Water & Wastewater Treatment

PUMP CENTRE CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION 2015 PREVIEW 5 The Pump Centre has awarded its first Pump Project of the Year award to a collaboration between Thames Water and Boulting Pump Management to upgrade the Littleton Raw Water Pumping Station. The project was unique in the way it heightened the efficiency of a historic pumping station – built in 1925 – while retaining as much as possible of its original 1920s character. The project stood out for the judges because of the way all parties worked together to solve problems, a collabora- tive approach that is indicative of what the Pump Centre stands for, according to chairman Mike Rush. Boulting's Brian Conway will be talking about the project in the Technical Conference while more information will also be available on the exhibition floor. However, you can get a sneak preview by reading our project report on page 16.
