Wanlip Sewage Works, Wanlip, Charnwood, Leicestershire, 31/03/1960. Workers concreting a section of wall in separating tank No.4 at Wanlip Sewage Works. Work began on the construction on Wanlip Sewage Works in December 1958. The entire site had to be coffer-dammed with sheet piling before excavation, due to the proximity of the River Soar. The initial contract included the construction of three aeration tank units with 36 pockets, and one aeration tank with 18 pockets. Also incorporated in each unit were four separating tanks. A return sludge pump house, effluent outfall, pipelines and a permanent access road were also constructed as part of this contract. After completion in mid 1961, the Company were awarded a further contract for the power and pumphouse substructure.
