Usine élévatoire des eaux, Pumping station factory in Trilbardou, France.
The Trilbardou factory contains a large water wheel measuring 11 meters in diameter and 6 meters wide, operating under a 1.20-meter waterfall.
The pumping station, completed in 1865 during Napoleon III's reign, was built to address water supply issues for the Ourcq Canal following droughts in 1858.
This industrial facility demonstrates the engineering advancement of the 19th century through its hydraulic system designed by engineer Alphonse Sagebien.
The facility opens for visitors on specific dates including June 7, July 28, and August 24, 2024, with tours running from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM.
The station maintains its original Sagebien machine, which can pump 27,000 cubic meters of water daily from the Marne River into the Ourcq Canal.
