Highline Water Systems
Highline Water Systems
Cisterns, pumping, pressure, and wildfire water supply infrastructure
Highline designs and builds mission-critical water systems engineered for remote, high-risk, and high-elevation sites. We deliver complete water supply infrastructure—from storage and intake through pumping, pressure regulation, and integration to downstream fire-protection or site distribution interfaces.
Our approach prioritizes reliability, serviceability, and conservative performance margins so systems perform under real conditions—not just on paper.
What We Build
Highline Water Systems are designed as complete, integrated infrastructure packages. Typical scope includes:
Water Storage
Cistern sizing and configuration, placement strategy, freeze considerations, access planning, and system interfaces.
Intakes & Wet Sumps
Pond intakes, screened suctions, wet sumps, foot valves, and suction hydraulics designed to protect pumps and ensure flow.
Transfer & Booster Pumping
Submersible or surface pumping, booster skids, VFDs where appropriate, and performance built for long runs and elevation gain.
Pressure Systems
Pressure tanks, regulation, surge and transients planning, and stable discharge profiles for downstream systems.
Distribution Interfaces
Clean tie-in points for fire-defense or site distribution networks—designed for predictable performance at the connection.
Commissioning
Startup, tuning, verification testing, and turnover documentation so the system performs as designed and can be maintained.
Engineering Principles
Water systems for high-risk sites fail for predictable reasons. Highline designs to eliminate common failure modes.
Hydraulic realism
Static lift, friction losses, long-run performance, and elevation gain are treated as design drivers from day one.
NPSH & pump protection
Suction conditions, screen sizing, wet sump geometry, and intake protection are engineered to avoid cavitation and premature failure.
Freeze & access planning
Winterization, below-frost strategies, service access, and maintenance pathways are designed into the build—not added later.
Ideal Applications
- Wildfire-prone properties requiring dedicated water storage and pumping capacity
- Remote sites with limited municipal supply or unreliable utility conditions
- High-elevation properties where static lift and winter conditions drive system design
- Complex sites requiring engineered interfaces to downstream fire-defense or distribution systems
Request a Water System Assessment
Provide your site location, water source (cistern/pond/well), elevation conditions, target flow/pressure requirements, and any downstream system details. We’ll review constraints and outline the right infrastructure approach.
