Custom Engineered Barski Pump Station
Product Overview
Barski Industries designs and manufactures custom-engineered Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) lift stations and valve vaults for municipal, commercial, and industrial wastewater infrastructure. FRP construction delivers long service life (100+ years), complete corrosion resistance, and leak-free operation—providing a proven alternative to traditional concrete stations.
Barski integrates Xylem / Flygt submersible pumps and controls into our FRP pump stations, ensuring full compatibility, dependable performance, and long-term reliability in both wastewater and stormwater applications.
Each custom pump station is manufactured to project-specific requirements, using advanced engineering and filament-wound FRP construction for superior structural strength and durability. Barski stations can be installed as new systems or as slip-in replacements for deteriorating infrastructure, minimizing excavation, reducing downtime, and maintaining efficient site operations.

Frequently asked questions
Have questions? We’re here to help.
What sizes of FRP stations does Barski offer?
Does Barski offer custom-engineered FRP stations?
Yes. For diameters above 6 ft or depths beyond standard TOP ranges, Barski supplies fully custom-engineered FRP stations.
- Applications: Larger municipal or industrial flows, complex pumping arrangements, or projects requiring non-standard layouts.
- Features: Options include increased wet well storage, specialized hydraulic benching, large-diameter piping, integrated mezzanine platforms, custom valve vaults, and flexible inlet/outlet orientations.
Can Barski provide stamped engineering drawings?
Yes. In collaboration with professional engineering firms such as March Consulting, Barski provides site-specific stamped drawings for:
- FRP station structural design
- Reinforced concrete base slab design
- H-20 and higher traffic-rated top slabs
Do I need a geotechnical report?
A geotechnical report is required for site-specific stamped base-slab design. Data on groundwater depth, soil bearing capacity, and buoyancy allows accurate foundation engineering. If a report is not available, Barski can design to a conservative default case, but this may increase foundation requirements.
What is the typical lead time after design approval?
Standard lead time is 8–10 weeks from final design approval. Larger, multi-section, highly customized systems, or request for special non-stocked parts may require additional time.
