Secondary Pumping Station upgrade project saves money, reduces lost test time

Aerospace Testing Alliance utility machinists, (left to right) Nat Farrar, Reggie Sizemore and David Stewart set the clearance on the new shaft for the recently fabricated impeller before it was installed at the Secondary Pumping Station (SPS). The 25,000 gallon-per-minute impellers are being replaced to help the efficiency and flow of the cooling water that is used throughout the facilities. These SPS pumps, which weigh between five to six tons each, deliver as much as eight billion gallons of water around the base each year to maintain the proper temperatures for conducting tests of jet engines, aircraft models, rocket motors and other flight systems and components.
