Christmas Tree 4821 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Does anybody actually have any knowledge of them? When I start to think about them my head hurts in the same way as when I think about the infinite universe. I understand it leaves the house and joins another bigger sewer in the street, but we live at the bottom of a hill with only fields behind us so what forces it uphill? Then there are hundreds of houses in the same boat trying to force their shit up hill. I then imagine it somehow getting to a fuck off size pipe under the main road in the village. By now we are talking thousands of houses worth and I know of no sewage works nearby. How and where does it travel too. Genuinely fascinated by this and hoping we have a sewage guy on board.

Christmas Tree 4821 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 This fascinating subject has been put on hold while I investigate NLP and cure my flying phobia. I will return to the sewers shortly as it's fascinating stuff. I still await Gemmils link to the appropriate sewerage documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4821 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 The South Bank Interceptor sewer comprises two main legs that together serve a population of 210,000. D leg is approximately 10.7km long with a maximum diameter of 1500 mm and gravitates eastwards from Gateshead to Jarrow. B leg is approximately 7.5km long with a maximum diameter of 1350 mm. It runs west from South Shields to a major pumping station at Jarrow where the flow is lifted up to join with D leg. All flows pass through Jarrow preliminary treatment works then through an inverted Hydraulic modelling to manage Tyneside Interceptor siphon under the River Tyne to Howdon Sewage Treatment Works. The sewer model is GIS based and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4821 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 what kind of sewer are you talking about? sanitary or storm? Sometimes they're combined. Basically Im fascinated by the average house sewage and how the thousands of houses in a neighbourhood join up and travel miles under their own steam to a cleansing site. Gateshead and South Tyneside sewer systems both flow 5 or 6 miles to Jarrow before crossing the tyne. It amazes me the network involved in coordinating hundreds of thousands of homes into one tube and then that tube travelling miles to a final destination.
