I see it labled some maps of sewers I have been looking at, but I have no clue what it means. Anybody know? click to view "Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it."

This could mean a structural support on the side of the tunnel, or maybe a wall blocking you off. kowalski   |  Re: Bulkhead Question <Reply # 2 on 10/24/2003 5:29 AM >   It's hard to tell what the scale is on this map. A bulkhead can also be an embankment, by the way.

A bulkhead can also be an embankment, by the way. There is nothing visable above ground in that area, part runs under a highway. The scale is about 4 city blocks high X 6-7 blocks wide.

YOu might not even notice a difference while IN the tunnel but I would assume the walls would be thicker or perhaps some extra archways every 5-10 feet under the highway.

And you can never lean on it, or the Master At Arms (essentially the police officer) will scream at you for an hour. Believe me, I take this from experience.

Unlikely this means anything to drains, though I guess it could indicate a drop in elevation.
