Meeting the Power, Water and Earth Companies (EON-Mitte, ZMW und Hainmüller Erdbau Ortstermin)

This afternoon is the scheduled meeting for the Power Company and the Water Company. They need to check how the power, gas, telecom and water be installed in our basement.

We also have a scheduled meeting with our Soil Excavation Company (Hainmüller Erdbau), and talk about how the pit should be filled-up.

Since yesterday, hubby and fil continue to work on the perimeter insulation. I'd love to help but, I cannot leave my kids alone with mil since she is still not physically fit.

Update about the meeting: It was not good.

We planned to have the multi-use house entrance system (mehrspartenhauseinführung). It is a system where we just need to have one hole for all the house installations (ex. power, gas, water, telecom and cable) to get thru the basement. Unfortunately, EON-Mitte and ZMW (power, gas and water companies in our area) did not agree on it *sigh*

Aside from that, the water company said that they need to make a hole on the other wall of the basement utility room. The measurement on the original plan, (the wall where the power, gas and cable should be installed) did not fit to their requirements. They said that, it is too near to the open portion (the Light Shaft / Light Well), and therefore, there is a big possibility for the water pipe to be frozen during winter season. That was not planned, it will costs more than we expected therefore, we are not happy about it :(

The result of the conversations:

- the pit should be first filled-up.

- the house should first arrive.

- and then, they can start the work. 

In the meantime, we can use the site power and site water for building the house.

Update (10.10) After this meeting, we directly contacted our Architect regarding the new position proposed by ZMW for our water installation. This is a big issue for us at the moment, since this is not how we planned it, and this action will give us more cost. 

I read on the internet thru Gelsenwasser - "Frost Protection: Due to the danger of frost, the water pipe should have at least a coverage of 90 cm for the house entrance, and a lateral distance of 80 cm to the light shafts or light well provided. The connection area must be kept free of frost." We will check again on the basement utility room regarding this location. I guess this should work.
