Take A Guided Tour Beneath the City Streets
Walking or driving on a city road, did you ever thought, what is below your feet? Let us take you, with us, on a guided tour of what goes on, below the city streets.
It’s not a very nice place to travel to, still, Its good to know what’s there. Think about the people who conceived and built these. This will let us appreciate the beauty of our cities even more..
Just below the carpeted road are power lines. below them are ducts for telecommunication and TV cables. below that are waterlines that bring us fresh water for washing and cleaning.
Below water lines, there are steam pipes for heating. below them are GAS pipes that let us cook our dinner. All this take up the up to 6 meter of space.
Below that exist our transportation network. subways and rails that take us all around the city. below that is the sewage network of pipes that take all that we drain down the shower and commodes.
Below that is… well, look at the image below as it contains a cross section of a typical downtown street.
Hope you enjoyed the tour with us..
