Great video,Ive been attempting to start and grow a excavation business since 2017 now I'm still a one man band and own/paid for several pieces of equipment, but yet to get a decent paying job I've used 110% of any profit to purchase more equipment thinking more$ rural TX is tough for survival especially growth.Godbless!

Hello sir I'm a Tx native,a few hours north of you, I'm attempting to grow from a one man excavation business roughly 300k in equipment and would love to get just a piece of your type work,I would love to have a uncle like you but unfortunately I'm a one man band! I would love to have a successful business as yours, being in rural TX maybe my downfall, love your videos sir!

Thats not the greatest trench safety. Boxes stacked need at least 2 opposing corners pinned, the ladder is improperly positioned, and id be curious if you had engineering or tab data for the wood on the spreaders and at that depth.

Do you have to cement ductile

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You call him a skilled operator???

You should show them how the pipe laser is always on the target and explain how you are falling but it’s on the red target Also might want to show how to set up everything every day and I don’t know about you but I check mine twice a day to make sure I stay close grade and weather doesn’t move any thing or nothing happens as the day goes

Great video! How did you learn Mr. Thomas? New to Site preparations

how do you bid such a job?

Nice job! You really showed that well.

Was that glue???

Jesus!!! That guy ever work with a trench box before??🤦🤦

Awesome video except one thing man, if you gonna do a video make sure you got them guys a hard hat on

Hi I hear. Hello brother please am excavator operator in Ghana please can you help me to come and work with you am very collified operator

Outstanding video! How do you determine how much bentonite to use? How long will the seal last?

Slow and easy, beats fast and furious every time..I like to carry 4 or 5 crossties to throw down to drive up on and a few heavy oak boards to better support the tracks on trailer's outriggers.. It takes 5 minutes to do.. So far in the past 50 years we haven't had a dozer or a trackhoe slip off the side, like some folks I've seen.😎👌

I always have surveyors set line and grade and rim elevations of top of inlet grate before start of digging. 10 to 15’ offset cut/fill hubs depending on depth of trench. There are a number of ways to do it,just has always worked best for me. Keep up the good work.

Good evening. I'm in the dewatering business in the southeast. I travel the country installing wellpoints. I use a jet drill rig I built for a mini excavator. Made our jobs more efficient. Good video

This is awesome! Getting into trench safety rentals and sales I want to know as much as possible about the industry and tools used.

90s underground?? What state is this?

Is the redwood a joint essentially ?

Nice refresher course. It’s been a few years since I’ve used the skills.

I wonder if this was applied & mixed by excavator then mixing would bee more efficient.

Good day . I want your help to explain how I can make pipe line like this one .. Thanks

Please wear hardhats at its most minimum. And dont pay undocumented wages for a skill job

Deep cut for res site damn

Shouldn’t the rear sprocket have been changed at the same time to even wear?

What’s the torque spec? PDT? Pretty damn tight?

What about the banana pipe can't always have written up and no bubble level in video

👏🏼 if you have your pipe laser back behind at a distance from the concrete box you are starting from....how do you know what height to have that laser at to start from? Wouldn't the last need to be inside the first pipe inside the box? Or a specific measure up height from flow line of pipe? Just seems like it would throw the laser off if starting point for last is back a distance behind starting box. The only way you could do the distance behind starting box would be some fancy math right? You could place laser over starting pipe flow line in box and reverse the slope a few feet between it. Move laser back. The go back to positive slope? - - second question, how does one decide to use hdpe instead of concrete? Would this be a parking lot with only passenger cars? Delivery trucks? - - what geographical region is this?? Here in NE Georgia we have clay and rock mostly. Washed 57 under most pipes. - - thanks for this video. Very educational.

great video Thomas!

Shoemakers

ur videos are awesome

Well 10k for safety is better then spending 10k for a funeral for someone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Great video

❤

Where are you located in Texas

I wish I had a mentor like yourself sir. This first hand account of the job and process is priceless. God bless you 🙏

Liked and subscribed! Hats off to you sir 👌🫡

How much does a project this size cost to clear and grub?

The fiberglass rebar is US made so it had less of a price jump than most materials. I recomend using steel corners and window surrounds in double #4 with other areas #5. Just start with the fiberglass so its youre standard. If its price competitive order the fiber bent pieces. They try to price it the same as steel to tell a supplier that you should get a discount of 2 ft of material for each corner since its that much more rod than being able to bend the rebar around corners. A 20' stick of steel almost goes around an egress window with one piece to tylie thw ends together. Fiber is 4 corners and 4 5 foot straights to tie them together. Twice the amount of material. If they give it to you take the fiber because one person can place a window cage of it and steel takes two people. Get Helix 5-25 micro rebar so you can take out all youre rebar other than the perimeters and penetration in most cases. These are easy to use and once you use these forms you will do youre own concrete. Great tools. Dont pour over 12' wothout an engennered mix to prevent blowout.

Thanks

I must say,its more enjoyable watching someone else do it sometimes,than having to myself..😂😂👍👍

Isn’t flow line the bottom of the inside of pipe and then you add thickness to get the true bottom of pipe ?

I remember picking up Railroad cars out of Belfouche SD. An old head conductor said to me years ago. Be careful when you go to the Gorilla factory. I was confused. The engineer turned and said. The bentonite is all over the rail, very slippery and it sticks to everything like gorilla shit. I waited and before I could ask about the gorilla. LMAO. But it does get nasty after a thaw or rain. I am considering using a bag for my hogs water hole. Suddenly the clay got really thirsty.

Good Job ...good channel

Cat duzer d6r replacing

I consider this fastening to be unreliable: they did not use a thread sealant, and did not remove the paint at the place where the track adjoins the hitch. The guys have done a lot of work, but it's all short-lived.

Good for you, congratulations!
