West Stanislaus Irrigation District – Pump Station 1A

​

WAVE Engineers provided electrical design, construction services, power coordination and arc flash study for WSID Pump Station 1A project.  The pump station delivers 350 cubic-feet per second of water through approximately 4,400 lineal feet of 114-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe. With this new pump station, it allowed the District to abandon existing pump stations No.1 and No.2 along the main canal.  These improvements enabled up to 65,000 acre-feet per year of water from the San Joaquin River to be diverted to the DMC during low demand periods in addition to providing the required capacity to meet District demands.

This project included a control building, distribution/manifold bypass piping, three (3) 800 horsepower pumps, two (2) 500 horsepower pumps, variable-frequency drives, reduced-voltage soft-starter controllers, 12.47kV to 480V transformer, modifications to District’s existing 12.47kV electrical distribution system, power monitor, trash rake, surge tank, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), radio communications, and additions to the District’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
