Fuzzyface Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Not sure if there is already a thread on this, but I thought it would be interesting to see what people actually get up to outside of this forum.I'll happily start;I work for Thames Water in London as a 'Trunk Sewers Inspector'.Basically, I don safety gear, and walk through London's sewers with a handheld camera checking for things like missing mortar, bricks, cracks etc.Feel free to continue..

hunter42 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Student, no job Volunteer work as a professional pain in the ass and nuisance.Started amatuer work as a Domestic worker/maid/servent, but people keep telling me to go away lolI work for Thames Water in London as a 'Trunk Sewers Inspector'.Basically, I don safety gear, and walk through London's sewers with a handheld camera checking for things like missing mortar, bricks, cracks etc.Is it scary? What's the worst thing that's ever happened while on the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzyface Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Is it scary? What's the worst thing that's ever happened while on the job?It's not scary, I actually find it really enjoyable.And a whole mixture of things, I would say the worse thing is when it starts raining. As soon as you hear a surge of water, you got about 30 seconds to get out if you want to live haha.Apart from that, one of the guys I work with once found a live hand grenade down there haha(Just in case I am not believed, the interview is hereJust follow the questions to the left hand side for Rob Smith) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunter42 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Apart from that, one of the guys I work with once found a live hand grenade down there hahaThe most unusual thing found in the sewer system was a hand grenade. Half a Mini once turned up at Beckton Sewage Treatment Works as well....what Half a mini and a grenade.Quick question: Are the drain covers heavy? (Like the one in picture 11) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzyface Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Student/ Police Cadet/ Part of Volinteer cave rescue team.I like the sound of cave rescue. Funnily enough, as much as I don't mind a confined space, caves scare the crap out of me haha.@hunterYou never know, it might be that because of the grenade there was only half a mini And the drain covers can vary, we namely have 3 types of covers, 2 of which are easy and can be moved with one hand, whereas some require 2 men and a bit of sweat.The most annoying part is when local councils re-tarmac roads, they just go straight over the manhole covers, and so we have to break all the tarmac around them to lift them back out [Edit - To be more specific, the one in picture 11 is difficult to get out as the two parts don't FULLY seperate. It's not fun holding a bit of weight as you swing it to the side with your face looking down a 2-20 foot shaft sometimes haha] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jab16 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 The thing that makes me mad is when some preson goes into a small confined space, and gets lost because as a result we have to go in and we all end up with a crushed body, Im refering to parts like the ones below, Those are in a cave that is in my section.The one way in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
