Abstract: The year may have been 1607, the settlement was at Jamestown, Virginia. The settlers name may have been John Smith. He hollowed out a couple of logs to run water from the spring on the back of his properly to his house and he buried them underground. Well, two days later Johns neighbor was out plowing his field, he ran the plow across Johns primitive pipeline and broke it. We have been breaking buried underground facilities ever since, except now we have got more to break up. Obviously, there are millions of miles of buried pipe, wire, cable, condtiits and gas lines in our country and every day we add thousands of miles more. It is bad enough now, but in ten years you wont be able to push a shovel into the ground anyplace. This is one of the few problems we have that has grown constantly. In fact, many communities require all facilities to be buried.
