Bristol Hospital BRI Underground Tunnels WE SNEAKED IN

- There are lots of service tunnels for Bristol's Hospitals. We explore a tiny portion here. when we unexpectedly got into active tunnels. We were looking for older tunnels but found active tunnels and couldnt help but have a peek where they went.
We have removed locations and entry points because we consider these tunnels to be not on the normal Urbex map so probably dont need to be visited as they are in use.

As a steeplejack I've visited many MOD sites and been places that very few get to tread it's an amazing feeling I can feel it again in your videos thanks. I stood on top of crystal palace radio mast.
There's a weather shelter 450 feet up the mast with the most fantastic collection of vintage pawnagrafa magazines, piles and piles or them, so many I often wondered how they got them there in such numbers with so few people ever having to go there..
Also we put lightning protection on Newport railway station and broke through the platform into a tiled toilet cisterns bogs black and white tiled floors, we eventually abandoned the job as we found out there is an entire railway station below the existing one. We went down a subway and through a locked door to a vaulted brick room where there was a door we weren't allowed through.. the red brick building is now residential and the station has moved 100 meters west.
Somewhere you may want to try and enter..
Completely hooked on watching these! Great content, can't believe you havnt got more subs!
Absolutely interesting to see what it's like underneath the BRI very brave too but glad you made it in and out without being stopped so well done
Well if you wana know something they did the security caught them off film of course,hopefully its taught them a lesson 😁
Tunnels at hospitals, particularly those built post WWII up until the 1990’s when the PFI hospital contracts began, where know as ‘Local Distribution Systems’...they typically served a lot of structures that had a separate boiler house, and water and steam was piped into the hospital via the distribution systems...this meant that the boiler houses, which were regarded as unsafe to be within the hospital building, were located away from the main hospital structure... over the years other services may have been added, such as electricity, telecoms, gas etc... As you rightly state, many of the pipes in these tunnels still appear to be ‘lagged’ and probably contain very dangerous asbestos lagging, a cotton wool like substance, which if damaged would allow asbestos fines into the atmosphere of the tunnels and lay in dust on surfaces...steam pipes are also highly dangerous, and likely contain what is known as ‘superheated steam’, which if a pipe bursts or leaks from being climbed on, etc, could cut you in half or amputate limbs...not very nice...a lot of the pipes seem to have been recovered, where lagging may have been removed, or was rewrapped to enclose it... just remember that some hospital patients lives may depend on the services you are intruding upon...so definitely do not touch...!! I also noticed that in the cages near the steps that went up were pipes medical gases...these are now no longer stored underground, but on surface installations..obviously, because of the risks of gas escapes etc...these link directly to gas supplies to hospital beds and operating theatres...so again...do not touch...!!...whilst I can understand buggering around on old MoD sites, I find your actions here somewhat irresponsible... I hope you had the balls to let the hospital know of the security issue here...!!
OK calm down..no damage done and nobody died!
1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth🙂
If that a teaser of what's to come bring it on awesome work good effort team
Nice exploration Matt. Talk about having a brass neck.. lol 😂 good to see ya chilled & not ranting about the circles. Although I do enjoy those videos too 😁 well done to you & the lads.
HI Sally lady boy Stewart Watkins. Are you storking my friend Matthew 🤣 I know you want to meet him one day soon. You keep asking me when am I meeting him again? I don't know?
Ima new sub, I wanted to share my thoughts, you guys are awesome. SAVAGE to say the least. I’ll definitely be watching more of your videos. All love from 🇺🇸
Me and a few friends went in these tunnels in the late 80s it was very different then the entrance we used was in a secluded wooded area and after watching your video it was very different. We had a shorter ladder down and when we went uphill we had a 90degree turn left and right and when we turned right it went on for a really long way it had a couple of long ladders up that were smaller than the one at 13 odd min here they were just manholes every now and then some deeper than others we followed the tunnel straight downhill until we assumed we were under (about) New Cheltenham and it had a 90 degree left tunnel junction.. we were so worried our BMXs would be stolen we turned back but we think these tunnels may go so far as to connect to other hospitals? Cosham even or Frenchay?
I'm so glad I found this video I've told so many people that didn't believe they existed.
Also if you actually read this when I was about 5 or 6 (late 70s) we used to go DOWN Cabot tower. The entrance goes left but as a kid we climbed over the turnstile and went down a dark spiral staircase for as far as we dare, we didn't have torches. When I returned in the late 80s and climbed over it had been concreted up I was gutted. We went down and down and down lower than the tower is high I remember my brother counted the steps.
Where it goes, nobody knows?
I had to stop, my juvenile record wouldn't allow any more mischief... 😂
Amazing explore folk! I appreciate you hiding the actual entrance in :)
Great job,,, I think the clunking noises you were hearing was the silver insulated pipe it’s a sample bag air blow system (blood samples etc) to send from around the hospital to the Labs
Oh I just I assumed they were turds thudding down a sewer pipe
Your prob right I study sciences and medicine histology histopathology cytology forensic pathology diagnostic medicine biomedical bone sciences ect and neuropathology there do send them in tubes also supermarkets use them to send money to vaults and banks
Exceptional mat, i enjoyed every minute of it, thanks for bringing us on the tour with you.
The white pipes are preinsulated, so the flanges are exposed thus covered with insulation blankets post install. They are too dangerous to remove so left in place when redundant. Can't see any condensate return pipes, but they will be small. Exposed copper pipes are medical gases and suction. Steam is efficient for large complex sites as it requires no pumping and lower pressure drops across pipe networks. Water purifier and calorifier in there too.
Bristol’s full of awesome tunnels ❤️❤️ the BRI was linked to the student lecture place across the rd via tunnels x
That system looks like it could be steam driven from beneath the earth maybe..? This is exactly how New York fifth avenue houses are heated, very interesting guys 👏🏻👏🏻
Cheers guys was a great thrill just watching he he
Gotta love my home town
Same here, mucker. Bristle for life.
Then We Cheeched indeed it is
They saved my life at this amazing hospital Bristol will always have a place in my heart and the people are some of the best ive ever known
Done the same under Winchester hospital. Wasn't the headroom of this and a couple of times I was squeezed between HT cable and a gas main - but enjoyable 😁
Haha nice little explore there lads, just goes to show how shite their security is. I didn't think you could use asbestos piping anymore I thought it had to be replaced ?? unless I'm wrong. Thanks for the adventure. x
Sue Girling asbestos is not used in the Uk anymore, but old Pipe lagging is left in place and It’s fairly safe when not played with.
@@bighandsvideos7081 Those pipes looked fairly new though.
Another case of shockingly poor site security, but then the security are probably either off chatting up nurses or offsite smoking. Keep up the good work Matthew. Maybe time you setup the channel called “SecuritySeekers”?
ive tried so hard to find ways in. I remember walking about this area for ages. Not a clue if its still accessible. this and the infirmary which I always pass and want to get in
I thought asbestos was outlawed? I'm confused? Awesome videos, eagar for more!
this was an awesome watch!!
The Secret Vault doing what he does best 😷👍
That takes me back to cleaning plant rooms once a month with my dust mask on sweeping the tops of machinery with dead clusters flys and cable ties on the floor.
I’ve worked in those tunnels with a team of 10 sparkies running a massive SWA cable from street level at the front of the BRI to the mains intake building which was near where you entered on the same level as the Oncology department and it was bloody hot and cramped climbing on those pipes dragging a massive cable and then securing it
What does SWA stand for mate ?
@@MrJimbaloid "Steel wire armoured cable, commonly abbreviated as SWA, is a hard-wearing power cable designed for the supply of mains electricity. It is one of a number of armoured electrical cables - which include 11kV Cable and 33kV Cable - and is found in underground systems, power networks and cable ducting." Source: Google
Absolutely fantastic guys
great explore matt,,, ,you do it so we don't have to
There is a tunnel connecting two London Hospital as kids when we were in hospital we used to play in them, they went under a busy main road and across to the other hospital another tunnel went on from the second hospital but it was barricaded and could never find where it went
Brilliant!
Pipes carry noises , under my housing estate there's a pipe comes out that runs a stream under the state but if you sit there at night you can hear conversations in the houses over the pipe!. I call the place the wisperingbridege the out let comes out next to a bridge!. Pipes carry a hella lot of noises!
Fantastic Matt
Absolutely mate. Another friend from me Matthew 😷👍
We used to go into the old bbc tunnels below the Avon gorge hotel, no idea if they are still accessible this was 20+ years ago 😕
thank u matt
Good to see you back in the derps...
Great video 👍
22:00 it's called a plant room that will power the boiler system for hospital and other utilities systems
wow
was edge of my seat
What a load of bollocks🤯
my question to you is as a bristol born and bread, can i com out on a exploration
No secrets here just just services at least no damage done,other than trespass.
There is a tunnel under the main road to the old building as well
That's where all stuff that powers and runs the hospital boiler pipes utility supply ect
Nice vid matt I would love to come on a underground explore with you in corsham I have done a fair bit of research into RAF Rudloe Manor and that area fascinates me...please can I tag alone one time please......cheers Simon
11000v has a 2'3" approach boundary. So ya it will reach out and grab you.
On some off the pipes some off the asbestos looks like it's deterating in parts
There was an urban myth going around Fishponds when I were a boy, that there's a massive underground section stretching from Abbeywood MOD facility in Bristol all the way to underneath Purdown Percy in Lockleaze, do you know if there's any truth to that myth?
Purdown percy is a really old site. Abbeywood is really new.I cant see why they would want to join old with new. Ive not heard any such stories.
A not so interesting walk through the undergrowth of a hospital there mate but I will give you a like.
the noises are the sounds of stuff moving in the pipes surrounding you.
Hi. How can I message you direct? I have a question about something in my local area.. Cheers, Nick..
truthsee@gotadsl.co.uk
Its that light panel again....
Mental matt your a legend fuck Yhea
hello cruel world
Wow, looks like a video game. Half-Life 3?
There will be air-conditioning ect all sorts down there. At 23:25
Like the inside of a chemical plant.
Most of those ducts are closed due to asbestos 🙈
The yellow cable is the ethernet cable that powers hospital computer systems
I was really intrigued by all these "underground" videos popping up, but fellas...walking around a well lit facility with all those cameras and lights will eventually draw unwanted attention. Maybe in the UK can get away with this..
Have you had permission to go there tho
If you get caught you can use the same excuse you used at the girls school , I am not after the nurses , i am gay , Lol PS I hope you're not offended , I love you're videos
27:22 there look like compressor systems
I have a degree in electrical engineering and programming physics
A is asbestos warning labels lots off old hospital's contain asbestos it's safe as long as it's not destabed
I study sciences and medicine histology histopathology cytology forensic pathology diagnostic medicine biomedical bone sciences ect and neuropathology
Nice bum! No not yours !!
