Storm drain

Pore drainage,

[@danstrayer111]

now I am watching storm drain videos. What has my life become?

[@pneumatic00]

LOL. It's a metaphor. You got ebb, you got flow. You have blockages; you have pressures. Natural forces; gravity, the physics of water. And it's a major pain in the ass when it doesn't go right. Be thankful.

[@trinity6880]

same here.

[@FalorPL]

Yeah 👌

[@KatherineUribe-1]

It's therapeutic. The sound of the rain has that ASMR quality to it. And considering that the human body is 60% water, I think it's perfectly natural.

[@blackwaterhousecork5182]

I spent almost 30 Years working in Flood Mitigation. It is surprising how peaceful it feels Watching this. Thank you.

Caption in beginning said in need of help... so I'll just stand here filming and not do anything... hey meat head.. go pull the grate at the end... what a concept...

[@ckilo11]

the pipe is clogged up with leaves, sticks and general lawn crap. if you are concerned about flooding, then go out there to that holding pond and pull on that blue rope that is attached to the grate to remove it which might not be easy because of the pressure behind the clog. then when the downpour is over... put the grate back in the pipe.

The pipe is installed correctly, if you look just inside the pipe you see a rubber gasket that is only on the bell end. Plastic piping isn't like concrete pipe. I learned working with a pipe crew installing fresh water and storm and sewer water lines in a new development that was 1 mile in length and 3/4 mile wide with a total of 286 miles of lines we had to lay. I suggested to the chief engineer we go old school for the storm drains by eliminating the cast iron grate and simply install an open concrete structure with an opening to the storm drain through the curbing thereby having nothing for leaves and other debris to catch on and block the water flow. It would over time require more storm drain cleaning but we could make it easier by installing a 8x8 x8 foot structure to hold the debris and sand with a storm drain pipe 6 feet off the bottom of the structure. This I told him is how the NYC sewers are set up on the streets for storm water runoff. I the truck driver hired for the pipe crew and was surprised to see very few structures on site. Imagine my surprise when 2 weeks later the structures started arriving exactly as I described to the site engineer. When the site engineer showed up to look at the first structures he stated he ran the numbers and they would save $86 dollars per structure like I described to him. He discovered his supplier carries NYC storm drains in stock as a normally made item hence he was able to buy them cheaper than the New England style cast iron grate storm drain. 5 years later I was visiting a friend who bought a single family house in that housing development I worked on and he said when I asked how the storm drains handled the heavy rain he said you never see any flooding no matter how hard it rains. But a buddy of his bought a house 4 miles down the road and they constantly have to call the town to get the drains cleared as the streets there flood just about every time it rains. I suggested they get the town to clear/clean the storm drains. The town vacuum drain clearing truck removed over 900 tons of sand and debris because it seems that was the first time they cleaned them. Every new development I've ever been into the storm drains fill up with sand from all the construction trucks running around with heavy sand or mud sticking to the tires and coming off in the paved streets, guess where the sand winds up. Yup! In the storm drains. That fixed the flooding from plugged up storm drains and the residents get after the town to clear them every two years which prevents the problem from coming back.

It looks like that iron grate in the pipe slot is getting backed up with debris slowing down the water flow coming out.....

[@carolsmith4653]

Are your st.maintinance afraid to get wet

[@MoneyOverHoezz]

I wonder if that pipe has failed bc of the water coming out of the side or if it was fixed. Pond looks polluted too.

[@happyhappyjoyjoy2154]

Poor drain..story of my life

[@tbonemc2118]

Seems to me the only thing wrong with this setup was someone economised with the number of grates on the street. The street grate you can see was draining well so there definitely wasn't any blockage in the main line.

[@mikemitchell948]

that pipe is in the ground backwards.....should run from spigot to bell not the other way around

[@junkyardgamer911]

This video doesn’t look 6 years old. Looks like an early 90s video

[@johnbadalutz2525]

What about the outlet?

[@tedsmith6137]

"pore drainage', poor spelling.

[@genogeno1234]

Problem number one is the grate at the end of the pipe. Definitely a no no. Get rid of it. It only collects debris that makes its way through the pipe. Problem number two is the pipe appears to be water line, not storm line. It also appears fairly small diameter. Not knowing the drainage area, it is hard to tell. But given the state of affairs, the amateurish way this was installed, I would say it was not properly designed.

[@samikhattak2191]

Its so peaceful

[@Mr.Saephan503]

I'm not a expert on this but it looks fine to me and it looks like all the rain is drain from one spot. Plus this might be one of those day where it rains more then it usually and if you get a lot of rain where you're at then you should know what I'm talking about.

[@rossi19931]

Post 10 wouldve had the streets cleared then that retention pond drained in half the time you filmed this.

[@peteharrison9816]

THAT'S FORCE MAIN PIPE C 900 PIPE .NEVER THE LESS ITS DOING WELL AS DRAIN PIPE . WATER FLOW LOOKS GOOD IT HAS FALL THERE NUMBERS ARE WORKING LOOKS GOOD

[@forbiddencrisis4149]

The most interesting thing in this video is the duck

[@tnscavenger]

That's not a duck... It's a Great Blue Heron.

[@amandahudson431]

9 minutes of my life wasted

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very interesting. Have a nice day now.

[@ljmike1204]

they should ad 2 more drain points with like a 12" pipe

[@johnrichardson9790]

Its a High pressure water supply pipe being used as a drain but there is some thing else wrong.

[@joenewman6939]

I can't understand most of what this guy is saying

[@jeffreymurdock8366]

I swear i know where this is. Looks dead on like the neighborhood my mom inlaw lives in.

[@tonyavila2517]

How did I ended up here?

[@jamesshanks2614]

Typical storm drain pipes for a housing development. I lived in one that flooded every time it rained, I finally told the owner 600 acres he needed to hire a contractor to fix it. He told me the contractor said it would handle a 100 year flood. I asked him to think about that statement 600 acres drawing into a single 12 inch drain pipe. He hired a contractor the next day after over 80 percent of the home owners threaten to sue him. The new contractor started installing 12 inch pipe, I asked the foreman of the crew if that was adequate. He just looked at me. I informed him it should be 36 inch concrete pipe from 150 yards away from the drain that dumped into a man made pond then out the overflow into a stream which was usually dry by mid June. And everything else should be 24 inch pvc pipe and if he didn't stop installing the wrong pipe right this instant I would personally get a cease and stop work order. He told me to go shove it. I left. Less than 2 hours later I returned with the land owner and he asked where the 36 inch drain pipe was. The foreman told him this was more than sufficient. I then showed the foreman video of the last heavy rain we had there and he was like was the drain plugged up? Nope the grate was clear it's flowing like it is because the drain pipe is at capacity, 12 inch plastic pipe. He had a set of planes in his trailer and when we looked at them they were approved for 36 inch but after approval someone had scratched out 36 and written 12 inch. When the owner saw that he freaked and told him stop all work and get your boss here now! The foreman didn't do anything so to my surprise the land owner walked over to the excavator operator and told him to stop digging, he didn't so to my surprise the land owner walked over to his pickup and came out with a Remington 'model 860 12 gauge shotgun then walked over to the foreman and asked politely for him to shut the job down. This time he did but his eyes never left the shotgun which he carried in his right hand muzzle pointed down, cops showed up and asked what was going on and the foreman said he tried to kill him. I asked the lieutenant for a moment of his time and then showed him video I had continuously shot with sound and at no time did it show him threatening anyone. A different contractor showed up three days later and did the job properly. The flooding in heavy rain isn't an issue anymore after I suggested a design change in storm drains. It took the new contractor 5 months to do the job all because the original contractor took a shortcut to increase his profit. When the court case was settled it cost the original contractor over $7 million dollars to settle the case out of court. Twice a year the land owner hires a company that comes in and clear out all the storm drains with a small clamshell designed to clear muck and sand out of storm drains. The flooding issue has been resolved and he has used mu design for the storm drains on two other projects he's built.

You just sound like a busy body prick who knows everything

[@andypreston1524]

Pore spelling.................

[@hrhjrd]

Looks to me like it is draining fine. Never filled up

[@1506pinkers]

Just like an August Bank Holiday in the UK...........

[@WesleyAPEX]

There’s more trash in that pond than water

[@polarbear1754]

I swear the guy filming is getting a chubby from the way he's panting.

[@mouse6196]

Looks like bell end attached then pipe cut...backwards

[@trumpingtonfanhurst694]

Ok youtube I watched the stupid video now can you please stop putting it in my recommended? Thank You.

[@Cornfed_Off-road]

Amen, seems like crap and reruns....and crap that refuses to go away

[@kurtismckemmie4850]

Storm drain= crane pond

[@johnpietros9439]

Stupid video, more it rains, more it drains. What’s the problem? Try filming more birds, at least they are interesting
