Underground Utilities


The small white pipes are plumbing pipes and the large white pipes are the underground heating system. This is not very common, but I have a good strategy for doing this. The first is an early method of detected and removing ground water if it ever does get high enough to cause a problem. The second is because conventional ducting is near impossible for the floor system that we have to install. Underground duct is labor intensive, mostly because we have to concrete all the galvanized fittings. The white pipe is PVC coated steel pipe. The joints and terminations are galvanized fittings. We rented a small concrete trailer with two yards of concrete and then moved it from the trailer to the fittings by shovel and wheelbarrow. This was the first scope of work that my brother and I did on the project. Subcontractors did everything before then.
