Trench discipline, shoring, having an underground crew that’s tight and everyone knows their task and goes about getting it done! I’ve done every phase from laborer mudding inverts on big and small RCP pipe, building manholes, laying pipe, cutting up transite pipe back in the day with a chop saw and no mask, water or ear plugs! Back before I knew better! Checking and setting grade for a big crew of excavators when I worked at Kiewit as well as running every piece of equipment on a job site and the job itself eventually. Now I just sit in my easy chair and re live my glory days by watching videos like these! Remember to work safely guys, I can’t tell you how many jobs I’ve left at the end of shift without all the crew, it’s not a feeling you ever want to experience so be safe out there! 🇺🇸💪👊👍
One thing that sped up my pipe laying was to have a bucket the same width as my trench box, and one that fits inside the trench box, we could comfortably install 400' of sewer 10'-12' deep along with a manhole each day, give it a try!
Love seeing videos like this when I live this life everyday. Doing deep house connections currently going 16ft down on Monday can’t wait prolly pave at then end of the day once we pull the digging box and back fill. Be safe out there fellas.
Hey I just found your channel through Diesel and Iron, he recommend it in one of his videos. This is EXACTLY the kind of stuff I like watching , and recording, too! Keep it up, looking forward to more vids like this 👍🏻
Pull the bar towards you when you butt that pipe, sewer goes in easy but waterline that size good luck, get out while you can if you’re in the hole so you can chase your grandkids around
A trick I use is use the crease of ur shovel to grade ur rock it fits perfectly if the laser hits the point of the crease it will be a bulls eye on ur target
After watching big timber on Netflix I thought about wearing a GoPro at work and making videos when I go in the cage 6 metres deep. Maybe I'll get some good content out of it. Doubt the GoPro will make it a full 12 hr shift tho
Boyyyy that looks so much more eficent loading a dump truck with the dirt and haveing it dumped futher away insted of dumping the dirtt on the ground right next to the hole then haveing loaders come pick it up the drive ot off.. Money money money
0:43 Why does that bucket have a metal rectangular plate covering it's teeth? The only theory I can think up is it reduces spillage when digging as bucket teeth leave dirt behind.
Cool video. I'm curious as to why the hell the 336 digging the mainline trench has such a narrow bucket on it. There should be at least a 24" bucket on it for digging.
So he can dig in the trench box... he should have a jrb, a wide bucket for digging your box to hang it if need be, then drag the box and dig thel last 1ft or 2 with ur narrow bucket inside of the trend box... saves alot of gravel over the coarse of the job...
Depends on the material! Hard/rocky material would be difficult with a bladed bucket. That blade will give you a nice grade but that doesn’t matter so much in this application because they will lay gravel underneath the pipe anyhow.

Really don’t get why this guy loads trucks like this .. swing all the way around is a waste of time when you have the room to load this truck faster :/ kinda confused with such a big company and why everyone have white hat!?
I assumed it was the truck driver,. I had a driver park for lunch where I couldn't load him before, because you know can't eat lunch while being loaded.
I don't understand why you don't have a loader backfilling and why is the second hoe setting the pipe off the side of the trench? Crazy. Nobody knows how to backfill with a loader anymore?

Nice operation. Very smooth. It's always easier when you're not dealing with tons of cross utilities, water in the trench or rock! Very nice.
Nothing like a tight crew, conducting trench warfare.. you got every angle covered from the ground up on this one. Excellent video 👍
Thank you!
Didn’t see them bevel any pipe, didn’t see them set up pipe lazer or line up target. No transit level. Or securing pipe joints, or haunching…

Like the last shot with the pipe laser shooting up the pipe 🤘🏻
Shoulda ended it with the laser on the target lol
Awesome camera work and shot selection! Really loved this one!
Thanks, you've been pumping out some good videos too
@@pushysix thanks man. I appreciate it.

very good documentary of sanitation works impressive the views from inside the ditch, good job friend.

I try to see the dot on the side of the tooth.
Nice video. All the angles covered there. I've never used a pipe laser but they look handy bits of kit if you've got long runs to do.
You could always tell the difference between union work and non union work. When you see the shoring box you know its most likely union work.
That would be an unnecessarily dangerous job without a trench box!
Speaking from a union laborer's perspective lol
protection is very important... nice job
You Boyz out there putting that good sdr in the ground!!?? Same here,carry on gentlemen 🤘
Great video. Love the utility stuff
On point. Trench is dugged to regulation ❤
Good video. More videos inside the trench of the pipelayer working would be awesome.

Quick couplers and trench shoring - rarer seen on Northern American sites. Seems like they're proffs!
Not rare in Canada. Especially in Vancouver area or Toronto area.
I normally wouldn't say anything but it's a great video, but where is your ladder lol
Thanks for the comment!
Ok osha
If OSHA stop by they would cite them so fast
hmmmmmm like this one....just hearin them nosies bring back memory lol tks
Boyyyy that looks so much more eficent loading a dump truck with the dirt and haveing it dumped futher away insted of dumping the dirtt on the ground right next to the hole then haveing loaders come pick it up the drive ot off.. Money money money
They are my old crew back when i was digging mainline for hall... tell them if they know Jr haha....
I will ask them next time I'm out!
Top shelf video man
0:43 Why does that bucket have a metal rectangular plate covering it's teeth? The only theory I can think up is it reduces spillage when digging as bucket teeth leave dirt behind.
Creates an even surface for the bed to lay on, as well as reduce the chances of tearing out/cracking another service being less pointy.
Now we aren't that big yet but I love doing that type of work I wouldn't trade it for anything else right now
I got few silly questions. I'snt bedding supposed to be compacted? Is there anyone checking laser alignment? how is slope maintained?
Great video, thanks for sharing. What's the spacer in the trench called? And how can I kind of DIY it ?

Going down 28 foot here after July 4 week, gonna be using slide rail on that one because the ground is so bad…everyday life for me right here
Is the grade rod used to mesaure the depth on the trench and the pipe laser to make sure the pipe is level
You don’t want the pipe to be level if it’s a gravity sewer.
bon job,bravo a toute l 'équipe.
No tailgunner for the pipe layer?
Why not to use tiltrotator? To have more guys leaning in shovels?? I dont get it
What’s the benefits from digging with a flat blade bucket instead of tooth bucket?
Depends on the material! Hard/rocky material would be difficult with a bladed bucket. That blade will give you a nice grade but that doesn’t matter so much in this application because they will lay gravel underneath the pipe anyhow.
Better chance to not damage existing utilities with the plate.
Nice video!!
Why is box on ground....why is digging machine not bedding and covering pipe
what's the big red thing called?
trench box
The last press in of the day will
Take an hour lol
The pipes are underground
In the future them will be pillers correct cat= china A Texas
Why u all using a pipe lazet and transit
It's that water line not sewer line. Because they replaced the water line on my street with the same pipe.
That is most definitely sewer. That pipelayer would not be able to bar in a 12” stick of water pipe.

Back the truck up so you dont have to swing so far

I am thinking they don't want the truck sitting next to the trench, in case a rock or something falls off as it's being loaded.
I assumed it was the truck driver,. I had a driver park for lunch where I couldn't load him before, because you know can't eat lunch while being loaded.

You guys don’t have a clue !
And their operator digging the main line is slow
Lol not everyone is as good as u bud 😜
