Heavy Construction of a Sewage Pump Station – Ep 3 [video]

This series of construction videos is some of the most interesting content I've seen on the Practical Engineering (or in this case, also branded as Practical Construction) channel. Highly recommended to watch on Nebula.

Keep up the great work, Grady!

Pretty cool!

One thing that fascinated me working for a sanitation district was that we had some huge pumping stations like this, but hiding in plain sight.

There would be a metal vault cover in the sidewalk, it opens up to a stairwell, then you walk downstairs to a massive concrete wet well and pumping station under the street.

I had no idea they were even there, but they are, especially in urban areas.

It's a lot cheaper to build them above ground, but they did what they had to to move sewage.

This video series is one of the best pieces of content I’ve watched on YouTube. If anyone has other similar recommendations then please share!
