What an awesome project to be a part of! I’m disabled now, a heavy equipment operator and truck driver by trade, but I pushed dirt crews as a superintendent too. What a sense of accomplishment, I never thought I’d be sitting at home watching stuff like this. You don’t realize what being productive and needed means until you’re no longer there! Be safe boys, I’d rather be making money and running crews again!
I made this film single-handed in the year 2000. The complete project is over 50 minutes long. In a film making career that spanned over 30 years world wide, this project was among the most fun.
@peterMeLennan Great work Peter. I hope you don't mind that I shared it? I was working in Calgary in 2013 with an Pipeline Engineering Firm when I was handed a few DVDs and I was asked if I could find a way to share them. They've proved to be very popular on RUclips, the view count has exceeded my expectations. I initially only uploaded the videos to RUclips so that people in the office could watch them.
Really good job I just got done watching and the Alaska pipeline,,,, real good job,,,, makes me wish I was back working with the guys running Rusty on iron
110 backhoes? yeah I dont think so, they were straight up excavators or trackhoes. Not backhoes. Backhoe has rubber tires, a front loader bucket, and is not even close to the same! I bet they had a few backhoes on site back then, but they would have been the old four stick Case models, etc.
One day when I get keen enough, I'll post the rest of it here. Picture quality sure suffers from the upload to RUclips. That and the fact that it was shot nearly 20 years ago.
Yeah this video is shot in Canada, we have nothin to do with your 9/11 bullshit, and what country are you referring to? Canada? No? Well you should just keep your mouth shut then, marry a Canadian girl hopefully get you out of that country.

Where’s the rest of it?!
Larry, is that the Southern Crossing Pipeline? Or TCPL south of Sparwood?
MARINE!!! I had my lowbed on that job. Was that out of Fernie or Creston?
No Canadian Western Star trucks?
I don't know about that bridge crossing now days with these "truck drivers" they'd be fishing a truck out of there every week
what year is this ?

Hate to watch trees being destroyed
Go hug them then
Bet you sure like to turn your heat up in the winter though! Hypocritical asshole right here!
Trees are evil and must be punished.
1 year before the world went to hell...ever since 9/11 the country went ⬇️
