Twyford Waterworks in Hampshire is an Edwardian pumping station and a site of considerable engineering significance. As one of the most complete heritage boiler houses still in existence, it uniquely features three Babcock & Wilcox wrought-iron front (WIF) water tube boilers and a 1914 Hathorn Davey triple expansion steam pumping engine. In 2009 the Twyford Waterworks Trust (TWT) embarked on an ambitious project to return one of the boilers to steam.
Graham Feldwick, volunteer Project Director of the TWT says that Identifying a company to carry out the rebuilding of the boiler and associated steam plant was not easy: “It was of utmost importance for this project to select a company that could not only carry out a first-class restoration of the boiler and steam plant, but that could work collaboratively and easily with other companies, contractors, and TWT’s own team of volunteers.”
