(Viewed 431 times) Fat Tony  Noble Donor Location: Regina Gender: Male  |  |  Valve Chamber? < on 2/13/2005 9:25 PM >   I've done some searching around (here, google, etc), and have not been able to find a definition of "Valve Chamber". This is with respect to a campus steam tunnel network. Would I be correct in guessing that these are like... "Control Stations" where you can turn steam off and on to the various tunnels? I found a list of locations on my campus, and will probably head out and try to see what these actually are, and if they're outside accessible.

I hope you do have a real utility tunnel network, otherwise you may be disappointed -- the existence of valve chambers may be indicative of a ducted system where the pipes themselves are not actually human-accessible without a backhoe, with periodic valve chambers that concentrate the control valves in one place.

Basically it is a little concrete room beneath a manhole with some pipes coming in one wall and going out one or more other walls. The presence of vaults almost guarantees that there is not a tunnel nearby. On the other side of the walls the pipes pass through, the pipe is buried directly in the ground.

I ended up coming home to visit family instead of staying at school for spring break. I'll have to investigate more when I get back up. I do know that there are around 18km of tunnels beneath my school, but I'm not sure if these are in the tunnels, or if they're something else.
