Pipeline – leaks

Tuesday, 26 April 2011

No pictures taken today, just a quick run out with Neil to install the air release valve on the line and to try and fix the pinhole leaks by the shack.

As it turned out the clamp we brought was too big but I applied a temporary bandage with a piece of sling and then we opened the cover with the water meter which should in theory be nearly standing still but to our disappointment was spinning wildly. This of course indicated a bigger leak somewhere and we decided to leave the valve open and look for wet patches tomorrow.
