All of the ground loops for the ground source heat pump have been covered. The ground loops were pressurised to 1 bar when they were installed. And there are still pressurised to 1 bar after the soil has been put back. At least we know that none of the pipes have damaged while the soil has been reinstated.
We are going to re-lay the topsoil on those areas of the field away from the builder’s cabin and the house. We can then re-seed this part of the field and it will have the opportunity to the grass to grow before the winter sets in. I am guessing that we will reseed at least 1/3 of the field (around 450 sqm) in the next few days (weather permitting).
The view from the soil pile – we are relaying the top soil on the far part of the field.
We are going to be putting the topsoil back down on the area of the field away from the builder’s cabin and the house. We will relay the rest of the topsoil, once the building work is finished.
The subsoil has been tracked in and levelled. There are 1000m of pipe under this particular patch of the field.
