ChikiPipe Twist

Turn pipes. Beat the flood.

A shift on the city water network: rotate elbows, tees and straight runs until the line holds from the tie-in to the riser. Close clean and the depot pays. Drown the section and you walk away wet.

The network under the streets — day shifts against par, night callouts against the rising water.

What you carry on shift

On the shaft wall

Intake lesson: turn a pipe segment

Intake. A tap rotates a segment a quarter turn before you take the shift.

Network atlas of city water sections

Network. Sections by district, a night callout on the shelf, and the depot, orders, record and log within reach.

Pipe board during a shift

Shift. The board, the belt, and the par clock. Release the water when the line is whole.
