With the new line in place on Gondi Extension crews shifted focus this week to Peavey Crosscut and tying the new mainline into Sidewinder, Narrow Guage, Boardwalk, and Lower Winters Way. Basically what this means is a whole lotta welding and a whole lotta pipe pulling. Tools of choice include two welding trucks, an excavator, and a little tank-like beast we like to call "The Bomb." Once these lines are tied in construction will begin on the new valve box, and then we'll start welding hydrants into place. Then it's off to the races. Overnight temps are starting to get mighty chilly here in the valley, and it won't be long before all of these new lines are fired up. Check out pics below...

Welding, welding, and more welding.

This is the Bomb, and this is how we fix the Bomb when the Bomb has problems.
