soubriquet 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hmm, lets see. Sewage pipes, buried; water pipes, buried; gas pipes, buried. I've yet to hear an argument that they should all be suspended above ground on poles because of risk of earthquake damage. The power lines in the centre of Sendai are buried, and that's a high risk area for earthquakes. Looks nice and tidy though. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Can you imagine above ground see through sewage pipes. Link to post Share on other sites
r45 4 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 How come Sendai has power lines buried? Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 To protect them from earthquake damage... Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 where have you seen buried gas in japan its canisters at the side of your house for the most part. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Yamagata city has piped gas, so I am told. I was surprised at this, but apparently it is so. One of life's great Truths is that when soubriquette and I have a disagreement, she is always right, and I'm always wrong. I've learned not to argue Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 yeah new areas do have piped gas FT. Quite a few areas of Hiroshima have it. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 How come if places like Sendai and Hiroshima do things like this it is not more of a talking point or issue? (or is it?) I do with some of those lines weren't often it just totally spoils the looks of a place. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 it's only the newer places that get it and not even always then V. And I think it just isn't on most Japanese peoples radar, that's all. Link to post Share on other sites
akibun 0 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I don't notice it but I am used to it. I did notice that there were no lines in overseas place I went. It looked good without the line. Link to post Share on other sites
Experiment IV 0 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Sendai looked good when I was there. What was different didn't click until someone pointed it out to me, then it was obvious. Link to post Share on other sites
