 |  |  | Sewer/Tunnel book
< on 9/29/2003 9:43 PM >
|  | | | I was wandering through the library and saw a book called "Rehabilitation and Maintenance of Drains and Sewers" that I just had to investigate. Most of the book is about cleaning and patching tiny pipes with remote controlled cement injection robots, but there are a few good sections on big tunnels, and on other types of utility tunnels. If anyone's interested in big municipal utility tunnel networks there are some neat diagrams and photos from systems in Paris, Zurich, and other european cities. I was hoping for something about Minneapolis/St. Paul but didn't find any.
Sorry about the quality, all I had with me was an oldschool digital camera and I didn't bother to check out the book and scan the pages.
I like this last one, I think San Francisco has a system like this
Turn off the internet and go play outside.

I have an uncle who works for a company that maintains pipes with robots. When he first mentioned that they used robots, the scene with the pipe vehicle things from The World is Not Enough came to mind. He still hasn't shown me the robots, but if he does, I'll take a few pictures if they're anything interesting. His company also cleans out water tanks of the drinking variety. They frequently have various rotting animals and other contaminants in them.

|  | | | I am not really into tunnels and sewers but I have done 3 myself. It is still interesting to learn about all these european tunnels though, because most of us wont ever get the chance to go into them.
