In a rain interrupted day of work, we finished assembling the Aquacell crates for Energy Module Number 5. Next we put down a plastic sheet to cover the top surface and then we pulled up the rubber sheet and folded in the corners and weighted it down with concrete blocks.

Then the afternoon session was spent on sorting out the insulation boards to tape into big fat blocks (at least 300mm thick), we needed about 25 of them to go around three outer sides of the module. We were interrupted frequently by very short heavy showers. We got there in the end and in glorious sunshine, we trundled our trolley load of foam blocks to the hole.

We placed all of them around the tank and piled in some sandy soil to hold them into place and that’s today job done (with thunder rumbling in the distance)!

On Monday, we fill in the rest of the sand around the module and compact it down solid, and then put on the insulated lid and insert the final conduit pipes.. and we will be all done – phew!!
