Hello all
I am in a bit of a pickle and don't want to let a friend down.
in mid wales a new bypass is being built round our town, a friend whose land is being cut in two by the bypass, his 25mm (black plastic) (may be 20mm) the bypass contractor as ducted under the new road and inserted a section of 32mm Blue alcathene and thus created two reducer/enlarger joints at either side of the new road.
tonight at 5.oopm I am meeting with my friend and the contractor chiefs as I am to survey the pipe either side of the road and take levels on the new road to estimate the buried depth of this water service. my friend wants me to tackle any other issues regarding this pipe. can I ask anyone to comment on the following
1. What accreditation should the operatives of had to disconnect and reconnect the service pipe
2. is there any potential issues with a section of 32mm pipe in the middle of a 500meter 25mm water pipe.
3. are the two joints he now as a potential net loss to his potential for leaks?
And I suppose any other valuable comments regarding this please.
many thanks
Russell
