- Around 2008 during my pilebutt apprenticeship, I climbed the leads to instal a mandril for driven grout piles. This is something the piledrivers at our company do on a daily basis. We climb anywhere from 20' too 180'. I am no longer a Piledriver, I switched my books and became a crane operator.... but i still enjoy the occasional climb.
All right. A video that shows the way to climb leads. NEVER TRUST THE RUNGS!
did this shit for 30 yrs in Chicago....don't miss it all!
did top man on piling rig no harness loved it was 40 years ago
Are your balls ok?
No safety harness no thank you! Risk your life to make the owner of the company a lot of money!
I've never seen leads so clean
Dustin TheWind it’s because they normally use air hammers.
@@lorenzollamas2975 huh, I was wondering what that hose was for... are air hammers used because of emissions or something? Only ask because of how much time it took just to set up the one pile.
Where is that?
@WilstonWinslow But can you build a 900 pound gazebo?
Cool job man, really curious on why the wire?
can't you use two bike locks or gun locks or structural bolts or high shear cotter pin or basically anything quicker?
Usually use layers of wire they tend to last the longest IME. I never saw it tied off like he was doing here but we've always used wire (just a different way), I rarely see any kinds of pins being used. They always brake apart or fall out and using wire in layers works well because it doesn't all break apart at once. It takes a lot longer to wear down and actually fall out rather than one solid piece. We have also used heavy gauge wire which works alright but even that is less reliable than lighter wire.
Putting the wire in those pins is something I'v never seen !
Wow that so crazy...hahaha awesome
Any advice on what to expect during the hiring interview for the apprenticeship?
In my interview they had some hand tools laid out you had to name them things like soap stone pipe wrench and so on. Some situation questions like can a 50ton crane always lift 50tons? along with math questions. Then a interview with about 5 guys. Usually a contractor the agent an instructor and so on. I've been doing it for about 6 months now and I love it. I've made more in one week then I have in a month. Local 1847 up here in Minnesota!
stay away
Have basic knowledge in wire rope capacity ratio in terms of its size, about splicing cables etc
What local was this? I'm looking to join and so far, pile driving has been the most interesting to me

Why don’t the contractors get them a man lift? Would be much quicker and safer.
Maybe there was not one high enough available?
Complete bull shit !!! I would do that for 20' feet ok then things dicey !! I hope you had fun it looks ??? I don't know SCARY !!!!
