Underground?
Sooo... the wife wants to start a business, and me and my father both are obsessed with maple syrup.
We are looking at a piece of land, which I walked today, I figure there are between 5-7000 taps available on 100 acres.
The numbers are fair for taps, but I have a major concern, there the power corporation has their main distribution line running through the land. I dont know where they would stand with mainline being run across their right of way, if it would be allowed in any way.
My question is, has anyone ever ran mainline under ground? I am thinking of a sort of weather-head to keep elements out, but to allow expansion and contraction. Then running it through a large diameter PVC or ABS across the 100-150' distance.
Input?
2019 season - 11 taps, 2.5 gallons
2020 season - - 2x4 homemade oil tank arch, homemade raised flue, and syrup pans.
130 taps, 15 gallons of syrup
2021 CDL 2x6 pan set with real raised flues. Hoping to hit 400-500 taps on tubing
