course question - what is you answer?

[rocketmanbkk]

Friends

Heres a question for all you salty seadog plumbers!

The communication pipe turns into the supply pipe (underground), now then, this pipe is sleeved underground near the property.

Why is this pipe sleeved?

I know the answer (now) but all on my course got it wrong on a resent test (practice).

Any answers?

Look forward to reading them.

Regards to you all.

Does the pipe go under the building? If not, surely it's for mechanical protection and protection against stress caused by ground movement.

 

[rocketmanbkk]

Wheeto, thanks for being brave enough to answer 1st.

I'll tell you what the correct answer is soon enough (what C&G say which is different to what we hav ebeen told and read for the last 8 weeks!!!)

Come on all, get answering as I know your all dying to know the answer!!!!

Only sleeved if going through contaminated ground?

 

[MRDrip]

It's a pipe for BT phone cables not water 🙂

 

[spanners1967]

to stop rodents eating it

 

[Barry98]

for identification

Thanks everyone for taking part!!!

It's, as C&G state because of ground movement.

The tutor told us, as does teh book it was for corrosion but ground movement is what C&G say.

Cheers all.

Ground movement?

?????????

As if.

What happens if this "ground movement" goes along the length of pipe where there's no movement?

Honestly!!

 

[rocketmanbkk]

Don't shoot the messenger!!! We all got it wrong!!! C&G, what can you say.

 

[dontknowitall]

Don't shoot the messenger!!! We all got it wrong!!! C&G, what can you say.

Just at another silly and costly rule.

I remember this question that is genuine and was in my City and Guilds paper way back in 1982!

If you discover a gas leak in a room what is the best course of action:
a) Open all doors and windows and allow ventilation
b) Bale the gas out with a bucket
c) Isolate the gas supply
d) Find the leak with a lit taper

All you GSR's out there that answered B and D, shame on you! LOL

Golly - were they asking silly questions back then as well? I thought this was only post Blair.

e) run away

I've used a variation of b) with an LPG leak, sweep it out with a broom.
