Why haven't you already invented this product? That will sell itself.

Maybe toss in some diapers with the sodium polyacrylate that
swells up and absorbs like 100 times its weight in water. But
then it might bust out the cover on the handhole, like The Hulk
bursting out of his clothes.

I'm having visions of Chucks handholes just filled to the brim
with solid foam. Like Bruno's Spray foam packaging from 'Grim
Fandango'

What do you use for foam in the ducts?

Is it normal for the duct to be full of mud? That
seems ungood. I’m also assuming the fiber in that
duct is carrying traffic and it would be very bad to
break it and then not be able to replace it.

You still need a way to get air in the duct. Either
this:
https://www.gmptools.com/innerduct-pressurization-test-kit/
or this https://www.gmptools.com/line-blowing/ to
attach to the compressor. Neither tool is very
expensive (relative to the stupid price of most things
fiber)

Put the real cable in the one side and block the
other port or use it for water. Hum… water going
backwards through the compressor isn’t a great
idea. And pushing air back the water supply isn’t
great. OK, fill it with water and block the other
port. Add air and wait. Once you have half
decent airflow change to water.

You might get away with sealing it up really
good where the fiber exits and then making a
hole in the side of the duct small enough for
the tip of an air blower. Not sure how much
air you will get this way but easy to try. Use
mastic and then tape to seal it. You might be
able to couple a pressure washer to it too.

I have a clamp thing that clamps over the duct
and cable and seals it all
up. It has an air port coming in from the
side. And I use a 375 CFM 150
psi compressor.
I am guessing you could slip a copper tube
down the duct and tape the crap
out of everything with black vinyl tape. Just
use as much air as you can
get. Be sure to inject as much water as you
can inject first.

How do you seal it up with the existing fiber
in there to be able to
blow it? How much PSI do you use? Will a
portable air compressor be
enough? Other end of the conduit is in a
building, so I can only blow
the mud 1 way :)

Anybody have secrets for locating mud
filled conduit? Trying to locate
a 1" poly with a non-toneable fiber
installed in it. No trace wire
installed. Conduit is full of Mud, and at
the bottom of a handhole that
is also filled with Mud. Conduit goes from
handhole under a parking
lot, so digging to find it isn't an option
either. We were not involved
in the installation of this conduit, but
it is now our problem.
We got a flat steel fish tape pushed in
just far enough to finish the
current locate request, but it's not going
any farther. At some point
in the future I'm probably going to get a
locate request further down
the conduit path. What super-secret
method do you guys that live and
breath underground work have for dealing
with this?
