Richland, Washington School Control Building
For this school control building, Romtec was able to partner with the engineer, PBS Engineering, to provide a control building that will hold pumping equipment for a new irrigation system at a school in Richland, Washington.
We worked with the Richland School District, who needed the school control building at Chief Joseph Middle School, as they have many large athletic fields. The middle school control building is going to hold two electrical control boxes and two VFSs for a small pump (irrigation) system. The school district utilized the KCDA purchasing cooperative for Washington State schools to purchase the control building from Romtec.
The control building has split face concrete block wall, a single slope roof, wall vents, and temperature control systems to regulate the temperature during varying conditions. We partnered with PBS Engineering before on a project that also included a control building, so this was another project that we were able to design and supply a school storage building for the customer.

School Storage Building
Richland School District wanted to direct purchase a Romtec control building model 2640 for the Chief Joseph Middle School to house two electrical control boxes and two VFDs for a small pump system. The end owner will be the City of Richland and the structure was purchases by the Richland School district using KCDA. The project went out to bid for the installation with an owner supplied Romtec building.
The pump system and control building are a new application for the school and will support an irrigation system on school grounds.
PBS (PBS Engineering & Environmental Inc.) is a civil engineer who has worked with Romtec Utilities on previous projects including Columbia Palisades and the control building. Romtec Utilities referred PBS to Romtec for assistance in the control building model 2640 for design and supply only for a direct purchase through KCDA.
The Romtec model 2640 control building features CMU split face concrete block wall, single slope metal roof, wall vents, and a wall mounted ERV system air exchange with exhaust and heated air intake.
This is a simple control building that will be temperature controlled to protect the equipment therein.
Richland School District was a first-time customer of Romtec and Siefken & Sons Construction, Inc. was a first-time installer that did a great job on the model 2604 equipment building.
