Since morning, my colleagues and I had been preparing to complete the pipe welding work at a location near the river that supplies water to residential and agricultural areas. The weather was quite sunny, though the morning air was still chilly, but our enthusiasm remained unwavering as we worked to complete the day's goal. ![1000070759.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRdrjDsMag2tPBSVGdWUpHCYHkims5PMBs5TLfmrJ66Uj/1000070759.jpg) ![1000070733.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZJW7s7PAG92WmVPPqkXNpCYQAiPmtW7dKMH7nzPR7erb/1000070733.jpg) **pipe welding process** Upon arrival at the site, we immediately prepared our work equipment, including the welding machine and safety gear such as gloves and eye protection, as well as pipe connection equipment. The work site is quite close to a river, so we had to be careful as some areas were quite slippery and prone to slipping. Other challenges included the uneven terrain and the partially buried pipe, which made it difficult to access the welding area. We began by inspecting the joints to be welded, particularly at several leak-prone areas previously detected, which were now tested for water flow. These locations were prioritized to prevent water waste and disruption to the residents' rice fields. The welding process was carried out meticulously and in stages, ensuring each joint was secure and free of gaps. We often had to dig deeper to reach the bottom of the pipe for welding. ![1000070726.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQXTrUugkCEPEUGj4e1gNv7Bxezprj91DWSgb1ZsUhkdJ/1000070726.jpg) ![1000070748.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVshusgbP1eX6vUA4VujWUA23abtcgkjgLYAXNXxYApTf/1000070748.jpg) ![1000070747.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfZSDEWKukCYFCgR4PH9Rx5iAwg9dcaLThc8sQXRXsTjJ/1000070747.jpg) **welding located near the river** Time seemed to pass quickly, and before we knew it, it was already late afternoon. We took a short break to eat and drink, then resumed work until all the joints were welded. Although it was tiring after a day of being in the hot sun and the challenging terrain, a sense of satisfaction and pride arose when we saw the neat and strong results of our work. Today was truly hard work, but it also brought a special kind of joy. I'm grateful to have been able to contribute to work that directly benefits the village community, particularly in supporting the irrigation system and water availability during the dry season. I hope the results of our work today will be long-lasting and provide significant benefits to the local residents. *"Regard @fajrulakmal99**
