Ryde Pumping Station, Heritage pumping station in West Ryde, Australia.

The Ryde Pumping Station consists of an administration block, engine house, and boiler house with brick walls and steel frame construction across multiple buildings.

Built in 1891 by William Adams & Co, the station initially operated two vertical compound pumping engines that lifted 3,400 gallons of water per minute.

The station received an Engineering Heritage National Marker from Engineers Australia, acknowledging its contribution to national water infrastructure development.

The facility maintains its role in Sydney's water supply network, delivering an average of 215 million liters of water daily to northern suburbs.

The station features a preserved rail viaduct system that allowed coal wagons to deposit fuel directly into hoppers for steam power generation.
