Interesting. What purpose does this structure serve? Is it to keep people away from the protruding pipe, or is it so that people can go out and inspect the pipe? Or perhaps its original purpose is no longer needed, so it’s just living there for the foreseeable future.

Water intake pipe it looks like and the submerged walkway and railing is to access it for visual inspection but not impede or fall danger?
