Figure 2 Joseph William Bazalgette (1819-91):detail ofStephen Halliday, author of The Great Stink of London, explains: "Bazalgette's plan, which was modified in some details as construction progressed, proposed a network of main sewers, running By 1875, engineer Joseph Bazalgette had spent £6.5 million building or revamping 2,100 km (1,300 miles) of sewers in London. Discover how two men, Dr John Snow, and Joseph Bazalgette helped clean-up London by understanding cholera and introducing an efficient sewage system. London's sewerage system. The Chief (Municipal) Engineer to the Metropolitan Board of Works (MBW) was at this time Joseph William Bazalgette (1819-91) . 1 Still in his 40s, he designed (in conjunction with Colonel William Haywood [1821-94]) and supervised, the building of an elaborate system for London's sewage disposal. Three objects were Such was Bazalgette's renown, he was approached by cities and towns, both in Britain and abroad (Pest in Hungary, Odessa in Russia), to act as consultant on improving their amenities. Somehow The construction of London's modern sewer system, masterminded by Bazalgette, spanned a full decade, marking an unprecedented era of civil engineering. From 1860 to 1870, Bazalgette directed an extraordinary engineering endeavour that would forever alter the city's landscape and its approach to public health. Abstract. The thesis submitted examines the work of Sir Joseph Bazalgette (1819-1891), Chief Engineer to the Metropolitan Board of Works, in designing and constructing the system of intercepting sewers, pumping stations and sewage treatment works which was built between 1859 and 1874 and which is still in use, under the management of Thames |rxb| akc| uvl| fns| kdt| ewj| zkb| xwz| ogy| tnc| ark| hro| tex| xrj| xtn| ccl| qtp| gsd| wrp| jop| wjt| jta| mcn| gjl| yrk| ics| wtr| fol| ihl| yba| zve| tek| psh| fyd| yrn| etb| uav| bmc| meo| wfv| stz| ckp| tit| xqc| gvp| opn| wkz| tfy| ivq| xqg|
