Japan Wins: Most Photogenic Public Works Project, EVER.

Posted by: Rachel Hulin Posted date: July 8, 2008 | 1 Comment

“To avoid floodings on typhoon season, the city of Saitama in Japan
features an impressive storm sewer system. Its construction started in
1992, and its composed by giant concrete silos (65m tall, 32m wide)
connected by 6.4km of underground tunnels 50m below the surface. It
also has a giant tank: 25.4m tall, 177m long and 78 wide, with 59
concrete columns.

This impressive structure is open for tourists. “

Damn straight, sewers should multi-task as vacation hot spots! Go here for more pictures and various youtubes.

James Cameron should take note. What’s that guy up to, anyway?
