Now the last part of the field has been excavated, we need to lay sand on the bottom of the hole to protect the pipes that will be laid on top.
By the time we have finished, we will have use almost 200 tonnes of sand.
At the moment, this part of the field more closely resembles a beach!
I just hope that it is going to be big enough to take the remaining pipework.
This has to be the largest expanse of sand in Holmfirth. We reckon it is somewhere between 800-900 sqm.
Sand is put on the bottom of the excavated ground to protect the pipework. More sand will be put on top of the pipes before the subsoil is re-instated.
