Description
The replacement pipe from Car Colston to Scarrington was laid … a working width of between 10m and 15m was fenced off along the entire 2km length and c.0.3m of topsoil removed in a 5-10m strip. Trenching was done with a toothed belt trenching machine … Very little was found in the course of the topsoil stripping … the ground was for the most part immediately covered with snow and then churned up by the contractors vehicles in the course of the thaw, the potential for spotting features in the subsoil was limited throughout.
