The 697th had a dirty job. Building curbs, layin pipe, digging it back up, fix it, re-lay it, etc. But with out them, no running water, no flush commodes, no hot showers...you get the picture. Hats off to these ditch diggin, pipelayin all around
ENGINEERS!

Curbs are nothing more than a junction box. Made of concret, holes punched in the sides where you want the pipes. Good place to hide (if there is no water.

Many curbs were used to pipe the water to all areas of Camp Samae San, Korat, NKp, where ever.

After the curbs are in then the fun begins. Digging ditches, laying the pipe, trying to keep the water out (Monsoon season) unitl you can cover it up.

Leak testing, replacing gaskets, etc. What a fun job!

As stated before, trying to keep the water out! At least they stayed cool.
