Morning Peter,
The earthquake I hope did not do too much damage
to your property or person.Bye the way in which
country do you live?
Getting on to your question on the repairs that
you have done or are going to do.
The method proposed sounds reasonable but can I
suggest that you get a plumber and ask them to
replace with wider radius copper bends,silver
brazed to join onto the existing copper.
The pipe and bends rreally should be laid in line
as apposed to riding on top off as this former way
may at some time cause an air lock to occur.
Fill the space around itr with sand and concrete
the last bit of the hole.
Let me know if this makes sense to you.
Colin
