Interesting tools. Don't think I could find one for the diameter of pipe though

So went to pressure test this job but the pipe was not installed to regs. They had run yellow mdpe into the building which if I remember correctly is a no.

I do know the gas board do this though when replacing the mains to the meter inside the house with mdpe by pushing it up the old pipe.

Not the most revealing to be honest. Not much to see.

The pipe goes under the building just to the left
