DRFT DES OINES DOWNTOWN LEVEES STORWTER PP STTION SSESSENT REPORT 2.0 D-I: EST 1ST & RKET PP STTION The East 1 st & arket Street pump station (sometimes referred to as the Eastside Business District Pump Station) was completed in 1983. It has two Peerless axial flow pumps (models 36F and 42F) rated at a total nominal capacity of approximately 100 cfs with 31-feet of head. The pumps are driven by two vertical electric Siemens llis motors rated at 200 and 300 horsepower respectively that are mounted unenclosed on an elevated platform above the intake and discharge line. Other equipment present includes associated motor controls, SCD system, a trash rack with an electric hoist operated rake, an adjacent pad mounted transformer with associated metering and controls, and a 750KW diesel backup generator. The inflow chamber, trash racks, and wet well are located below grade, while the discharge chamber extends above grade. concrete block wall surrounds the pump station. Visible exterior portions of the wall are cladded in brick. Within the wall enclosure, the electric equipment and controls are housed in weather rated cabinets, but these are exposed and starting to corrode. Weatherproof lighting fixtures are provided on the interior and exterior portions of the enclosure. set of concrete steps with steel handrails are provided in the interior of the pump station to provide access to the elevated motor and control platform. Reportedly, this pump station is initiated at a low river stage (19.7 feet at 6th St), which results in the station being utilized multiple times each season. 2.1 INSPECTION General Observations Each pump was operated during the inspection and no obvious signs of deficiencies (vibrations, unexplained noises, etc.) were noted. Reportedly, the motors were rebuilt in 2012 and 2014 respectively. Pump 1 (the 36F) exhibited signs of leakage of bearing oil. Operation of instrumentation, bearing sensors, alarms, and auto shutdowns could not be fully assessed during the limited operation cycle. Documentation of operation and maintenance were not available. Extensive cracking of the perimeter block wall and brick cladding was noted along the northwest corner of the pump station. Cracking was also noted on the exterior surface of the discharge chamber (structural concrete), but the extent to which it affects the overall stability of the structure was not able to be determined at the time of this visual inspection. photo of the cracking is shown. ec u:\175603005\engineer\pump station report\appendix c - attachments\attachment narratives.docx
DES OINES DOWNTOWN LEVEES STORWTER PP STTION SSESSENT REPORT DRFT Extensive Cracking at East 1st & arket PS The trash rack (bar screen) was present and appeared to be in functional condition. However, the hoist operated trash rake system used to clean the rack was not functional and had been disconnected. The hoist system did not appear to be functional. etallic railings and miscellaneous equipment at the pump station exhibits some rust and needs painting and maintenance. Given the age of this pump station (1983), the float switches for the pumps could possibly contain ercury. Controls for the pump motors are exposed to elements and could be difficult to repair during a storm. The telemetry system at the pump station is radio based, but most other infrastructure in the City is based on cellular communications. Power Source Observations The electric utility power source is a 3-phase pad mounted transformer that is operational and appears to be in fair condition. Its primary surge protection and secondary configuration were indeterminate because the transformer s interior was not examined. The alternate power source is a 750KW diesel engine driven generator. The generator started and ran, but was not loaded. The generator did not implement battery warming blankets. The fuel tank was 5/8 full. The service equipment (SE) does not implement a surge protective device. ec u:\175603005\engineer\pump station report\appendix c - attachments\attachment narratives.docx
DES OINES DOWNTOWN LEVEES STORWTER PP STTION SSESSENT REPORT DRFT Electrical System Observations Equipment cabinets are exposed to the elements and a weatherproof operator building has not been provided. The SE, CC and LCP are outdated and likely beyond their service life. n exterior lighting system does not exist. Equipment enclosures exhibit corrosion. The panel that contains the radio contains unsecured parts and trash. Hazardous voltage warning labels are missing from the enclosure covers for the SE and CC. rc flash information labels are located on the SE and CC but are missing from the TS & generator. 2.2 STORWTER SSESSENT The pump station capacity is approximately 100 cfs, but the gravity drain system delivers between 529 and 756 cfs for the 2-year through 100-year storm events. The model indicates the pump station is substantially under capacity and contributes to flooding during events as frequent as the 2-year flood in a number of locations east of SE 6 th Street and northward as far as E. Locust Street. Flooding also occurs north and east of E. Court venue and E. 4 th Street, but it is thought to be a function of the storm sewer network rather than the pump station. Since most of the watershed is urbanized, there does not appear to be an opportunity to add additional storm sewer system storage, so a substantial increase in the size of the pump station would be required to significantly reduce flooding. ec u:\175603005\engineer\pump station report\appendix c - attachments\attachment narratives.docx
