Water and Wastewater Pump Station Design and Optimization

Aging systems, energy inefficiencies, need for additional capacity and odor control, and site limitations make pump station challenges unique.

At GFT, we design, upgrade, and optimize pumping infrastructure, matching your needs today and preparing you for tomorrow. From water to wastewater to stormwater, our solutions combine technical depth, automation expertise, and energy savings to deliver resilient, community-focused systems that last.

Comprehensive Pump Station Solutions

End-to-end services that optimize performance and increase resiliency across your pump station life cycle.

Evaluation, Design & Optimization
We tailor every new or rehabilitated pump station design to fit site conditions, hydraulic demands, and your operational goals. From dry to wet well, submersible to vertical, our designs emphasize efficiency, longevity, and ease of maintenance.
Smart Pump Selection
Our engineers analyze flow ranges and system pressures to select the ideal pump type and configuration, improving energy use, reducing downtime, and aligning with lifecycle costs.
Instrumentation and Control Systems
GFT automates control with advanced programmable logic controllers (PLC), human-machine interface (HMI) systems, and remote monitoring. Our solutions boost reliability, simplify operations, and support proactive maintenance strategies through data-driven insights.
Energy Efficiency Audits
We identify overdesign, wasted energy, and cost inefficiencies. Our assessments and modeling tools enable smart retrofits and optimized operational strategies that cut energy use without sacrificing performance.

Odor Control Solutions
Our advanced, low-maintenance odor control systems minimize H₂S and protect both your community and equipment, achieving up to 99% removal efficiency while reducing chemical reliance.
Site-Focused Configurations
We address site constraints like utilities, access, and adjacent land uses with detailed constructability reviews and designs that maximize operability, minimize disruptions, and reduce construction risks.
BIM and GIS Integration
We use intelligent modeling tools to facilitate informed decision-making, from concept to construction and operation. Our building information modeling (BIM) workflows integrate energy analysis, geographic information system (GIS), and asset data for lasting performance.
