Description

An introduction for budding manhole spotters to the UK's common pavement-logos and street furniture and a potted history of who built those networks and subsequent numerous acquisitions. Who is using those networks today? Inspired a little bit by Ingrid Burrington's book (ISBN 1612195423) of a similar theme. Interactive video snippet: https://nyti.ms/2At6KQU In addition, I'll go through some experiences we've had in building new infrastructure and whats involved. What's in the manholes? What's a subduct? What's the difference in cost for digging in the carriageway vs footway vs grass verge. What are others (Gigaclear, B4RN etc.) doing to keep this cost down?
