Out at the complex someone decided to drive some metal fence posts without doing the "call before you dig". Mananged to hit a 1 1/4 pvc pipe with 208V dead center. He did not notice until another employee asked him why he got a shock when he touched the fence. He dug out around it and saw the damage and called me. He did not trip the breaker. I find it quite curious as to why he did not call me right away.
My question is whats the best way to fix this? The wire will be pulled out as it is badly nicked and repulled with new wire. As for the pipe I have made a "slip" coupling in the past where you file down the stop in the center. Might also end up digging out to the 90 and pulling it back a little to glue the joint if needed.
Is there a better way or do they make products for this such as the plumbers repair slip joint? Or even an expansion type joint?
Punch line: the guy who did this is the complex safety man.
