Hi

It occurs to me that I might need to get someone official to look down
a hole I have dug.


Normally they like to be able to see the trench before you backfill .. there
are 2 ways of doing this ... phone and ask for a trench inspection ..
usually be there next day.
Or backfill ... placing in a piece of vertical 100mm pipe at around 1/3 and
2/3 along trench .. that way when they come to inspect they can see conduit
or pipe and measure it's at correct depth.

Then once inspected you pull out that bit of pipe and fill in the hole.
