Bramshot Cooling Towers (579)

Built: 1951
Decommissioned: 2002

The test cells, experimental equipment and gas turbines under test required a plentiful supply of cooling water and for this purpose a complicated network of reservoirs, cooling towers, pump houses and pipe circuits were installed at Pyestock.

Some of the cooling towers were small, wooden framed constructions whilst others were built on a much larger scale from concrete and metal.

The Bramshot Cooling Tower dominated the mid-northern section of the site and served Cell 3, Cell 3 West and Cell 4. It had its own water reservoir and Water Pumping House and had a total capacity of 650,000 gallons of softened water.
