Default Chapter next...

So we've got holes in the ground with pipe sticking out of them at ground level. You can't have the pipes running on top of the soccer field, the poor soccer players have it bad enough running back and forth, they don't need a trip hazard as well. Besides, the pipe needs to be down 4' or so to insulate the cold water from the hot sun. So out comes the backhoe, and surprise, surprise, the utilities we marked (phone, data, and electric) were right where the locater said they should be. We went by the cad drawings when trying to figure out where the water line was though...silly us












The drawings said the water line should be under the street. Good thing the drawings were right on. Oh, wait...


It's just a flesh wound!


Now the trenches are dug, the horizontal piping is connected to the borehole loops...


And all the piping leads to the next post!
