RHICS Hempholme & Wilfholme Pumping Stations

August 1, 2018 - March 31, 2020

Hempholme and Wilfholme pumping stations are located between Driffield and Beverley in East Yorkshire, and drain low lying agricultural areas into the River Hull. It has been identified that the existing pumping stations need to be refurbished as their current asset life is limited and the pumps are likely to fail in the near future.

The Hempholme and Wilfholme Pumping Stations currently serve to reduce flood risk by pumping water from the lower level drainage system into the River Hull.

 The Environment Agency (current owner and operator) is planning to decommission the pumping stations because they are at the end of their asset life. If the pumping stations are decommissioned it will result in frequent flooding and permanent damage to large areas of farm land and associated agricultural industry, resulting in significant economic losses to rural areas within the East Riding.

 This project will refurbish the ageing pumping stations to ensure that damage to farmland is minimised.
