Seawater Intake Pumps
Having a ug discharge won't change the amount of material in the pumps. The lenght of the pumps is determined by the depth of the intake and low water level.
If the discharge was ug, the meters would be ug, and would be at risk of flooding; also, the floor would have to have openings for access to the meters.

Thanks TenPenny for your reply. But, please consider that with fixed suction level we can have both A/G and U/G discharge. Considering expensive SS for pumps, less material saves a lot of money, that cover costs for civil works (openings for access?).
if take a look to the picture again it seems the piping is not CS. it resembles more to the HDPE (or GRP), which is weak in shear comparing to the CS. in this regard i think settlement of concrete intake is main reason to have A/G discharge to avoide direct shear in piping, and change it to tension and comopression at some meters away.
Am i right? Since this is a picture you Googled, how do you know the pumps are stainless steel?
When I first saw the picture, I thought it was a construction drawing for a plant I've been to in the US -- which really surprised me that the plant I'm thinking about would have construction drawings on the web.
