This is heat trace...




The following three photos illustrate what I'm working on. The first image is two-fold. Myself and the other GA's dug out this long section of pipeline and you can also see what one of the joints look like on the right hand side (Its the smooth piece of sheet metal around the corrugated pipe). We are cracking these joints open, as illustrated in picture two, to inspect these lines. If the wire is stuck in the line then the section of pipe has to be replaced. The third image shows a bad piece of line. See all that rust and corrosion? Thats bad news for us. We will have to pull that secion of pipe and put a new one in and then run all new electrical line.

  1. Hey, Daniel, I finally checked back here. I'm not getting your pictures for some reason. I saw your New Zealand pictures just great, but these aren't coming through.
