I didn’t see any arguments on bell direction… so, I’m thinking you got it right!!! LOL If they keep the leaves and brush out of the basin, it should handle a lot of water. I picked 12 grapples full of leaves and sticks out of the road culvert this month. I’ve never seen so much debris floated out of Sassafras Valley. I was going to clear the brush out this summer but it catches so much debris, I think I’ll leave it be for another year and study the issue. That was a nice transformation… Chris would be proud!!!
Any business that is trying to fight Mother Nature will always be a secure business!👍 I truly hope you and the family have a safe and relaxing holiday weekend!🇺🇸 Thanks again for all the great videos!
For what you started with I think what you ended up with was a sweet looking finished product. I don’t know what client wouldn’t be happy with those results. Thanks for the ride along.
You really are an artist with your loader. You build a plausible creeks channel and they get right into realism with your loader!! When you are done everything looks as it’s the original channel!! Hahaha Looks good Brandon!! This site is turning out to have lots of bonus work!
All I can say is: WOW. That came out looking like a park! You had me worried when you were putting the stone in between the pipe, though - I thought you were going in head first, LOL! Nice work as always.
Outstanding! Putting in a single culvert at my home soon. Looking forward to learning some skills. I appreciate the time it takes you to make these videos.
Looks great as usual, straightening the ditch out makes sense, the curve may look nice, but (well, from memory, when I used to see rain) water will always try to "straighten the curves" and would eventually mess up the road again. Enjoyed that, thanks!
Yep, lazy curving rivers become raging straight through-ways during floods… eventually they carve their way into straight aways, given enough floods. I’ve been watching the creek across from my house do that. About 35 years ago they put in a 4 lane divided highway. They put in new bridges with concrete and rip-rap to divert the creek. The next curve after that is in front of my house. The creek flows a lot faster now and my curve is being carved out foot by foot! It has already made a two acre island on the inside of the bend. Mother Nature always wins in the end!!!
Excellent job. A serious improvement over what was done before. That job was way undersized for the amount of water it has to handle at times. Funny thing is, my like number 54 is the year I was born. That's a first on any of the channels I'm subbed to.
Good looking job, well done! My County Judge told me that USGS has an app online to calculate volumns of water and pipe sizing for a "given rain amount over a traceable land area". He said he uses it often to upgrade the pipe sizing to fit a particular site. I haven't used it.
Always enjoy your videos! I hear people say the same thing you said that 2-18” are the same as 1-36” pipe. The area of a 36” pipe is ~1,000 square inches. An 18” is ~250. 2-18” is still only 1/2 what 1-36” will flow. I don’t disagree with your approach, you have to make due with what grade you have to work with. Thanks for sharing all these videos, I’m sure they are a lot of work!
"2-18” are the same as 1-36” pipe." Nope, Math here.. You need **4.3** 18" pipes to equal a single 36" pipe. Or **15.6** 12" pipes equal one 36" pipe. A 18" pipe is equal to **2.8** 12" pipes.
Freaking excellent job Brandon, man that turned out awesome, you were right with rasing the road up, end result was perfection, thanks for sharing bud 💪🇺🇲
That was a fun job, looks great. FYI where a similar stream leaves my property is 2 18 inch double wall pipes. They have their bell ends pointing up stream. During a very large rain, the stream overflowed the road. After the water went down I found both bell ends collapsed over the end of both pipes. Had a hard time bending them back out. Second time it happened I cut off the unused bells.
Man that turned out great, nicely done. Compaction wheel works nice, ?, do you or any of the manufacturers think, when using a wheel, it puts extra stress on the house bearings. LD 18 will notice. Stay safe and have happy Memorial day weekend.
There are couplers, tees, and wyes for dual wall HDPE. they are fabricated from pieces fused together. we have a local supplier here that can make them up for contractors.
Yeah they make all kinds of fittings for them which work nice. I haven’t had too many jobs where I’ve used them for more drainage stuff vs just a culvert
Way more water goes through a 36 inch pipe than two 18 inch pipe and a 12 inch pipe Brandon. Just trying to help. I understand you can’t use a 36 inch pipe.
No depth for a 36 inch pipe and keep the grade right. It would put a hump in the road. Plus 36 inch pipe actually costs 50 percent more than two 18 inch pipes together right now.
He’s just explaining that the surface area of a 36” is much greater then 2 18” 36” pipe has a area of 1018 sqin 18” pipe has a area of 254.5 sqin 2 18” = 509 sqin So 2 18” have exactly HALF the area of 1 36” pipe.
@@FishFind3000 that’s correct… the combined circumferences are the same… but the area is what determines the volume of flow… and that elevates by a factor of the radius squared.
Made sense to straighten the water flow into the pipes. The straighter the better. That looked nice. Appreciate the vids.
Thank you! I agree seems to help flow more

Thank you! I really appreciate that! I try too, that’s probably what I enjoy most is grading and shaping.
Wow. You cleaned that up nice ❤
Thank you!
Looks great..!
I like that curve feature if the creek…, but the reality was…, more erosion to that bank…, and more repair(s).
Thank you sir.
Thank you! That’s what I was thinking too. Appreciate you watching

Thank you! It really changed the look of the place. 🤣 yeah I thought I was too for a minute
Fantastic job! You cleaned that up very nicely! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Wow! What an awesome job. The property owner would be very happy with that.
Thanks man! He was very happy. Appreciate you watching

Yea, water carves out the turns until the turn eventually connects to another bend in the river and becomes a straighter path.

Very nice Brandon. :)
Thank you!
Your finished product always looks amazing. I’m getting ready to put in a back slope and swale and hope mine looks as good as yours.
Thank you! I appreciate that! Nice sounds like a good project. Best of luck
Looks great 👍
Thank you!
Awesome job big guy !!! Looks amazing almost to the point of beautiful !!! I'm impressed big time 👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤣

Beautiful job Brandon and thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching
@@eliteearthworksllc your welcome!
Damn fine work..
Thank you!
They make 18 inch bands that wraps around the pipe for all sizes . It's the same thing as using a coupling. They are very helpful.
Yeah those work nice. I just wanted the bells to be the same direction on this one
Wow, really awesome! Loved seeing your approach and hearing your explanations!
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Nice Repair!
Thank you
Looking good sir, hopefully the weather hasn't slowed you down.
Thank you! I’ve been staying busy work on base rock so that’s at least good lol
Almost looks like the owner needs you to put in an overflow below the height of the inlet. Another job well done by Elite!
I agree I know the guy that dug the pond out and that’s pretty typical of his work
Awesome job !
Thank you!
looks much better now
Thank you!
Nice job as always!!
Thank you!

Thanks man
Perfect finish!!
Thanks man
Looked good until it got dark. Maybe we can get some daylight footage some other day???
Thank you! I will I have to go back and build a pad for a new slab house. I’ll do an update

looks great
Thank you!
Looks a lot better and should function a lot better 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thank you! I hope so
Still a little wet there. Looking better.👍👍
It’s very wet!
A little puckered up there for a second on the skid steer?😊😊😊
It was for a minute 🤣

Thank you! I don’t think it does. But I guess it’s possible if you are really pushing on it. You too thank you!
That backfill with the skiddy had a certain pucker factor to it.
It was at first 🤣
You should of made a cougher dam wen you was digging that dich it would of made it a lot easier on youk
Yeah that’s true a lot of the water started coming in from the pond. It’s just a mess lol
"Control the water or the water will control the job."
So here I was thinking…he’s going get his feet wet but trust a talented operator who knows a few tricks to figure it out. Well done.
I did 🤣🤦🏼♂️ I need so better boots
Enjoy the video man .
Thank you! Appreciate you watching
Good old boys job, I have a friend who has a friend, does really good cheap jobs.....
Thank you! Lol yep that’s definitely true here
It looks like there was a bunch of water coming though there.
Yes there was a lot!

Who dug the pond? let me guess the pond guy Chris LOL
Probably so 🤣
Four 18" pipes would equal one 36" pipe.

You need ***4.3*** 18" pipes to equal a single 36" pipe. Or ***15.6*** 12" pipes equal one 36" pipe.
