    Construction of the interceptor system required 318 million bricks, 2.7 × 10 6 cubic metres (9.5 × 10 7 cu ft) of excavated earth and 670,000 cubic metres (24,000,000 cu ft) of concrete. [5] The innovative use of Portland cement strengthened the tunnels, which were in good order 150 years later.

    The main advantage of this type of pump is that it prevents clogging of the pump itself and of the adjacent piping, as all the solids and stringy materials are macerated by the chopping system. Chopper pumps exist in various configurations, including submersible and dry-installed design and they are typically equipped with an electric motor to ...
