Wow, this wastewater treatment plant in NYC is on a whole another level. I'm from Malaysia and I'm fascinated with all the various architectural designs of the buildings around the facility as well as the engineering marvel of the whole treatment plant from the mechanical moving parts of the screener at the initial stage, the long & gigantic air duct that runs across the facility to the lofty oval shaped digesters which can be lit up with different colours at night. Over here in my country, German as well as Japanese engineering companies are very well respected by a lot of people and to be able to see American engineering in action is really an eye opening for me.

You are a fantastic tout guide. While I can appreciate well done architecture I would hardly consider the design of this a marvel but would be more interested in hearing about the specific components to the system and the jobs of people that work them and the type of measurements they record. The wonders of the inner workings of this structure surely far exceed that of its exterior. Thanks for the tour.

Any tour for public??

[@oscarkubik9684]

Was wondering, what type of degree/ certificates. Would one need to work at Newtown Creek? I have lived by for most of my life, and have always found it so fascinating.

[@stevemiller5626]

Depends on the job title. But generally trades experience is a good start

None..a relative or friend who knows someone for the blue collar jobs.
