正文(英文) | Press release Work to start on final stage of £1 million pumping station overhaulParkeston pumping station near Harwich, located at the lower end of the Ramsey/Dock River, helps to protect homes and businesses from the risk of flooding. ![]() The Parkeston pumping Station near Harwich, located at the lower end of the Ramsey/Dock River, helps to protect homes and businesses in the area from the risk of flooding and is currently undergoing a 2 year overhaul. Work is set to start on the final stage of a £1 million scheme to refurbish a vital pumping station in north-east Essex. The Parkeston pumping station near Harwich, located at the lower end of the Ramsey/Dock River, helps to protect homes and businesses in the area from the risk of flooding and is currently undergoing a 2 year overhaul. The largest and final stage of the work is the replacement of the debris screen, the concrete river banks and a footbridge. New piping will also be installed for emergency pumps, should they be needed. The work is being undertaken by contractors Jackson Civil Engineering. Environment Agency project lead Robert Brown said parts of the structure had been deteriorating due to age and need replacing. He said:
The pumps can lift up to 3 tonnes of water a second, so the station needs to have a debris screen to ensure they do not get blocked with vegetation and rubbish. The work will start in early June and last for around 18 weeks.
