I havent been online much these days but still explorin like mad. Most recently: New Orleans drainage system:



Later it got crazy when we entered a tunnel by hopping over a barbed wire fence only to be surrounded by roaches and humming noises.

We backed out after determining it was an outflow from a constructed reservoir. Flooding=Bad.

Out in Portland Oregon the drains are unusually hard to get into. Using some interesting old maps we have managed to find a very interesting looking one, but the only manhole to it is buried. This should be fun, the game is on.

Until more news on that here are a few pictures from one of portland's few easy to access drains: The Lower Macleay Park Inlet

This is leading up to the infall:

the stream is crossed by a number of rickety old wooden pathways. Suspended below them are wire screens stopping debris from entering the drain.

Next comes the actual inlet structure. This structure is so awesome, that I am going to leave it a secret for now. You will just have to check it out to see it for yourself. Once you get past the infall structure a pleasingly oval RCP greets you:



Just inside looking out:



Looking down:



The drain is full of amazing artwork, some of which is quite good. Some of which is very educational, like a timelined hall of great scientists. And some of which is quite silly like the famous (or infamous) hall of cocks.



The drain itself is rather long and boring until it almost reaches the river. At that point it is joined in a confluence with another large drain. Perhaps more pictures to come later.

Hope you enjoyed.

Have not explored to much of it most of its just your basic straight rcb with a few side pipes that go into much smaller pipes.Where I was it was all the same until I came upon the section in the photo tho I can only hope for something to be very awsome around a bend but im still searching and loving every bit of it.Awsome photos Steam everyone of them

Finally stumbled upon this board tonight. So awesome to see pics from other drain systems. Can't wait to get to other cities and explore.

Myself and a few other people around town have been exploring the L.A. system lately:

Here are a few from a little while back.

Pretty old branch of tunnels for L.A. Don't typically see too much brickwork down there.

Nice shots! I checked out a couple of drains when I was in la, but they were all concrete. Here in Portland we have really been making headway on exploring the system. Most of the drains seem as though we may be some of the earliest explorers and some are quite fantastic. The night before last we walked a mile through a cramped double barrel system to get to where they merged together. Good times!

Los Angeles has some great spots. Completely under explored. Literally hundreds of miles of explorable tunnels. Surprised more people haven't been in there.

I put in a few days a while back. Here are some of the picks from that trip.

I've had total shit luck finding drains. I live in Gresham and our manhole depth is really good sometimes, about 15 feet down on some I've found, but the pipes are TINY. Like, less than 12" it seems. Really disappointing. Here's a picture pulled from the city's website:



Like I said, total shit. How does one go about finding good drains to explore in? Am I just looking in the wrong places, or does my city just suck?

Sorry this reply is, like, a half year late but I have found that the easiest way to locate explorable drains is to start at a river or outfall and work your way back up the drain. Depending on the type of drain it will either end in a body of water (stormwater or overflow) or in a treatment plant (sanitary). If you were to randomly lift a city manhole and start exploring you would run the risk of ending up in an extremely toxic environment like bad air or find yourself in a large volume dropshaft or sewage macerator. Not to say this can't happen if you start at an outfall, but your direction of travel will be more "informed" and as long as you travel upstream, you know your emergency exit is the natural flow of water.

I can't say I have ever found a worthwile drain by randomly lifting manholes unless I was actively searching for a location/feature in the vicinity.

If you want maps, try googling "[your city name] + cso" and you should have a good starting point for finding drains. The environmentalists have been keeping pretty good records for you to pick through.
