Ramellat pumping station

The approach taken is to create a pumping station that receives water from the Ramellat Reservoir and pumps it to the new delivery site through a pipeline that is 800 mm in diameter. The three main actions are: the pumping station, the connection with the existing pipeline, and the final delivery reservoir. 

The pumping station is comprised of a 172 m² building separate from the suction tank. It is divided into two rooms: one for pump equipment and hydraulic components, and the other for all electrical and remote-control equipment.
The pump group is comprised of three parallel pumps. The pumps are connected inside the building to a main DN 800 collector, which exits the property until it meets the old pipeline, from there duplicating the old piping until it reaches the delivery site. The necessary safety and control instrumentation has been included for proper operation of the facility. 
 

The medium-voltage electrical connection used to service the pumps begins at the Mutxamel desalination plant, a facility which has also been connected via fiber optics with the pump and the shutter.
The interconnection casing, 69 m² and made of reinforced concrete, has been designed to allow various operational maneuvers. It consists of a system of four manual DN800 valves that allow two pipes to be connected to one another. 

The delivery site is a 25 m² semi-sealed reinforced concrete casing, connected to the existing shutter through two DN600 pipes. It is planned as a load-break casing using a 2.4 m-high spillway. The components connecting to the pumps and the system control signals are installed on this structure, as well as a photo-voltaic installation which will supply the equipment with energy.
