How does the plumbing in skyscrapers?
Odd question, however I’ve repeatedly wondered precisely how expenditure from toilets, sinks, etc. Derive while in the 80th floor on the city sewer. Is there a large sewer line that all the floors are connected with, or what? Together With how the water pressure into your upper floors?

yep, sewer lines go all the way to beneden. Water top. Zijn is pumped to a pressure check valves at different levels, the pressure is too high to avoid.
A vent connects all sinks and toilets goes all the way to the roof, like houses.
All drains connect to a huge line that goes to a sewer main under the building. This is why a “j” trap under the sink have.
There is always a layer of water that leaks in sewer gas remains down the sink drains “pop-up plug ‘hole.
Apartments have one or two boilers per floor, commercial buildings, probably by 2 or 3 floors. To create pressure on the lawn sprinklers just have to keep reducing the size of the pipe, the farther you go out. ..
But skyscrapers I’m sure they use a pump system of different stages of the main inward
theres one of the main sewer pipe for every 5 levels or dependent in the design and theres a transfer floor for every 15 floors.ussualy it safe from sewage treatment plants before they release it into the public sewer line
