HERITAGE ENGINEERING SERVICES

Heritage Engineering covers a very broad field, but best describes some of the very interesting and rewarding projects that we have been involved with over the years. We have carried out projects for leading museums and organisations in the country such as:

• Museum Of Science & Industry, Manchester
• Liverpool Industrial Museum
• Bradford Industrial Museum
• Kew Bridge, London.
• Wigan Pier
• Beamish

Restoring and Installing:

• Steam Engines
• Heavy Victorian Machinery
• Hydraulic Equipment
• And various other items that are connected with the heritage world.

CASE STUDY: HERITAGE ENGINEERING PROJECT
CLIENT: MUSEUM OF SCIENCE & INDUSTRY, MANCHESTER
JOB: RESTORE WILLIAM PEEL BEAM ENGINE, AND INSTALL IN NEW GALLERY
SCOPE OF WORK The job entailed removing the Beam Engine from Helmshore Industrial Museum. We then transported it back to our works, where it was stripped down fully, the castings that were cracked in places were repaired using cast iron welding techniques, the burnished rods were polished, and the whole engine was re-built and mounted onto a steel support frame. We then transported it to the Science Museum in Manchester, where it was skated into position and the flywheel mounted. It now resides in the new gallery on show to hundreds of visitors weekly.
