Wanlip Sewage Works, Wanlip, Charnwood, Leicestershire. 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1960s, capturing a pivotal moment in the construction of Wanlip Sewage Works in Leicestershire. The image showcases a group of dedicated workers concreting a section of wall in separating tank No. 4, highlighting their commitment to building this essential infrastructure. The significance of this project becomes evident as we delve into its history. With work commencing in December 1958, the entire site had to be coffer-dammed with sheet piling before excavation due to its proximity to the River Soar. This precautionary measure ensured that the construction would not be compromised by water ingress. The initial contract encompassed three aeration tank units with 36 pockets each, along with an additional unit featuring 18 pockets. Within each unit were four separating tanks, all crucial components for effective sewage treatment processes. Furthermore, other vital structures such as a return sludge pump house, effluent outfall pipelines, and a permanent access road were also constructed during this phase. Upon completion in mid-1961, the Company responsible for this remarkable achievement was awarded another contract for the power and pumphouse substructure at Wanlip Sewage Works. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this photograph serves as both an artistic portrayal and historical documentation of hardworking individuals who contributed significantly to improving public health through efficient wastewater management systems.
