TCB Industrial has been awarded pump layout and design support services for a municipal wastewater application in Northern California. Proper layout and design are critical to pump performance, maintainability, and long-term operational efficiency, particularly in infrastructure systems expected to operate continuously over decades.

This award focuses on supporting engineering and constructability considerations prior to installation or modification work.

Role of layout and design support

Pump layout affects everything from hydraulic performance to maintenance access. Poor layout can introduce flow inefficiencies, vibration issues, and unsafe access conditions that persist throughout the asset’s life.

Providing field-informed design support helps ensure that systems function as intended once constructed.

Execution approach

TCB’s role includes supporting layout verification, reviewing equipment positioning, and identifying constructability considerations that may not be apparent in early design stages. Field experience informs recommendations related to access clearances, lifting paths, and interface coordination.

Coordination with engineering and owner representatives ensures that layout decisions align with operational realities.

Safety and maintainability considerations

Design support emphasizes maintainability. Ensuring safe access for inspection, removal, and servicing reduces long-term risk and cost. TCB contributes practical input based on how equipment is actually serviced in the field.

Value delivered

By supporting layout decisions early, TCB helps prevent costly rework and operational compromises later in the project lifecycle.

What this award represents

This project highlights TCB’s ability to contribute beyond construction execution, providing value through engineering-informed field insight that improves infrastructure outcomes.
