Construction of Wrangle
Pumping Station completed
A project to build a new pumping station at Wrangle on the Lincolnshire coast has been completed.
The work, by a Jackson team on behalf of the Witham Fourth District IDB (W4IDB), started in July last year.
The scheme designer was Stantec and the MEICA supply chain partner is Aquatic Control Engineering (ACE). Significant piling work by SPUK was required to construct the new pumping station and a 100t crane needed to lift in the two Archimedes screw pumps. The old pumping station was demolished and removed.
Flood protection
The new pumping station provides flood protection for a catchment area of approximately 2,169ha of mostly prime agricultural land but also containing 117 residential and 26 commercial properties.
