What the Hell is This?

Some kind of tray? With a pipe leading into the wall?

And it's not just one...it's a bunch?

An e-mailer says that these are in the 011 District patrolman's locker room, catching various drips and leaks, then directing them to a drain in a closet.

First of all, congratulations to the Plumber's Union because this is an amazing bit of "engineering" if ever we saw it. Secondly, what the hell? Why isn't stuff like this installed in every police station in the city? We could have saved ourselves a few hundred bucks in dry cleaning if we had had a couple of these installed years ago.

It's amazing what passes for safe work environments around here.
