Anaconda in the Desert

As the trial hole works progressed, more and more instances of previously undocumented services were found laying around. What made it worse was that nobody seemed to know whether some of these service lines were still needed or alive. We had at one corner of the plot a set of three cable wires each of 100mm in diameter. The original single trial pit had then became a long meandering trench zig-zagging in and out of the plot towards another corner. These set cables suddenly made an abrupt 90 degree turn outside then disappeared under the service road. At times they looked like Anacondas slithering through the sands. With the actual work program seemed to have gone haywire, we have to think of something fast to make this 'landmine' hunting exercise ends or pray for miracles that we be granted extension of time. The latter came in the form of a Substation.

Don't worry too much...maybe you should learn how to play minesweeper hehehe. I know a person except from me who knows better? Nah I am better than him! Kidding aside I hope you get the extension you need. Cheer up!!!
