Abbey Pumping Station £1.4m Transformation

EP Consulting is proud to showcase our role in the £1.4m redevelopment of Abbey Pumping Station in Leicester. This project revitalised a historic Victorian building, transforming it into a dynamic museum that celebrates Leicester’s industrial, technological, and scientific heritage.

Scope of Work

Our team delivered a full suite of mechanical and electrical design services, including feasibility studies, budget costing, and the integration of modern systems within the historic structure. We produced a thermal model for the building, created a BRUKL report and ensured compliance with Part L2 Building Regulations. The redevelopment preserved the building's historical significance while updating its infrastructure, enhancing both functionality and visitor experience.

Our work enabled a successful transformation, creating an engaging space that highlights the city’s rich industrial history while adhering to stringent regulatory standards. The project not only modernised the facility but also enhanced its role as a key attraction, contributing to Leicester’s cultural and historical landscape.
