Coombe Barton Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) As there are now both orange and yellow jackets in evidence, is the Orange Army becoming the St Clement's Army? Edited April 22, 2014 by Coombe Barton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coombe Barton Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) With those red lines are they going to dig up that bit again? Edited April 22, 2014 by Coombe Barton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayfield Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I would have thought by now we would have most of the utilities in some form of common conduit, I guess Gas should be kept separate and water used the soil an an insulator so I may be answering my own question, but surely we could have a better system than what seems haphazard run of differing trenches. The red lines seem to indicate the black pipe laid earlier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium petethemole Posted April 22, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2014 Modern practice is to use common trenches and conduits as far as possible. I managed the archaeological fieldwork for widening a main urban road and everything went down one trench with the sewers at the bottom and some services grouped in one conduit (electrics, telecomms and CATV I think). I didn't pay much attention to what went where on the drawings as I was only concerned with where the trench went and how deep and wide. If I was still at work I could look up the old file.

addoaddo Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I thought modern practice was to lay new tarmac and then let each service dig their own trench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Good to hear this is modern practice. Not sure it is in Nottingham where today David Cameron will visit the ongoing tram construction. I think he will find the timescale somewhat different to the Dawlish restoration... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted April 22, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2014 I thought modern practice was to lay new tarmac and then let each service dig their own trench There was an occasion in Brum a while back when a section of road (about a quarter of mile long) was getting a well needed full resurface including removing all the old tarmac etc. Once they had finished about a 100yds of nice new surface someone started digging a trench to lay services and then followed the road surfacing gang down the road!

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 22, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yes, we are digging it up again The reason for this is almost certainly to have provided the residents with a usable road over the Easter weekend. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
