Arts centre flooded - pumps in action


Notice from the Barbican Centre - Emergency Tanker Works

Last weekend on Sunday 5 April the Barbican Centre suffered from a critical failure to some of its pump mechanisms that resulted in substantial flooding.

Due to the nature of the failure, and damage caused, the only interim solution was to remove the waste water by use of an emergency tanker. Some Residents will already be aware, since the generator and pumping from the tanker causes not insubstantial noise. We apologise that this happened on a Sunday however this is a serious flood and has to be rectified as soon as possible.

This situation has been brought under control to an extent and a temporary solution is in place whilst we attempt to replace/repair the pumps (and electrics / control panels). The tanker will remain on site but will only be used in an emergency if the measures fail.

We will continue to update regarding further development.
