Case Study
Stormwater Pump Station Evaluation
AE2S - Stormwater Pump Station Evaluation With multiple flooding and operational issues, American Crystal Sugar Company (ACS) retained AE2S to survey and document system layouts and profiles of the existing stormwater collection system served by yard pump station 5 (PS5) in their East Grand Forks facility. The goal of surveying the system was to prepare baseline information from which an analysis of the system could be performed in order to make recommendations on the most appropriate and prudent means to remedy the problems being experienced in this area of the plant. To analyze the system, AE2S stormwater experts constructed an XP-SWMM model to dynamically identify potential flow attenuation that may be present in the system (i.e., flow restriction via a potentially undersized or deterio
