SIM Power Hall Historic Engine Contractor

The Science Museum Group seeks a supplier to assess the internal details and condition of the historic working machines (HWMs) housed in the Power Hall. A preliminary audit (Stage 1) has already been completed, focusing on identifying the scope of work required for the comprehensive audit (Stage 2).

This work will achieve the following five key outcomes:

• Benchmarking: Establish a baseline for monitoring wear and tear over the medium and long term, supporting the ongoing care of the historic machinery.
• Unseizing Engines: Free up seized engines where feasible.
• Essential Repairs: Identify the critical remedial measures required to return the machines to working condition.
• Costed Recommendations: Provide costed and prioritised recommendations for additional repairs or improvements to optimise conservation, performance, and longevity. This will also assist with the Museum's long-term budget planning.
• Engine Sustainability: Inform maintenance, inspection, and operation plans to ensure the engines can be run sustainably for the foreseeable future.
