Lade Bank Pumping Station

Lade Bank pumping station has a capacity of 1000 tonnes/min and 17.1 cumecs which is roughly the same as 26 petrol tankers of water per minute. The site was improved in the 1980’s to include three electric pumps to provide more pumping capacity. The diesel pumps are horizontal mixed flow screw pumps and 240 horse power. This pumping station drains over 12,800 hectares. This pumping station discharges into the Hobhole Drain, lifting water from the lower land of the East Fen.
