Welches Dam pumps replaced in Cambridgeshire,England

摘要

Bedford Pumps has replaced pumps originally installed by W H Allen at Welches Dam Pumping Station in the Cambridgeshire Fens. The Welches Dam pumping station, situated on the Old Bedford River, south of Manea, was constructed in 1948 to provide land drainage in the notoriously flat and boggy marsh land of the Cambridgeshire fens. Sixty years on maintaining this obsolete equipment had become prohibitively expensive and the decision was made to upgrade the station with modern alternatives.
