[QUOTE="Tony S, post: 426664, member: 20864"] A peripheral earth as the septics call it. I’ve used 1x⅛” copper tape laid along side the drains. As SW said if you need to join it use “tinmans” hard solder. The icing on the cake was finding a disused gas main. I welded a stud to the pipe and ran some tape to it. On the joints I used hessian tape and then poured cable compound over it. At work we used a buried copper mat at some of the remote subs. Most subs used the plant steelwork. Newer subs also used the foundation rebar as an Ufer earth. Note, How to annoy the wife, ruin one of her pans melting Trinidite compound. [/QUOTE]
