@@Mike6867 hard to explain really, there is a place in Sheffield call walkley, near the bottom of walkley there is a loud storm drain network running 24/7, the chamber had been checked up on and for what ever reason it was left open. Me and some friends decided to go down. It was really loud you couldn't hear yourself talk so I brought something to make it quiet but not too quiet. We got half way and I remember this gust of wind hit our faces. We Ran until we ended up in a huge chamber that had 2 floors and climbed as fast as we could. We looked down and we were happy that we were up there rather than down there as the water could take you off your feet really easily. We had no choice but to get out of the chamber and lift the manhole to see where we were. We were on some sort of concrete path next to a river (we think it was river don) and found our way back. The manhole we went down has been closed ever since and not been able to go down. It was a good but scary explore. Also when we went out of the manhole when we felt the gust of wind a few old people were wondering what we were doing and had to lie and say we were inspecting possible sinkholes.

what an awesome drain network especially that chamber..enjoyed it so much thank you!

It makes me wonder how they designed those really small holes on the side. These are cool, but I would be wary every minute while exploring them and always keep track of where every exit point and ladder is. The reason being that at any time upstream, an unexpected burst of a large water main could fill that tunnel halfway or more. I'm over in the USA and near one of the largest metropolitan areas in the city, but the pipes throughout the city are up to 100 years old. They burst constantly and send massive amount of water into the sewers equivalent to if it instantly rained 5-10 inches within an hour. Also, pockets of methane are lethal. One second you're walking and the next you step into a pocket of air that is as strong as when you turn the stove eye on before it lights. All it takes is *one* breath of that and all of your oxygen is gone. Your body drops down and you're trapped in that pocket. Anyone attempting to save you usually falls to the same fate. In the old days, they used to bring a canary in a cage down into caves, which have similar problems. This is why when you see city works open up a manhole cover, they put a big yellow pipe about a foot in diameter down into it and pump oxygen into it for a while before going down there. Maybe get a methane detector?

Yes the tunnels can (and often do) fill with water during heavy rain "surge" events, that is what the large round chambers are for, They hold the excess flow until it subsides. During heavy rain they also act as sewer overflow chambers known as a combined sewer overflow (or CSO) where untreated sewage is mixed with rain water and discharged into rivers/streams (which is why you can see wet wipes every so often in the video) . You also have to be very careful as some surface/storm water systems are connected to storage tanks which store surface/rain water and release it in torrents to reduce, flooding. Which can catch you off guard (as you can see in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Znp3lsaocteZico.html&lc=UgysSqhveoD_Wt6Lph14AaABAg.9i9E0vsHrKX9iDdS5EcLuX)

Any advice before we do We will have tunnel maps, rope, torches, waterproofs, wellies and string to find our way back. There is 12 of us going. 1 or 2 have explored the tunnels, but over 30 years ago. I assume we will need permission off the local council or United utilities as this can be extremely dangerous.

To be honest mate it's extremely unlikely that you'll get permission from United Utilities. My disclaimer is I don't recommend doing this as its dangerous and unpredictable. Now I can't be sued lol, It sounds like you're taking sensible precautions such as rope etc, and it's handy you have underground maps - this is a rarity in urban exploring. I can't really give you more advice as you're already covering most things except from be sure it's not a swer due to noxious gasses, you can get an air quality detector for these purposes if desired. Also, probably obvious, but be mindful of the likelihood you'll need to lift a manhole to get into these places. If I can give you any more info, let me know.

You need to be extremely cautious, I work in these environments and I wouldn’t want to risk going in without a gas monitor. Storm drain can leave deposits of silt and organic matter. when that stuff breaks down it releases carbon dioxide, it’ll suffocate you without you knowing about it. Hydrogen sulphide can be found in the thick black silt which can smell of rotten eggs if you disturb it, it’s extremely flammable and toxic. The local authority would never give permission for the public to enter this environment so I wouldn’t even bother asking. Always let people know where you are and remember if something happens it’s extremely unlikely the fire service will be able to save you because they need to get specialist crew in for that stuff.

George Wang, In the description at the top of the page he stated that he's in north west England. Mountain country most likely. Lots of hills and altitude changes. That explains the ladders. And all of "smaller" pipes coming from various directions most likely means small town streets (with storm drains on every 3 way and 4 way intersection) that lead to a main drain on the "county roads". I can tell you that at one specific intersection in the town that I live in in NJ USA there are 8 different "smaller" drain pipes that all lead to one massive main pipe all within 50 feet of each other. The smaller pipes are no bigger around than your chest cavity and lead to 8 different street corner storm drains at the 5 points that they all connect to. The massive pipe that they lead to is big enough to fit "Volkswagen Beetle".

I know what that is, It’s a CSO chamber also known as combined sewer overflow. at one point there is an open section where the wastewater is flowing through. Because to be cheap, they connect road storm drains to these sewers to not build a separate storm drain system. In the rains the sewage is free to overflow out of that open section, and into a tunnel or pipe and into the nearest waterway, or could just be overflowing out a room with vents into a waterway. sometimes they have ultrasonic detectors to detect and mark times of overflow with history of rain. ect onto a computer. i’ve only watched 2 minutes and that’s my theory
