With both connectors placed the spoolpiece (flanged section) replacement is descending.
The connector on the left has been set. The connector on the right was pulled to the replacement section by the tightening of the nuts on the replacement flange.
The concrete protective coating has been removed. The pipeline has been cut in two places and the deteriorated section is being hoisted away.
The ends of the pipeline have been cleaned more than the length of the connector.
