Pump station at the Turfsingel

The pump station features a rectangular layout with reinforced concrete construction, complemented by large glass panels and a sloping roof supported by tapered columns.

Built in 1953 during the post-war reconstruction period, the pump station stands as a testament to the nationwide effort to rebuild infrastructure after World War II.

The structure reflects the architectural vision of Willem Marinus Dudok, who incorporated modernist principles into public utility buildings throughout the Netherlands.

Located at Turfsingel 16 in Groningen, the pump station operates as part of the municipal water management system, ensuring proper drainage for the surrounding area.

The station represents one of 112 similar structures built until 1967, combining a transformer house with operational facilities in a standardized design approach.
