    New shaft/impeller/end covers for Warman pump

    The station was built in 1980 for the emptying of river/canal dredging barges. The method of use appears to be as follows:-

    The water feed pump takes its suction via a 20" dip leg pipe from the canal. It is primed to start by vacuum drawn through it by the Nash vacuum pump. The discharge from this pump is split into two lines (both with control valves). One line goes out to one of the 18" rise & fall barge connections, the other is a bypass to a tee on the suction of the main pump. The other leg of this tee is the inlet from outside (the other 18" rise & fall barge connection). The discharge from the main pump is pumped via 16" NRV and pipework (now disconnected) to settling lagoons.

    It would seem that the flow from the water feed pump was used to connect to some sort of venturi or agitation device on the barge itself and also to prime (and provide a clean feed) to the main pump to ensure that a pumpable ratio of dredgings/water was maintained.

    The station has been disused for some years, as private contractors are able to perform its function more economically using barge mounted pumping equipment.

    As can be seen, all items appear to be in good order.
