Sewer network model

A six-metre layout model of a sewer network: its chambers, pipework and valves, and the equipment that watches over them, laid out in gravel under glass, the road above and the pipes beneath cut open.

How it was made, hour by hour

130 hours of work recorded

  1. 01

    What was asked

    A detailed scale model of the whole system as it is arranged — its enclosure, process areas, tanks, pipework, valves, fittings and equipment — to see, review and present it in three dimensions.

  2. 02

    How it was made

    Its components divided across 32 machines and printed by FDM and SLA in PETG, ABS and polycarbonate, with parts cut by CNC: 130 hours on the printers in all. Then the parts were finished and assembled into the six-by-three-metre layout.

  3. 03

    What was handed over

    One clear picture of the network, from the road on top to the pipes beneath it, in a model visitors walk round.

From the studio

  • The delivered model under its glass: a grey chamber with its sensors in pale gravel, yellow pipes cut open, the road and its compartments beyond.
  • Looking down through the glass on the model's road, a valve in its chamber and the flowmeter beside them.
  • An inspection robot in a yellow pipe cut open along its length, laid in the gravel.
  • A blue gate valve and its fittings in their chamber, seen through the glass.
  • The flowmeter in its chamber, blue and white, on its length of pipe.
  • A street drain's grate and the yellow pipe it feeds, in the gravel under the glass.
