- Some clips from a main break in the cold of February and the busiest road in town. This was the second break that day. Stay tuned for the road repairs we do now that the weather is better!
Seems like team of guys who work well together and have fun while getting the job done..
I respect for you. No sweating.
Very odd to see them shut the watermain right down instead of lowering pressure. You want to keep somewhat positive pressure to keep debris and contaminants from getting into the watermain
At least Arby’s was 40 feet away 😂
Excellent work, I have been working in sewer maintenance for about ten years well done team
I am about to do this I got hired on at city of Longview 😀 just got my cdl yesterday haha
I love watch these kind of videos
You guys really earn your money. Good job.
Ur inspiration dude ! U inspire me to keep making my RUclips concrete videos ! 🙏🏼
You keep putting stuff out there and you'll keep growing! That's what the big guys tell me to do and I'll tell you! We're going to be patching this road this week and I'll try to get some footage of the local concrete guys here doing their thing. Be good man!
Yes sir I’m such a big supporter!!! 👍🏼💪🏼
If I get over in the Hoosier state, I'll look you and ole Bobby Grubb up!
That would be wonderful!!! 👍🏼 a three collaboration 👌🏼
Looks cold there Tim!
It was that day Dave! Finally warming up here now!
Love your videos Tim… But where is your shoring or hard hats???
Thanks for the video. When is the video in the last clip going to be on RUclips? Please make videos about 10-15 minutes longer. Thank you!
Nice shoring nice ladder
Bob Riding's Ford must be central IL
Nice job
Is your guys street department and the grounds crew all one department? In my city it's all one thing, you'll see the guys fixing the storm drains one day and they'll be mowing the grass the next day. They get moved around a lot.
We have street, sewer, water, lake, and cemetery/airport dept. Most do their own things but if help is needed in other departments, everyone is usually eager to help out whenever needed.
@@TimMcArdle That's kind of neat that they have cemeteries that belong to the city. I used to work at a cemetery I loved it. Do you ever have to dig graves with them?
@@kobelcofan I have not...yet.. It is a very nice cemetery. Almost all my past family is there.
Man I wish I could work with u guys
its a ez fix, but within a few years that whole will grow and split the pipe again
Fortunately that whole pipe is being replaced in the next few months. The whole thing is shot!
Tim why wouldn't ya'll open a hydrant and bleed the air off a lot faster or were you afraid of to much water coming out and refreezing?
Unfortunately this particular shut down has no hydrant on it otherwise we will flush them and have a salt truck on standby.
Next hydrant was too far to send it down one way? Also did you guys backfill with sand?
Nice video Tim. Though at 4:06 may be the most awkward 40 seconds I've seen on RUclips in a while.
Lol
Hydro vac unit and run the boiler and no need for all that equipment.
Wheres the ladder?... ive never used chain scrapers while standing on a water main
Goes to show how water finds the easiest path and can be very far from the main, lucky your valves worked to shut them off... try working on mains from the 70's! Haha
This main was put in in the 60s I believe. It's supposed to get replaced now because of all the issues we've had. Only thing that saves us here is we've had so many breaks here, the valves get exercised alot lol!
@@TimMcArdle Damn, I'm only taking over our system for my third year now and they haven't exercised or even flushed hydrants! Lucky you've kept up with it, doing it live is our specialty unfortunately!
Yeah this part is good as far as a shut down. We have a lot of old stuff in town and definitely have some problem areas. I enjoy it and we try to remedy problems asap!
From 3:45 to 4:11 what is that tool u are using, what does it do, what is it use 4, what is the purpose of it & what is the name of that tool??????🤨🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Get that question alot. We call it a chain cleaner. It knocks the crustys off the iron pipes.
@@TimMcArdle oh ok. Nice video by the way😎👍👍👍👍
In the uk we call it a cleaning belt,keep up the good work lads👍👍👍
Yes sir another video !!! 🙏🏼 I like to do a collaboration with you this year !!!
That be awesome making a collaboration with you this year sometime this summer !!!
Dieing breed right there good work pipe guy need guy like you
That’s what you call a blowout!
What are those repair couplings called ?
Those are just Ford stainless repair clamps.
@@TimMcArdle thanks love your videos
What about shoring?
Don’t need shoring till you are 5 feet deep.
That should have been cut out, you'll be back within a year
With any luck, this main won't be in use within a year or 2! It's cast main and we've had several breaks on this stretch so we're looking at getting it replaced asap!
How many water main breaks can one channel/contractor possibly do? This is ridiculous.
why do I see no woman there? Theyre not having any children anymore, so what are they doing?
They are going to women's marches.
