And that's how they do it. It's a 42 inch diameter pipe buried 4 feet below the surface. The ditch was over 8 feet deep. We wondered and wondered how they would get the pipe in the ground and all welded together. There will be guys down in the ditches welding those big pieces together. But that will come later.
Next they will start working on the re-route. The have to start over, clear land, survey, separate top soil, ditch, set out pipe, weld it together, set it in the ground, finish welding the connecting pieces and, finally, cover it back up.
They also have to return the old route back to the way it was before. Of course, there's no getting back those old pecan trees they bulldozed. At least they paid us for them.
