I saw them building this drain, so once the diggers moved out, the UrbanUnderworld team moved in. The big flap over the outfall. |
|
Not all the work was finished - here you can see a piece of plywood covering one of the manholes. |
|
From the entry chamber, just behind the flap, a 1.5m RCP leads off with a very small flow of water discharging. |
|
After just 20m we discovered this unique feature. We have never seen it on any other drain. It appears to be some sort of chamber that can separate pollution from the water flow. However, it was impassable so we exited the drain and found a manhole upstream of the obstacle. |
|
Looking back downstream to the pollution trap. |
|
Oggy tries a manhole cover, only to find that we were under the hard shoulder of the M62 motorway!!!! |
|
A couple of hundred metres further and the journey ends at a fourway small RCP split. |
