The middle of a busy week! Pipeline construction #10

This week of May so much got done, it was hard to keep up! After the work was done one of the nights, I went out to see what had been done. This was just after the road had been dug up and put back together. Each side of the road was still open, hence the orange fencing. 

 The large tractor was following behind to bury the pipe. Some parts were still exposed.
 The yellow caution tape was laid down above where the pipe is so if anyone digs in that spot and finds the tape, they'll know something is directly underneath! So, in addition to the GPS markers on each weld, the well marked areas saying 'pipeline buried here', they also have a warning buried as well.
I went up the road a bit on the original pipeline road to Claire where the work was now taking place. 


 Looking down towards mom's driveway from Claire Road.
 This is a view of the Pipeline on the other side of Lamplight. With people already using it for their ATV fun!
 This tractor is the last thing that goes past. It smooths over the leftover mounds of soil and makes it all pretty.
Below the tractor is scooping the sandy soil into the ditch. It is a progression of big rigs and responsible people! 

In the photo below, the tractor had not quite reached mom's yet.
