground Lift Station breaks new ground for Gorman-Rupp distributors and the water and wastewater community with this offering. There are basically only three connections to make — electric, wastewater and fuel — which makes this a very simple option for contractors to install. They can get in and out quickly.”
Equipped to house the latest in Integrinex control technology, the new package is designed to keep wastewater systems up and running — even during power outages. The station is available in sizes up to 11 feet 6 inches wide by 20 feet long and can accommodate 2 inches through 12 feet and flows up to 5,200 gpm. Station enclosures are available in various fiberglass colors and can be upgraded to brick- or stone-finished textures.
Like all ReliaSource lift stations, the new modular above-ground is designed, manufactured and tested by Gorman-Rupp experts to ensure smooth installation at the job site.
“Gorman-Rupp has the in-house horsepower to build the most highly engineered packaged pump systems in the world,” says longtime Gorman-Rupp distributor Randy Keefe.
