Morning all. I have an engineer visiting tomorrow to fix a loose cable, the worst part being a trip hazard on part of my property that's right next to the pavement.
The cable emerges from the ground exactly on the boundary between my property (to the left) and the pavement (to the right). Ideally, I would like the engineer to lift the stone slabs and bury the cable underneath but I suspect this might not be possible. The second best solution would probably be to push the cable into the convenient groove you can see just below it and cement over the top.
Do any of you knowledgeable people have any input on this please? For example, do engineers routinely carry cement (or something similar) with them and would this be a viable option? Failing that, what other types of covering might be available because I'm looking for a permanent solution and something that will protect the cable from vandals, who are unfortunately quite common round here. My guess is that the cable was somehow fixed into the groove during the original installation and yet, over the years, it has worked its way loose.
Any suggestions gratefully received! Thanks.
(PS I already have a long thread from last week about gardening work across the exposed cable but thought it would be better to make a new one because this is a much more specific issue - hope that's ok, mods.)
