Theres 8 culverts along the Gore brook, achieving 7 since May 2014.
Finally managing all 8, thankyou too Jobs and Paradox for making this happen.
The access is tight too say the least, maybe its time too diet
theres a ledge but wouldnt want too slip , the chute leads too a sump and syphan resulting in drowning.
But once in it was well worth the effort , theres some facinating brick work along these pipes
even though the concrete tubes are abit boring.
Gorton Falls by stranton, visited with Jobs & Paradox.
This is a 2 mile culvert which carries the Gore brook across and around Gorton high / low reservoirs,
discharge from the reservoirs exits via a spillway, 200yd culvert, then merges beneath the first falls.
The infall lies too the east of Gorton high reservoir, towards Audenshaw reservoir.
The culvert consists of concrete tube, brick pipe, falls (one which is substantial) and side pipes or tubes.
Rather than the usual outfall theres a 20yd chute which leads too a sump then syphon, lies too the west of Gorton low reservoir.
the sump lies below this captures the dregs, while the syphan lies above this causes water too rise by pressure,
this concrete tube continues towards the infall
Jungle
first falls
the pipe on right is the discharge from the reservoir
discharge from the reservoir
2nd falls
this chute leads to the sump and syphan,
slip here and the result will be drowning
discharge from the sump and syphan,
kind of strange outfall
subway too reservoir, blocked with debris at opposite side
thanks for viewing
