A fascinating deep dive into the unglamorous guts of civil engineering that most people ignore. It turns mundane drainage work into a masterclass on infrastructure resilience.

MRMS INSPECT The CULVERTS! With CAMERAS! STAIRS SMASHED! TOPSOIL Going On! Llangollen BREACH!
Added:Mhm.
Looks like they're removing the old stairs.
Hello everybody and welcome back to the Congleton Canal Bridge at Whitchurch.
We've returned again for a second video today.
Um currently still editing the first one, which is weird, but anyway, this is the start of the second one.
Um so yeah, we're going to see the continuation of yeah, things happening down here. As you can see, they're removing the stairs at the moment, so let's watch them do this. This could be quite interesting.
Wow, look at that. Literally just removing all the steps.
It's a step in the right direction, though, I suppose.
He's going deep down now to get that far bit.
All the way at the bottom.
Snap, crackle, and pop.
>> [snorts] >> All right, so looks like that's the steps removed.
That's that step done.
>> [clears throat] >> That was very interesting. Wasn't expecting that either today, but they getting every little preparation job done ready for the repairs to start.
Just like that, those uh steps are gone.
They're probably never used.
I'm joking.
>> [snorts] >> But uh yeah, I think that culvert was probably blocked for years.
And that was the steps to for the CRT to go and inspect it.
So dumper going back to the compound.
The MRMS guys are back.
It looks like they're sticking a camera down in there.
That's very interesting.
So they're inspecting it before they do anything with it.
Obviously this one isn't blocked, but maybe they want to make sure it's a not going to block.
While they're doing all this maintenance on the embankment, they might as well make sure it's nice and clear.
Last time I tried to get a shot of a their computer screen, they sort of blocked it.
So, I don't know if I get too close.
All right, guys. So, currently the other guys are actually on break at the moment.
But, MRMS are still down here putting a camera through the culvert.
Taking it all the way through, I guess.
To be honest with you, I kind of hope it's blocked a little bit, at least.
Because then we will get to see that jetter machine again, won't we?
And that is fun.
Probably the most entertaining bit it was, I think.
The one in the green is the Kia Seltos manager.
Looks like we can see light.
I think it's probably to the other end now.
I wish this had a 28 times optical camera.
But we can definitely see.
I wish I had that last that last of those videos.
It's definitely clear.
You can see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.
They're pulling it back now.
Look at that.
Wow.
Looking pretty good that one is.
I don't even think they need to blast this one out.
>> Yeah, I think he ended the video because he's out now.
See the camera there?
>> That's it.
Culvert inspected.
All right, so obviously the machine ain't here. It's not booked in.
So, we might see them return later on in the week if it needs doing, but I don't think it does.
But, what do I know?
Yeah, that was very interesting.
MRMS are back and inspecting the other culvert. Wow.
Who would have thought we'd see them again?
What a uh exciting little update today.
Heard a bunch of noise.
We got to see what's going on.
And it looks like the topsoil is now going on, guys.
It's topsoil time, baby.
Yeah, the guys are already uh they're off break now.
But, I've already got 16 minutes of footage, so from pre-break, so pretty good day today so far.
Let's see what they do with this topsoil then.
It's only one dump at the moment.
Beep beep.
Oh, yeah. I do apologize for getting the date wrong.
Some reason I thought it was Monday the 19th of July.
Turns out it's the 20th of July, guys.
Who would have thought?
I don't know how I keep doing that.
Probably cuz whenever I usually do it the night before, and I look at the date on the laptop, and I'm like, "Oh, yeah.
Well, it's the 19th."
It's not. Not tomorrow.
Oh, okay.
The MRMS guys are inspecting this culvert now.
Is it really a culvert? I don't know where this one goes.
So, yeah. Top soils going back on, guys, at last.
Comes another dumper down there.
How about Hopefully we get all three dumpers down there.
Looks like they're cleaning off the camera.
This goes vertically, doesn't it?
This man drain.
I don't know how deep it goes.
All right, he's got the screen on the floor out. He doesn't want us to see.
Now he's in the shadow.
Crafty.
Very crafty.
Stop the exposure again.
Oh, I think Layton's getting curious.
Layton's going to have a look for himself.
See if he can find himself a can of pop.
Oh, no, he's got water.
We can see something on that screen, can't we?
This one is very interesting cuz we actually don't even know where the hell it goes.
>> So, yeah. The top size going back on now, guys, as you can see.
And uh oh, it looks like they're trying to find out where it goes.
They're walking down to the culvert.
Hmm.
They will probably tell how far it's gone, actually, by the length of like wire they've used, and the screen probably tells them. Probably very clever device.
Um But yeah, they're probably trying to find out exactly where it comes out now.
Which is a difficult thing, really, isn't it? Exactly, because there's no plans of where these land drains go. Someone just fit them in randomly at some point.
And it's probably been here for hundreds of years. So, it's just a case of finding it.
It's quite a interesting actually, it's like an investigation.
But yeah, top soil's going back on now, guys. And MRMS are down here uh inspecting this culvert now.
And uh hopefully we find out where that goes. But I'm going to end this video here. It's about half 11.
I'm going to make a third video, don't worry.
Um of the work's going on later today.
So, the third video will take place just after this one.
And uh yeah, I hope you all enjoyed it. Please consider the liking. Subscribe is 100% free.
And don't forget to like the video as well. Really does help out the channel, get the video out there and to new audience and new people who haven't seen the channel before. So, I really do appreciate it, guys. Thank you very much for watching and I'll see you all in the next one. Bye-bye.
>> Mhm.
