Cool pictures! In the photos where the ditch is open for 200' or so with no pipe in it, what is the procedure for getting the pipe in the ditch and put together? I've only seen ditches like that when you have to weld the pipe on top and sling the whole thing in at once. It looks like the largest diameter pipe in these pictures is concrete so I'm curious.

Those are some good looking ditches. I don't miss doing underground at all, but new stuff out in the open like that ain't bad.
