Description

Penzance Dry Dock (PDD) is famously steeped in history, currently being the oldest operational dry dock of its type in Europe but requires drastic investment after decades of neglect and dilapidations.

While the surrounding shipyards, across the county and country have seen investment, PDD has slipped through the net time and time again.

As part of this refit, PDD wishes to replace our current pumping system to the dry dock with a new one, moving away from conventional pumps and motors above the water line.

Currently, the pumps we have, have two 45kw motors. PDD does not wish to exceed the current amperage draw on start up by any newly installed motors.

The key objectives are:

• To replace the current aged pump system, estimated to be installed 40 to 50 years ago and to install a new modern pumping system to the dry docks that will considerably improve the efficiency of the emptying of the dry docks. The current operational time from full to empty is approximately 4 hours with 2 pumps.

Capital investment, part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund,
