geared   300 #13 Posted March 14, 2014 here's a twitter link https://twitter.com/CameronClarke89/status/444477341423919104 the steam sounds odd for a sink hole  Being it's university and the hospital is quite close it might be part of the steam system??  They use it for some of the industrial cleaning equipment, and I think maybe heating too??

big_g   10 #14 Posted March 14, 2014 Is it part of the district heating system - powered by the incinerator on Bernard Road? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Pauline BHG   10 #15 Posted March 14, 2014 Oh God. Sink holes are my worst ever EVER fear. They are the stuff nightmares are truly made of  Me too!!

Mikes10 Â Â 10 #17 Posted March 14, 2014 I'm sure there was a boiler house under the Arts Tower car park, it was no longer used when they switched to the district heating system. I suspect its a pipe-work ducting channel that has collapsed. If it truly was a sink-hole, all the buildings around it would have to be evacuated.

synthpulse   10 #22 Posted March 14, 2014 Similar sight over the last few days at the Park Hill side of Glencoe Road. Looks like it could be a collapsed sewer? Road has had a diversion but not nice to know we've been driving over it a few times a day and could have gone at any point.
