Good news, the spicy root was found and it's isn't power. Did you know they use color-coded lines underground? They can be different in some regions, but mostly follow this code: Red – Electric power lines, conduit and cables. Orange – Telecommunication, alarm or signal lines. Yellow – Gas, oil, steam, petroleum, or other flammable material. Green – Sewage and drain lines. Blue – Drinking water. Purple – Reclaimed water, irrigation, and slurry lines. Pink – Temporary survey markings, unknown/unidentified facilities. White – Proposed excavation limits or route Which of these would you LEAST want to hit? I'm torn between Green and Orange. I would be more concerned about Yellow, but if I hit that I might not be around to worry for long. Onto the next stage tomorrow! See less

Did you know... Underground warning tape is crucial for safety on construction sites, signaling buried utility lines and averting accidental dig-ins. Color-coded to industry standards, it identifies various line types, from electric power to potable water. Detectable options boost efficiency and safety. - white for proposed excavation - red for cables, electric power lines, conduit - pink for temporary survey markings - orange for communication, signal lines conduit, alarm - yellow for steam, petroleum, gas, oil, gaseous substances - purple for reclaimed water, slurry lines, irrigation - blue for potable water - green for drain lines and sewers #SiteSolutions #ConstructionSite #SafetyFirst

Attention!!! If you are looking to use a packaged treatment plant or septic tank within your drainage design in England you need to look out for two new updates to the General Binding Rules, which came into effect in 2nd October 2023! These updates apply to tanks that discharge into water sources, and are designed to protect the water quality of our lakes, rivers, and streams etc. Essentially, the combined volume of the discharge from tanks and any other discharges into the same water body must not exceed the government's limits. Plus, discharge points must be more than 50m from any other activity that discharges water into the ground or surface water. If you are planning to install a new septic tank or sewage treatment plant for a project we are here to help!

Subsoil drainage system: It is designed to remove excess water from the soil beneath the surface. It typically involves installing pipes or drains underground to prevent waterlogging and improve soil conditions for construction. Smoke test: It is conducted to check the leakage of a water line. Smoke is introduced into the line, and any leaks or defects are identified by the presence of smoke above the ground. Water flow test: It is assess the capacity of a pipeline by measuring the rate at which water flows through it, helping ensure proper functionality and performance. #Construction #Subsoildrainage

REHABILITATION - LIFTING STATION: Situation before intervention: - Corroded concrete structure - Details/sizes: Depth = 5,340m; Dia =2,698m; 2 DN300 couplings at 2,588m - CHALLENGE: limited accessibility as the tank is located in an indoor shed - Realisation time: 5 days considering unforeseen events - 3 days effectively Situation after the intervention: - After the intervention with our CORPROTECT® coating, the pumping station is as good as new! - The complete lining of the whole structure inside including the slab avoids contact with aggressive HS gases and protects the concrete of the structure from biocorrosion! - The very quick rehabilitation of the structure saved ??????? thousands of euros to the Sewage Water Treatment Plant Management #PREDL #CORPROTECT #sewage #sewer #water #liftingstation #cleaning #maintenance #NODIG #rehabilitation
