| | | | They have maps?! We've been trying to get out of there for better part of 2 years. Thank The Mouse for laptops and cell phones so I can still post. Seriously though the sewer tunnels are almost too small to get through, 3 ft RCP sucks when it's filled with shit. We need to come up with some sort of drain board and SCUBA gear. I hear that's how the workers do it.
I drink gasoline for breakfeast and beer for dinner!
Any problem can be licked with a case of beer and a few sticks of dynamite.

| | | | I think when workers have to go diving in a sewer it would be very rare. If work has to be performed typically they just dam up the sewer and divert it with pumps and pipes.
I managed to find a pic of this being done though.
http://www.applieddiving.com/index.html
Clarifiers and other large tanks at sewage treatment plants would be another story. Try going to google and type in "Hazmat Diving" or "Contaminated Diving".
If you want to have even more fun try "Potable Water Diving".

Bad idea... The only way that that would work would be to use the freedom of information act, and that could possibly bring the FBI into it under terrorist suspicions.
Some guy asked about some steam tunnels under UTA and the FBI investigated him for month's because of terrorist suspicion.

| | | | Thats what 5meodmt is heading for unless he grows some thinking apparatus. Maps are easy to come by if you know where to look. I think theres been what about 20+ topics on how to find maps here alone. The dude needs to start learning that it takes a little research to find out things.

| | | | They aren't hard to get. I have a burned copy of them on CD for Columbus, OH. Just go to you local utility department (Division of Sewers and Drains), and see if they will either sell you or burn you a free copy. They are pretty cool!

That's way if you're going to ask, I suggest taking a female with you. It greatly increases your SE ability. Me and my sister went in to the Dallas Planning Building and played spy. She distracted the only guy that worked in the mapping office while I snuck at peek at them. Actually, it wasn't that cool. We told him we were students studying Urban Development and kept asking him questions about storm drains and drainage in general. Then he offered us copies of most of the sections of the maps, except for the sections that included any federal buildings. Only problem was there wasn't a key and we couldn't make head or tail of them. But, my sister was a big help because he just kept talking to us so he could stare at her some more. She's 15, by the way. Creepy, I know, but she looks older. Maybe he gets lonely all alone in an office full of blueprints and a big mapping table.
Rest in Peace, Ninjalicious. I know that wherever you are, you're finding the best sites for us already. |

| | | | Most cities have to have them (Utility maps) available for surveyors and contractors. You can get them for the asking, in some cases for a small fee.
I got my Longmont one by telling them I was interested in city design for application in a video game I was developing, I gave them a card to show that I really do that and they printed me a map of the features I requested. This was apparently possible (the choosing of features) because they were in process of overhauling their maps to a digital, layered format. This map did not turn out to be as helpful as I hoped, as it was mostly just locates for above ground features of all types, and they were hard to distinguish in the format I got the map in. A friend of mine, however, works at a surveying/construction firm and has access to a map that his company has developed that has exact dimensions and locates for all kinds of city features, supposedly including exact locates and dimensions for the RCP's and box's throughout town.
Now to get a Boulder one, there are way more potentials in that burg.

| | | | Read "The Art of Deception" by Kevin Mitnick. Good way to learn social engineering if you want to take that route.
What I thought of is why don't you poke around with the local surveyors? They might have access to that sort of thing. Ask contractors questions too. Find out where they get their information. Dress up (Professionally? Blue-collared?) and go to the appropriate city office (Public works for us) and get the information you need.
No sir, I'm not trying to break into this abandoned building. I'm birdwatching. The crowbar officer? That's just a distraction so I can get close to them. |
