| Description |
The aqueduct was more than 22 km long. The underground part was made up of two sections. The first one ran from Gorze to the basin of Ars and was 12.7 km long. The second one ran from the basin of Jouy to the castellum divisorium which was probably situated in the area of today's Hôpital Bon Secours. Its length was estimated at 8.5 km. The road from Novéant to Gorze gives a certain idea of what this pipe used to look like. It is about 1.6 m high and 1.2 m wide. It was built according to a technique called 'petit appareil'. So as to keep it watertight, the inner side was coated with lime mortar and crushed bricks. The coating was 6 cm thick on the sides and 8 cm thick on the bottom. It was high enough for a man to get inside and clean or repair it. Square-shaped openings with 1.2 m long sides were scattered all along the way to get to the inside of the pipe. |
