The SUPER STATION was developed and patented in 1987 By Burcon Inc. and marketed under the name Stow-Away. The product, at its inception was a control system only, which included an enclosure that buried in the ground. The Stow-Away control panel would pivot on an arm from its enclosure to a position above ground making the control panel accessible for inspection and maintenance. The Stow-Away control panel was designed and used primarily on sewage pumping stations to improve the esthetic value of the site.

In 1989 the addition of a wet well access chamber and a valve vault chamber to the below ground control panel completed the design of a packaged pumping station which mounted to the top of a concrete or fiberglass wet well. This basic design is still in use today as the SUPER STATION.

In 1992 the below ground control system was redesigned eliminating the pivot arm in favor of a two sided back plate which rose vertically from an enclosure exposing the controls for inspection and maintenance.

1994 Saw the addition of an above ground control panel configuration to the SUPER STATION offering a complete pump station system at a price level competitive with a conventional pump station design.

In 2002 new patents were applied for as new materials became available in the market allowing design enhancements to the below ground control system. The below ground control system is now enclosed in a conventional NEMA 4X enclosure and rises vertically from the SUPER STATION. These changes have prompted new pricing on the below grade enclosure which make this design as, or more economical than the above grade control system.

Also in 2002 new patents were applied for and the COMPACT SUPER STATION is now being introduced. This packaged pumping station fits inside of a 60" or 72" diameter concrete or fiberglass wet well structure or retrofits to any size existing wet well and offers more working space at a substantial cost savings over the original SUPER STATION design. This new system is available with both the above and below grade control packages. We are confident this new design will become the standard used by the industry for submersible pumping stations due to its economy, friendly working environment and its ease of installation.
