How much does a project this size cost to clear and grub?
The fiberglass rebar is US made so it had less of a price jump than most materials. I recomend using steel corners and window surrounds in double #4 with other areas #5. Just start with the fiberglass so its youre standard. If its price competitive order the fiber bent pieces. They try to price it the same as steel to tell a supplier that you should get a discount of 2 ft of material for each corner since its that much more rod than being able to bend the rebar around corners. A 20' stick of steel almost goes around an egress window with one piece to tylie thw ends together. Fiber is 4 corners and 4 5 foot straights to tie them together. Twice the amount of material. If they give it to you take the fiber because one person can place a window cage of it and steel takes two people. Get Helix 5-25 micro rebar so you can take out all youre rebar other than the perimeters and penetration in most cases. These are easy to use and once you use these forms you will do youre own concrete. Great tools. Dont pour over 12' wothout an engennered mix to prevent blowout.
Thanks
I must say,its more enjoyable watching someone else do it sometimes,than having to myself..😂😂👍👍
Isn’t flow line the bottom of the inside of pipe and then you add thickness to get the true bottom of pipe ?
I remember picking up Railroad cars out of Belfouche SD. An old head conductor said to me years ago. Be careful when you go to the Gorilla factory. I was confused. The engineer turned and said. The bentonite is all over the rail, very slippery and it sticks to everything like gorilla shit. I waited and before I could ask about the gorilla. LMAO. But it does get nasty after a thaw or rain. I am considering using a bag for my hogs water hole. Suddenly the clay got really thirsty.
Good Job ...good channel
Cat duzer d6r replacing
I consider this fastening to be unreliable: they did not use a thread sealant, and did not remove the paint at the place where the track adjoins the hitch. The guys have done a lot of work, but it's all short-lived.
Good for you, congratulations!
Ive never set a pipe laser up on the ground like that, but may be easier to line it up that way. 🤔
does anyone know how to much to charge for labor to run 990 ft of 24inch HDPE? including excavation
All paint should’ve been grinder off .. operator is going to loose pads soon 😢
Cuttin grade with a dozer is bad ass ! Especially blue tops! Where’s the blade
I’d send him home for Not greasing the equipment
Did you include the prep work on your price?
I like the three feet above the box
How do I get my grade for my manhole after HI?
Nah I run equipment, they run shovels. I don’t ask them to get in the machine to dig, don’t ask me to get out and dig
you need to align the gauge with the source rod aligned to the hole and drop the source rod in. You are getting exposed to more radiation when you take the source rod out first and drop in the hole
👏🏼 question: if you were doing your own site(a shop for heavy equipment with a level parking lot) in a couple of acres. Is the black plastic pipe structural for the traffics? Or would you use concrete pipe? Imagine it would have 3-8 feet cover. Clay and sandstone. Thanks
Did you ever get the follow up video to this one published? I looked on the site and could not find it.
Excellent work!
wow i also idea about it
who does the inspection? city of houston?
who does the inspection? and how much does the inspection cost? is it city of houston?
Yes but how do you set the numbers on that stake? How do you come up with where your grade is? I know how to grade and how to check stakes just not how to set my own stakes
always wondered how that was done love the 70s porn music in the background too very entertaining
Rough total job cost on something like this? Building a house and we have a drainage easement and I would like to route it like this.
This is more so community storm water drainage that would run below the road. For doing it at home you can use far less expensive systems. These are also referred to as gully systems and for your home you use maybe 4” piping. You can also put channel drains if you have areas where overland water sheets during rain. Gully is more for areas where the ground has been graded toward. If you’re looking for a system suitable for your situation contact a landscaping supply company their sales department will set you up with what you need to properly drain your site.
What a complete sh*t show no PPE standing in a bucket rigging off the bucket prime example of a owner/boss that doesn’t care and or know better gonna get someone put in a situation working for this guy
Completely underrated channel. You should have a million views. Excellent videos!!
Thats good ole fashioned bevelmanship,carry on boys 🤘
Thats a risky way to find a utility. You need a hydrovac bud.
Beautiful work
This is interesting. I have to dig a 4m trench for a sewer offset junction to go into my property. I see the trench box is fine for straddling the sewer main, but how do you then put your junction pipe in which is close to right angle off the main? The trench box is solid and blocks the way.
The guy holding the pipe not needing a gym membership. Honestly that depends on your fitness goals. You won't build much muscle from that pipe thing compared to weight training. Just wanna throw that out there haha. I'm in a pretty physical job and I got most of my muscle gains from weight training. The strength and stamina was from the job though.
I saw the plans ,ostly called for a .30%. Did you set the laser at .26% (video mark 1:29) because the laser was further back than if starting at the catch basin?
The dude inside the bucket 😂😂😂
Great video.
The damn pipelayer knows they should have the cleanout at no more than 4 ft. What kind of jackleg pipelaying are they doing?
Where you been?
I think I heard you say. 145 a load I think 200 is fair I got a guy bringing me sand right now he said. 190 I said it’s worth. 200 he is get ready to bring me my third load I’ll probably need I hope only 2 more but we’ll see I am building up a low spot I have other dirt underneath that I got the yard lol ok’ing good😊 thanks nice Vidio you and George stay safe😊
