Brighton I360 Sewer Diversion

The old Victorian brick sewer runs along Brighton seafront. To allow the construction of the new Brighton I360 Tower on the site of the old Brighton West Pier. The sewer had to be diverted as it was running through the centre of huge foundations of the tower. This is a short video of CJ Thorne & Co Ltd of Uckfield, East Sussex cutting into the old Brighton sewer and diverting the flow into the new 1600mm concrete sewer pipe running around the I360 to the South of the new foundations. The work was completed January 2015.

I'm impressed with the original brick work here. Those tunnels have got to be over 100 years old!

[@stephenhall3515]

Yes, sadly the hi-tech (but very weak) diversion of the Bazalgette style triple brick sewer with flexion suitable for a coastal site was to make way for an expensive failure of a small tower and cramped observation ring made by foreign contractors. The i360 placed the city in debt immediately.

[@chrisdaniels4674]

Sure is amazing how great of shape that sewer pipe is in. Amazing craftsmanship

[@rustblade5021]

the fact they were able to lift that whole piece out without it crumbling is incredible

[@reillyfamily7557]

HOLY SHITE!!!......You Geezers across the Pond Do SOME DAMN QUALITY WORK!!......Christ!.....THOSE BRICKS WERE OLDER THAN THE UNITED STATES ITSELF!!......Talking about CRAFTSMENSHIP!! NOBODY KNOWS THIS SANITARY WORK LIKE THE UK!!....BRAVO MATES!👍🏻👍🏻....Much Respect from the 🇺🇸

[@VREDFOX]

Really like the inflatemathing poopstopper, I've imagined this kind of task as an operation involving powerful pumps to divert the flow, but as it turns out the solution is as simple as brilliant

[@barbaraaspengen9810]

Thank to all the workers for a job well done. We should be so grateful to you.

Sewer bypass surgery, love it. It must be an interesting sort of job

[@PetterBruland]

What do we eat, shitty food, what do we need solid sewers! Yay. Honestly interesting in what education / training is needed to work on this. This is something I think I would enjoy far better than working with network security. Getting dirty, engineering solutions, fixing flowing shit. Good stuff

[@Joshua543215]

Well done, not a usual job - this is something special.

[@craigstyrin3453]

Great work done...the most loving part was in this video that temporary bypass arrangements with inflatable plug and PVC pipe. The new concrete should be painted with chemical resistance Epoxy paint or use GRP lining for long life of concrete.

There wee gooooo I was finding this video like forever

[@ocsrc]

I used to walk through 6 foot and 10 foot diameter brick tunnels in my town that carried the waste water straight to the river

[@danielclift1]

must take so long building them old pipes out of bricks

[@guganotubo]

it was an art

[@sticky170]

Time wasn't a cost factor back in them days. Neither was labour cost.

[@jonesconrad1]

@@sticky170 time most certainly was a cost factor, the basics of money and economics haven't changed, the point was they didn't have the power tools and vehicles we have to day so that was how they had to do it, and it had to take that long,

[@danielledan6400]

This is the whole new level of I shat a brick.. 🚽🧻💨

Looks like that sewer will be due for an upgrade soon - it's over 1/2 capacity.

Look up what ”fatburgs” are. The waste now vs back then is completely different,much less people not to mention much less plastic that literally doesn't degrade, in our lifetimes anyway. I bet you the job in the past was easier

[@nolderless]

I noticed that the water flow was also inverted, not only the tube direction!

I built those sewers. They were one of many without a voissour or a keystone.

[@g2macs]

If I was in one of those hotels, I'd bung a ton of green dye into the bog just to see what happens.

[@BossySwan]

Fascinating

[@jonathonvince3605]

Wouldn't the flow of the liquid pull on the ends of the exposed brickwork and erode it?

[@bg147]

I had no idea the old pipes were made with individual bricks and they looked perfect. Not sure if we have much of that here in the US.

[@dpeagles]

I think boston had some like this.

[@JG-pw5cr]

Plenty of sewers all over the US that have brick. Not really something that is done too much anymore but plenty of the old stuff needs to get repaired from time to time.

[@eggman2762]

Do you know when the segment was going in that thing some one says Llayton and mt name is Llayton and the voice sounds like my dads voice is that amazing

[@70Kenny]

Can anyone explain this to me: When the workers cut open the old brick line, the sewage is flowing from left to right, with the new line at an angle opposite the flow. Then after the concrete is set and the rubber bungs are pulled, the sewage flows OUT of the new line and into the old line opposite the direction of the original flow. I've watched this over and over and I can't understand it!

[@seventhecat4828]

70Kenny the one you got confused is the other end of new concrete sewer run, with water going back into brick lined sewer. At the start of video, the water is going into concrete sewer from brick lined sewer. It all about going around the Brighton tower and back into original sewer.

Why did they need to do this ? Where did the original tunnel go ? Did it pour straight into the river ? I am guessing that the new tunnel goes to a sewer treatment plant
