VINYL SEAWALL AND ELEVATING YOUR YARD

On this project we removed an old failing seawall then installed a new Everlast Vinyl 5.5 series seawall and elevated the property to get rid of the drastic slope to the canals edge. Then installed a new boardwalk with a paddleboard/kayak Boat Lift

I used to do the same shit and we wore flip flops. our shirt had a chainsaw with a pair of flip flops on it.
This is maritime industry not general industry and osha regulations are different

[@DaleWHickman]

Make sure watch my channel and your comment yeah some of my guys would wear flip-flops. If I let them we try to at least protect our feet.

[@rodd8125]

Hey Dale, love your videos. I own and maintain a small marina in South Louisiana, most of our work is for ourselves so we are not pros by any means. We seem to have trouble getting pilings on layout in deeper water especially with current rolling. Any tips?

[@DaleWHickman]

Hey Rod, thanks for your comment and watching the videos. We have the intercoastal waterway here where it gets narrow, and we deal with the same issues. Sometimes we will tie a rope mid span of the piling why we are trying to stand it up to hold it close to the place it needs to go. On top of that we always have a lot of limestone in that area. We have to go through so it makes it very challenging. Good luck with your projects.

I noticed the weep hole in the wall at 10:05. After the wall is complete, is this weep hole above or below the waterline?

[@DaleWHickman]

Thanks for checking on my page. I typically try to keep the weep holes a a foot and a half to 2 foot above the high tide line, so I’m not letting Water get back behind the wall. The waterline you see on the vinyl is from us, jetting behind the wall and had trap some water on the backside.
Good eye!!

[@matthewmcquillen8666]

What is the clamp you are using to pull the sheets out? Thanks for the videos.

[@ncangler2067]

Hey Dale, love the videos. What kind of vibratory hammer do you use?

[@DaleWHickman]

Thanks for your comment. I believe one of them is called a MPK but can’t swear to it and the other one is just a cat plate compactor.

[@MB12116]

That pontoon but looks sick. Could you do a tour of some of your equipment?

[@benwillams8406]

What is that sock drain down at the 6’ level? Does that tie into your weeps?

[@DaleWHickman]

Thanks for your comment Ben I have the inch and a half pipes joint in to the 6 inch sock drain to help relieve the water pressure from behind the seawall

[@lb7wade518]

No wonder it failed!! In the ground 3 feet if that

FAILURE TO ADMINISTER PPE

[@DaleWHickman]

Thanks for your comment. My Worker’s Comp. rate is one of the lowest in the industry. We take pride and trying to keep all our guys safe with no injuries. We tried to be as safe as we can, but there is just sometimes we push the edge

[@mitchmckenzie2459]

Boots required boss. “Watch for snakes”loses the lawsuit. Boots required with ankle protection and steel toes.

[@DaleWHickman]

Thank you for watching my channel and you were comment. I definitely understand the boots thing but when you fall in the deepwater with boots on and steel toe shoes and makes a very difficult to swim. The athlete developed from wearing wet boots all day long is not fun, we tried to implement them where we can but there’s just times you cannot. Keep on watching thank you.

[@JamesBaker-v4w]

Dale is subject to maritime OSHA regulations that are different from general industry requirements.

[@PaulJHershey1]

HARD HATS...not worn when working on a construction site? Really? Your other videos had guys wearing hard hats... so what changed here? Your crew, yourself, appear competent, very capable... but accidents happen.

[@darinjuliesims354]

Stick to the seawall/dock questions Paul. Don't be that guy!
