Plan B, which ultimately was employed, called for members to enter a sewer a grate that was located on a sloped area above grade from the drainage pipe. This would give rescuers access to a vault that was 150 feet from the end of the pipe.

    Photo 1: To show that flexible end fittings, such as a hinged base, can make a difference in a strut’s working load limit, equal weights were placed at the top of each steel band. (The band on the right has V-shaped end fixtures at the top and is wide open at the bottom. The band on the left has rigid, fixed end fittings.) The steel band that has the rigid end fittings (similar to fixed ends for struts that are used in a trench rescue application) holds up well. The other band buckles under the same weight. Without rigid ends, the steel band is allowed to move and flex under the load.
