the above phots remind me of the pride that used to be taken in our engineering,. that has now gone. Ive been on jobe where there was tiled floors, and weve had to rip out an old booster plant, and replace it, along with switchgear ect. Cable trenches had to be dug and a lot of civils were required for the new pumps. Well, the place got a lick of paint after, but the nice tiled floor was never replaced, it was left as concrete.
I find it a real shame when i walk into old pumping stations and you can see that the buildings are falling apart. Some of them have old kitchens and mess rooms that used to be used when the stations were permanently manned. Now they gather dust, and the plaster and paint isd often falling form the ceilings. Many of the buildings should be listed, but theyre not, and the water company is not keen on it either.
