This is crazy dangerous in every respect. I don't know what country this is in but here in Canada if a safety inspector saw this going on he'd shut the job down immediately. I've been operating heavy equipment for 22 years and I'd refuse to work under these unsafe conditions. It looks like about 3-4 metre deep trench with no shoring, no benching or option 3 is after 1.5 metres the trench walls are sloped at a 45 degree angle. Secondly when moving pipe or anything else with equipment you keep the load as close to the ground as possible while walking the machine with the load...not as high as possible...crazy shit. If that trench wall gives way that pipe layer would be crushed to death!
Thats right it is a goverment building, a sewer consort. Here are a some links: www.vobi.nl/projecten/cluster-4 www.hofmeijermechanicsandpumps.nl/Projecten/Rioolgemalen/art/102/cluster-4-rioolgemaal-benthuizen-meerzicht-en-oostergo-hoogheemraadschap-van-rijnland.aspx
+Aaron Rodriguez Depends of the specs required by the municipality. Where I am from, they require 4 to 6 inches of packed crushed rock, and where I work, a few inches of unpacked sand unless they hit wet ground, they lay 20mm minus washed rock. What amazes me of this project is how unsafe the trench looks. It usually should have a 1 to 1 (45°) or more slope or trench protection according to Canadian OH&S.
QuebecChantiers I'm not really sure what type of pipe this is but I naively assumed that placing some sort of "base" beneath a pipe was some sort of standard practice. And Yeah, now that you point it out I'm kinda wondering why there isn't any type of shoring? But like you said, and correct me if I'm wrong, this would depend on the slope of trench?

The Netherlands(dutch). Helmed is a duty for save in this country :)
Welcome to the life of a pipe layer. We got to eat to u know. Operators can be picky. laborers and ground guys cant be choosey
@@LUTHERJ304 you absolutely can! No job is worth your safety. I don’t know a single construction company that isn’t hiring pipe layers right now

Mixtarx I
Never seen someone compact mud. Almost as bad as someone compacting 57s or 68s
That trench does not look safe.
we just use shovels were I work at its 10x faster then that machine
I was expecting John Wayne to pop up haha
that bloke at the start had no ear defenders on
is that a metric range pole??
No tag line ?
What a set up 😂

Виктория Суслеченко drff
is there a reason why they dont put some type of base rock underneath that pipe?
+Aaron Rodriguez I think its because the rock would grind through the plastic coating of the pipe (if its made of metal)?
shouldn't there be some sort of aggregate base though?
If its a gas pipe sometimes they use sand
