Unclogging Lake Intake Culvert

  • I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
    I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
    Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards.

    Hey Post. Do you reckon that when the DoT come along and find that work has already been done, do you reckon they know it's you. Maybe they check your recent videos to see if they need to go out to certain places.
    It's incredible work Sir.
    I know things to be a fact if I've heard you say it.
    I reckon by the time you get to a certain age you won't even need to use the rake, it'll just clear with a wave of your hand.
    There's a lot of crazy, awful, selfishness and just plain mean stuff happening in the world but just knowing that there's people like you out there, doing what you do, with knowledge and effort, then it makes it a bit more bearable.
    Knowledge and effort is the key to saving us.

The small fish can allways swim to the river from the culvert, hope they do. It was nice summer day here too, about 24 Celsius but it was cold and rainy few days only 14 C but it was good to have some water in the forests, billberries need the water right now, it is almost time to go and pick some.

    • @HousrastenOfficial
      @HousrastenOfficial Рік тому +3

      the turtles can survive if the sea/lake freezes up, they can swim a while and they can notice holes in the ice or small air pockets and remember them /they know where they are. However if a river /lake freezes with a thick ice cap like this one does they basicaly dead right ahead. reason for this is they can live in freezing temps but after a certain temp the lower part freezes and with it their organs. its a tad sad but thats the circle of life and the fishes in the lake get something to eat after starving like a month or two if it melts

    Howdy. You were talking about trash racks a while back. Umm, kinda like a debris catcher?
    look what i found.
    Trash Racks
    Trash racks are installed on the upstream face of the power intake to prevent large debris from entering the water conveyance and causing an obstruction in the turbines. The spacing of the trash rack bars is normally specified by the turbine manufacturer.
    The primary bars of the rack are oriented vertically, and the whole rack is inclined at 8° to 15° to help the cleaning equipment.
    Manual trash rack cleaning may be adequate for small intakes. In that case, a platforms may be provided for safe access to the face of the intake. For larger intakes, permanent mechanical rakes are installed if the debris load justifies their cost. If not, the intake gates may be closed while the racks are cleaned with a rake on a mobile crane.
    In rare circumstances, divers are used to clean the racks. This is an extremely hazardous operation, because intake gate leakage can cause enough flow velocity at the face of the rack to trap divers.
