I am trying to find a feasible way of supplying consistant potable water in a remote location. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Here are the facts:
1000 US gallon StorageTank
with faucet, pressure by gravity.
Potable water is hauled in.
Water usage is about 1500 US gallon per season...
Thanks for the input.
Well we did a second pull of about 100m (with smae materials and equipment) and the drillers said the pull came thru no problem, but the pipe again was oblong!!
The shape of the HDPE pipe on the spool is 3.25" x3.5" so the pipe is not completely round but pretty close...
We directional drilled a 3" HDPE dr17 sewer forcemain, 200 metres in sandy conditions. Driller bored the pilot hole and reamed back with a 10" reamer and used mud in the retrieval.
But when the forcemain came back it was oblong shaped. it doesnt look like the pipe failed but definately stressed...
I agree with your co-worker. When you start re-leveling your asking for problems if there is not a problem.
If your working and the bubble is in the limits, everything is good. Why would you want to re-level if it is in the limits,
If it becomes an issue that you have to re-level, then you...
if your going to drill within 10m of the previous borehole, I would also benonite seal the previous borehole at the top to prevent surface water from contaiminating the ground water underneth. This of course is depending what you are checking for.
a bag of bentonite is cheap compared to...
We are going to be field fitting alot of sewer pipes in manholes coming up in a recent job.
The preference is to come in at the bottom of the manhole with a pre-benched base, but we may have a scenerio where we will have to drill into the side of a manhole and come in above the bottom. Is a...
I agree with others on the board to get the manufacturer to cerify them, if possible.
It looks as if the water has not damaged them as they were stacked ok. sometimes there is lath in between for air circulation.
I wouldnt worry too much about the checking in the rafter tails. What we used to do...
not sure what you mean by this "industry standard grading method/procedure"
But if you are looking for ways to do it:
you can dig deeper to get below the frozen soil and then add non-frozen fill and compact.
Also if the project is small you can hoard the area in.
Thanks TDAA
In talks with some collegues, I found out the same thing. The HDPE pipe comes in rolls so it is very hard to lay it flat even when directional drilling. So it is, like you say, only should be used in high slope areas.
Its amazing, when directional drilling is cheaper than...
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with directional drilling sewer pipe.
I'm very interested in doing a small project (150metres) this way. I heard you can use a conintuous length of PE pipe and fuse the connections as you go to keep adding length.
I would like to hear any opinions if...
Thanks Bill:
Thats what I needed. I just needed estimate of wire so I can get an estimate on total cost to see if it was in the budget to do this year. Things work kinda different here.
thanks for all the replies
your advise is noted. I should note that the line will only be energized for the walk thru and small repairs of the homes and then would be disconnected till spring break up.
It seems our codes here allow for the live line to be exposed as long as it is tech cable. I am looking at renting a...
I need a spec for a tech (armored) cable.
It will run from the transformer and power 2 manufactured homes that need 220V- 100 amp service each.
We need tech cable because it is going to running along ground till spring.
any help would be appreciated.
I thought somebody who works with plastic pipe would know the Outside Dimension as opposed to the Inside Dimension. All the specs I could find were either one or the other but not both.
The pipe is embedded into the concrete floor and converts to a 3/4" copper fitting so I cannot read any specs...
