From the well, various pipelines will feed assorted stock tanks. Vernon has been busy digging trenches. We showed up to lay some heavy pipe. I don’t do much, fetching, picking up, and timing.
Vernon and Brandon put in a T in an existing strand of pipe and we started to add another piece.
Daniel brings in more pipe.
This is heavy pipe and we “weld” it together. To do that, a tool is heated up to 500* to melt the ends. That’s where I come in. The tool is held on for 28 seconds, pulled off, and then the pipe is pushed together.
The pipe is then held for a minute. It takes strength!
It doesn’t look like much, but it’s supposed to hold together better than other joints.
