Scope Of Work
Challenge
The Montgomery County Educational Service Center building would flood often because the area is a flood plane. Water would come in through the walls, requiring cleanup services each time the area received heavy rainfall.
Services Rendered
Plumbing
Building Automation
Maintenance
Services Provided
MSD installed temporary pumps to remove old water and prevent further damage while we designed a new, custom pump system for the building. MSD provided water extraction services and removed water from the carpeted areas.
We designed a variable flow pumping system capable of removing 200,000 gallons per hour which included four sump pits around the perimeter of the building, all funneling into a trunk line that moved the water to a cistern system for removal.
MSD also designed and installed an automated system that detects the water level and automatically turns the pumps on as needed, and off when flooding is no longer a threat.
Outcome
The building has not seen any additional flooding since MSD installed the customized pump system.
