New HV job

I'll be working on a new high voltage job beginning in June. I went to scope the job out, and took a few pictures while I was there. This is another typical HV trench, although these conduits are being covered in concrete (it's a parking lot!) instead of stone, like the one at the zoo.

This concrete box is a manhole. These are precast, and set in place with a crane. In the olden days, carpenters used to build forms for concrete to be poured into. This is much quicker and more efficient, as well as modular.


These rings will be set over the top opening, giving us access once the manhole is covered with earth.



We've got two new manholes on the project, and we'll be tying into an existing manhole during phase 2.
