Sanitary Sewer Pump Station JACKSON WOODS PUMP STATION, JACKSON, NJ

This sanitary sewer pump station in Jackson Township, NJ is being built to serve a new residential community of about 465 homes. Once in service, it will collect wastewater from the neighborhood and move it onward through the sewer system.

Deep Structures, Tight Footprint

The working parts of the station sit far below grade. Pillari installed a 7-foot-diameter wet well, 38 feet deep, along with a 5′ x 5′ comminutor chamber that reaches 29 feet down. The comminutor grinds solids before they reach the pumps. That protects the equipment and helps the station run smoothly for years.

Working Safely at 40 Feet

Digging this deep takes careful planning. Before excavation began, Pillari’s crews installed a steel sheet pile cofferdam measuring 42 feet long, 18 feet wide and 40 feet deep. The cofferdam held back the surrounding ground and created a secure work area. Crews then excavated to about 40 feet and set both structures inside it.

The order of work mattered. Support first, then excavation, then installation. Following that sequence kept the crew safe and the structures properly placed.

A Key Link in the Utility Network

Pump stations are an essential part of the underground utilities that serve new communities. Where gravity alone can’t carry wastewater to the main sewer line, a pump station lifts it so the system keeps flowing. Without it, a development of this size simply couldn’t connect.

The Result

When complete, the Jackson Woods pump station will give 465 homes reliable sewer service. It reflects the deep-excavation experience and careful planning Pillari brings to every wastewater pumping station project.
