A NEW ELECTRIC-POWER STATION IN SOUTHERN ENGLAND TAKES SHAPE.—The Central Electricity Generating Board’s oil-fired 2000mw power station at Fawley under construction on the west bank of Southampton Water. The dock (right) will be used to bring in heavy equipment. Cooling water for the four sets of turbines will flow through the intake (left). In the background, the round administration and control building can be seen. Work on the main foundations, which is most complex because of the nature of the ground, is being carried out by a construction company whose contract, when placed, was the highest civil one ever let by the board.
