作为俄亥俄州克利夫兰市的一部分，水资源部（CWD）致力于 改进服务，决定提高可靠性、效率， 泵站的控制和报告。大约五年前，作者 有幸带头研究、设计和建造 水泵站将测试新技术，并为下一代设定标准 世纪的设计。这需要改变克利夫兰抽水的方式。在里面 换句话说，它要求设计师完全无视范例 传统上，指示泵的选择、控制、仪表等 最近使用了“弹性工程”。这意味着系统应该 设计为在可接受的参数范围内长时间运行 启动后资源分配最少。也就是说，一个“弹性系统” 反弹并在非最佳条件下执行，例如 由于缺乏维护和运行条件或客户需求的变化。 尽管作者不知道“弹性工程”这个术语，但是 多年前，他们无意中遵循了这一理念，因为他们的研究和 对运行人员的采访确定了这种设计策略的必要性。 在研究泵站设计课题时，他们从 教科书、文章、设备制造商、其他泵站设计、， 相关设备安装、标准、运行需求和要求， 并听取操作人员和维修人员的投诉。结果是 大约一百页的注意事项。 设计了两座泵站 迄今为止都是用这个配方制作的。第三个泵站目前正在建设中 设计本文讨论了一些经验教训。包括13个参考文献、图表。

As part of the City of Cleveland, Ohio, Division of Water (CWD) efforts to improve its service, a decision was made to improve reliability, efficiency, control and reporting at the pump stations. About five years ago, the author was given the privilege of spearheading the research, design and construction of a water pump station to test newer technologies and set the standard for the next century's designs. This required a change in the manner Cleveland pumps water. In other words, it required the designers to completely disregard the paradigms traditionally dictating pump selection, control, instrumentation, etc. The term 'resiliency engineering' has been recently used. This means that systems should be engineered to operate within acceptable parameters for long periods of time with minimum resource allocation after start-up. That is, a 'resilient system' bounces back and performs under less than optimal conditions such as those caused by lack of maintenance and change in operating conditions or customer demand. Although the authors were not aware of the term 'resiliency engineering' five years ago, they inadvertently followed that philosophy because their research and interviews of operations' personnel identified a need for such a design strategy. In researching the subject of pump station design, they acquired data from textbooks, articles, equipment manufacturers, other pump station designs, relevant equipment installations, standards, operational needs and requirements, and listened to operators and maintenance personnel's complaints. The result was about one hundred pages of dos and don'ts. Two pump stations have been designed and built using this recipe to date. A third pump station is presently under design. This paper discusses some of the lessons learned. Includes 13 references, figures.
