3D Animation | Magnolia Stormwater Pump System | Neomedia Design Group | El Paso TX

Flooding on I-10 between Cotton and Piedras is a big problem when excessive rain falls in a short period of time during the monsoon season.
This video production and 3D animation we created for El Paso Water Utilities and Bath Engineering shows the proposed solution to the problem by redirecting the accumulated storm water on I-10, into the Magnolia Pump Station, and then to the Rio Grande.
This video Production and 3D animation speaks more to the public and stakeholders, than the engineering technical drawings on sheets of paper. The 3D animation is a great tool for the people of El Paso to understand the project and its benefits in the long run.

ADHD takes me to strange places is one of many things I learned here today. And that I won’t forget the term “wet-well” ever again.

[@AndrewNowacki]

Great graphics and explanation!

[@johnwealthy6044]

What happens to the grit/ sediment? Are the pumps able to pump the sediment to the discharge location?

[@united3689]

"over an ogee crest design to create a natural scouring action"- anyone able to explain this bit? And its significance?
Thanks in advance.

[@AndrewNowacki]

united my guess is it’s so that any debris won’t accumulate in the sump (bottom of the pump station) and instead will be conveyed within the water and pumped thru the pumps.

@@AndrewNowacki If they had a bigger flow that wouldn't be a problem but they said 175CFS which isn't much when we dealt with 150CFS per Diesel pump and had 4 plus a 125CFS electric. In 3 different stations and 3 300CFS pumps in one station I ran. The 300CFS pumps actually scoured the bottom of the pump bays as we found out when we did some pump modifications after 20 years of operations. The silt actually cut the concrete in a circular pattern under the intakes to the pumps. We did have to de-muck our service water pump bay one time as it had a buildup of over 2 feet deep and this is what they seem to be worried about.

It prevents sediment build-up witching the pump inlet channel.

Bright idea in the first place, yeah let's put a road between the mountains and the river, oh look it floods who would have guessed

Now I know

That flood really "sucks"
