What unites these examples is Hampsey’ s extensive range of services and skills, which are thanks to its expert team and years of experience. Furthermore, Hampsey has made significant investments in the latest reinforced concrete frame technology, enabling the most efficient construction solution to be proposed and safely delivered to the highest quality. By embracing innovation and continuous investment, the company has been able to take on more unique and challenging projects, such as the Islington Pumping Station in Kings Lynn, Norfolk. The new pumping station on the bank of the Great Ouse River is complete with a flood defence system as well as upgrades that have increased the station’ s capacity from 2800 litres per second to 16,000 litres per second. The pumps and concrete casing have been rigorously tested to ensure that they are future-proof and therefore able to protect the 6000 hectares of land they are shielding

for decades to come. As the structure is mainly concrete, Hampsey constructed most of the building, as well as providing concrete walls and slabs, including casing for the pumps.

The project was significantly more complex compared to typical urban areas. Having to overcome all the challenges that mother nature throws at it, an environmental infrastructure project such as this has unique requirements that can have critical consequences in the event of failure. However, Hampsey demonstrated that the complex engineering and practical challenges of building on riverbanks were solvable thanks to its depth of knowledge, experience, and skills.

With an impressive portfolio of high-rise builds for a diverse range of clients that have ranged in value from £ 50,000 to £ 10 million, Hampsey has gained extensive knowledge across a variety of concrete solutions. Such expertise sees Hampsey provide feasible,
