Pumping station Van Sasse

Van Sasse Pumping Station is a Dutch pumping station near the John S. Thompson Bridge in Grave. It allows the water from the Peel to flow into the Meuse via the river Raam.

The Van Sasse pumping station is the first electric pumping station built in the region by the former water board De Maaskant. The pumping station had become necessary due to the construction of a weir in the Meuse that raised the water level. As a result, the Raam could no longer simply discharge its water onto the Meuse. In 1928-1929 the pumping station was built and in 1929 it was put into operation. Around 1950 and again in 1981, some of the equipment was modernized.
