Al Rendl Regional Pumping Station Named Among the “Best of 2024” by CMAA Houston

The state-of-the-art pumping station includes two 12.5-million-gallon ground storage tanks, advanced chemical feed systems for chloramine disinfection, a stormwater detention pond, and administrative and maintenance buildings. Key features also include a medium-voltage electrical system, an on-site sanitary sewer lift station, and an off-site force main. The station was integrated with NHCRWA’s existing surface water transmission infrastructure and supported with two 14,000 gallons per minute (GPM) and two 7,000 GPM horizontal split case centrifugal pumps, along with discharge piping and a hydropneumatic system.

The pumping station helps meet the increasing water needs of North Harris County residents by connecting with surface water sources to supply treated water directly to local communities. Despite challenges related to the project’s urban setting, stormwater drainage, power infrastructure complexities, supply chain delays, and more, the project team maintained an unwavering commitment to budget and quality, delivering this critical infrastructure within the anticipated project cost of $102.15 million.
