Lewisham Sewage Aqueduct, Heritage sewerage aqueduct in Summer Hill, Australia.
The Lewisham Sewage Aqueduct extends 85 meters across Long Cove Creek with six spans supported by concrete piers reaching heights of 7.3 meters.
Engineers from the Sewerage Construction Branch and Department of Public Works designed this infrastructure in 1897, completing the construction by mid-1900.
The structure represents a milestone in Sydney's urban development, demonstrating the advancement of public health infrastructure in early twentieth-century Australia.
Metal lattice supports and rocker mechanisms maintain the stability of the steel carrier pipe, which continues to transport sewage from multiple Sydney suburbs.
The aqueduct features an oviform steel plate pipe measuring 1.4 by 1.1 meters, connected through riveted sections and decorated with detailed metalwork.
