Book Review by Daniel L.
Everything You Need to Know Now About Pump Station Design
Honestly, I have not read the entire book, but as a Consultant for small sewer districts, everything I’ve needed to be refreshed on is in this book. The authors have compiled a great deal of real-world applications and compared different designs to recommend what has been proven to work the best of all they have seen. Although it usually takes a Science degree to become an Engineer, Engineering is a great deal of art. Let the creative solutions others have found work for you – improve your designs and stick with what is proven to work best!
