Me again with another question
In constructing a new sewer chamber outside of the extension area, the old sewer chamber has to be removed.
Taking down the bricks is easy enough, but I have to replaced the 1/2 sewer with a new piece of VC 6" sewer.
The sewer is obviously live, although never much flow from upstream.
If I'm careful I might be able to remove the old cut piece of sewer, but how do I replace it with a new piece. Can I just lay a piece in its place, I dont think so. It will have to be fixed together with a couple of those rubber couplers. But if i slide them up the sewer and then put the sewer in place, it wont fit because of the concrete under the existing cut sewer (I'm presuming there is concrete in place. If it is sitting on a lean mix, then I might have a chance I guess. The sewereither side of the cut sewer obviously has to be joined to and again if there is concrete underneath, I;m going to have problems cutting it away without breaking the sewer.
Couple of pictures below, as you can see it's not that deep, just a couple of feet
Any thoughts appreciated, thanks
