Unfortunately the stormwater, mains
water and sewerage pipes were under the ground right where the
pool is to go !!
So these had to be relocated ...
... and the work was carried out by ...
Two points on the sewerage pipes
had to be found where they would be cut and then redirected
and here is the first cut in the
yard !!
The first point was found and now
to find the second one
The blue line on the grass is where
the pipes will be now located
The pipes have been found and cut
...
... so it's time to start digging
the trenches
.
.
.
Eddie is ready to make one of the
new connections
The pipes are now being laid ...
.
.
... and here is
one of the joins
A load of sand arrives ...
... which is to be packed around
the pipes
.
The mains water pipe has been reconnected
and this will now be in the same trench
The stormwater pipe is also ready
for reconnection
Work has finished for the day
The sand has been packed around
the straight lengths of pipes but all corners and new connections
must be left exposed
so the Inspector from the Cairns City Council can check out and
sign off on the work
