saw some interesting things while on a walk the other day!

for starters, all of the retaining walls along this creek look like they were made of lots of cemented concrete cores?

and while the concrete headwall isn't exactly unusual, I've never seen an "organic" end section like this tree before 😭

I was on a walk yesterday and saw these funky special design curb-type inlets used to drain a (3"?) V-ditch along a short retaining wall

Usually you'd see ditches with culverts beneath roads/driveways, but I figure with the natural gas line and homes they didn't have the room for full ditches 🧐

Thinking of the high water sign from ANEX, before and after the weekend.

Unfortunately I don't think it'll be warming any motorists of potential flood-prone roadways with all those stickers (including one from me!!) 😭

today's silly find: a radial cover grate!!

it's a fun little crossover between a manhole cover and a grate inlet!

funny thing I noticed about the this set of inlets: half of the curb hoods (on the left) are from East Jordan Iron Works and the other half (on the right) are from Deeter Foundry (with the ever so slightly taller openings)

spotted some silly cast iron inlets while walking around the con!

here's some vaned grate inlets in a sag (low-point) of a parking lot, which are angled in both directions to better capture flow from the entire area

another common sight in OK are cast iron combo inlets (curb hood + vane grates)!
