Facts and practical information

Gemaal Van Sasse is a Dutch pumping station near the John S. Thompson Bridge in Grave. It allows water to flow from the Peel through the small river Raam into the Maas.

The Van Sasse pumping station is the first electric pumping station built in the region by the then De Maaskant water board. The pumping station was made necessary by the construction of a weir in the Maas which raised the water level. This meant that the Raam could no longer simply discharge its water into the Maas. 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.

The pumping station is named after jhr. mr. A.F.O. van Sasse van Ysselt, the first chairman of the water board De Maaskant. The pumping station is now a national monument.

On November 14, 2010, the pumping station had to be turned back on for the first time in twelve years.
