operation of the energy geostructures (cf. Fig. 2.9A). These elements, together with
the runout proportion of the pipes that characterise the energy geostructure(s), often
lie within the blinding beneath the base slab and constitute the primary circuit
together with all of the aforementioned elements (cf. Fig. 2.9B).
