We finished digging out the third  hole. We then inserted two parallel wooden side rails into the ground, set exactly at the required depth (minus 1.7 meters below ground level) and use them to scrape away the final excess sandy soil by moving a plank of timber between the rails.

Then we compacted the whole area using the petrol motor driven vibrating  plate, put in more sand and compacted again. Then we did a final scrape to get a nice flat and level surface to begin the building up of the energy module itself including its insulation layers.
