Widewater Lagoon - 8.1.03 - The Pipe
Engineers have begun the first stage of the seawater pipe installation.
In temperatures of around 0'C the sections of black plastic pipe are being joined by a heat welding machine. The process takes about one and a half hours for each section.
Two joins have been made, there will be about twenty more joins to complete the pipe which is designed to allow topping up of the lagoon should it
suffer lack of water in summer as a result of the sea defence works currently in progress.
The site of the installation is being plotted on the ground towards the west end of the Lagoon.
Work is expected to be complete in March 2003
