SECTION 2 – MATERIALS 2.1 GENERAL A. The Utility will consider a factory constructed pumping station in lieu of a site constructed pumping station. The factory constructed pumping station shall generally meet all of the requirements of the specifications including this Section 33 32 17 Submersible Utility Wastewater Pumping Station, the Electrical Sections – Division 26 of the specifications, Section 33 32 50 Emergency Generators and Backup Pumping Systems, and any other Section of the specification that is related to the Pumping Station construction. The contractor is solely responsible for determining that the proposed factory constructed pumping station is in conformance with all project requirements. The Utility may allow deviations from the project requirements if the contractor specifically requests deviations from the project requirements, and those deviations are specifically approved by the Utility. B. The contractor shall furnish, take possession of when delivered, and install the pumping station equipment where shown on the drawings, complete with all incidental and appurtenances required for a complete, finished and fully operational installation. C. All equipment components shall be adequately sized to carry all loads and stresses occurring during fabrication and erection and resulting from normal and emergency operation in the installation shown on the drawings and under the conditions specified and/or implied.

All fasteners shall be minimum 304 or 304L stainless steel or Utility approved equal. 5. Each pump shall be capable of being hoisted vertically out of the wetwell, and returned to operation without requiring the operator to enter the wetwell. 6. No electrical splices shall be allowed inside the wetwell. 7. The impeller shall be of bronze, ductile iron, or other durable, corrosion- resistant approved material. The pump impeller shall be of semi-open non- clog design and shall have back vane(s) to prevent build up of solids behind the impeller. The impeller shall be rigidly fixed to the motor shaft with a key(s) or other approved fastener (so designed to prevent separation under rotational loading). 8. The motor shaft shall be stainless steel, supported by upper and lower bearings. The upper bearing shall be a self-lubricating ball bearing. The lower bearing shall be a sleeve bearing or double row ball bearing lubricated from an oil chamber. Shaft and bearing shall have sufficient section to withstand all rotational and axial loading to be reasonably expected under normal wastewater pumping situations. 9. The shaft shall be sealed from the volute with an oil-lubricated mechanical seal system. The oil chamber shall be equipped with a seal sensor system to detect any leakage around the seal system. Mechanical seal shall be tungsten carbide type, double mechanical seal. One replacement seal for each pump shall be furnished to the utility. 10. The motor chamber shall be suitably sealed from the other chambers of the pump and from the exterior to be entirely suitable for submerged operation. The motor chamber may either be of oil-filled or air-filled design. 11. Pumps shall be Xylem, Pentair or Utility approved equal. C. Motors 1. Pump motors shall be of the sealed submersible type meeting UL Class I, Group D, Division I - Explosion proof requirements.
