Hi all

I’m currently stuck with a fully dug foundation trench that I can’t fill with concrete as am awaiting a live gas pipe to be re-routed out of the trench

Despite being covered over, the trench keeps filling with water from surface run off

When it finally comes to being able to pour concrete, is it just a matter of bailing all the water out, or will I also neee to dig down deeper until I’m past all the damp clay from the standing water?

Thanks all
Geo
