Refurbishment of 1956 heritage turbine

Our engineers were on site last week completing the commissioning of a 1956 Gilkes Turgo turbine, now fully modernised and upgraded for continued service.

Originally rated at 56kW, this heritage turbine has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment to enhance reliability, longevity, and control. The scope of work includes:
 

⚙️ A fully engineered and designed solution

🔌 New power & control cabling

🧠 Upgraded controls and governing systems for improved responsiveness

🔄 Future-ready generator stored on-site

🏡 Locally generated power supports the estate directly
 

This project will ensure efficient and sustainable operation for years to come.

Well done to the Gilkes Engineering team for delivering another outstanding upgrade!  💪
