Installing concrete storm pipe at work in Edmonton, Alberta. This pipe is where all the rain water drains from streets and from weeping tile around some houses. Catch basins on street curbs collect rain water and then the water runs into these concrete mainlines where it travels to lakes or ponds...
Hey guys, this is not my usual content but if you love anything to do with the outdoors you should hit the subscribe button. In a few weeks I'll be finished work for the season and back working on my log cabin and documenting it all right here on the channel... Thanks in advance and have a great week...
Been laying concrete pipes for 35 years and this is the first time ive seen a man inside a pipe while machine is pressing it down, utter buffoonery
i was scared for him the whole time, i was glad that his buddy at least moved his hand for him
Literally the most dumbest and reckless thing I’ve ever seen in my existence
We go in but we’re a joint back not in the one he’s pushing on
Oh you've done it before,just joking,reinforced or not that's no good,now I have sat in there while my operator was digging out,if it was big pipe.keep putting it in the ground Boyz that's where it belongs.🤘
Nice video liked the use of gopro.
Im a groundwork foreman in the UK. If i let my lads be inside a section with a machine pushing it i would be in more hot water then you could ever imagine!
Why?
I thought the same thing. If that was a weak piece of pipe it could have killed that guy. I don't think it was very smart at all
Aye, there's being in the trench when you send her home but getting in the pipe to get the level? No chance, that wasn't big or clever.
Thank you so much for posting this video! I will be referring my students to this video so they can understand what goes into laying concrete pipe.
Cyle Coles Glad you enjoyed it man, thanks...
Safety first(!) I was waiting for the big crunch.
I was thinking the same thing
Dumbest move over seen in a while
What about a target to check it keeps lined up and checks for height for long runs for shorts runs I just use my tape.
CTR bro , just some friendly advice, we have too much deaths due to incompetence, you don’t have to do anything that’ll put you at risk when there’s tools meant for the Job. Just use a laser. Don’t ever expect the RCP to be strong enough that the machine won’t smash it while your in there.
Reinforced Concrete Pipe.
Great video..I hope to get on with a construction company doing that sort of work here in Winnipeg.
Thanks for watching and subscribing...
I came here cuz I start my pipe laying job tomorrow. Just wanted to see if I could get a grasp on it, being that I've never done it before.
David Wainwright how do you like it, I may start soon.
David Wainwright your in for a long ride
Miggys' Garage its good work provided you have a crew that is patient and knows the process
Awesome video. I work in the utility industry down here in the lower 48. You have earned yourself one new subscriber my friend.
Very cool...Nice to see what you do for a living...I worked construction one summer...Rain or shine but the money was good...Nice job on the editing...Take care, Gonzo...
We use the laser, but the only thing that doesn't look good, that guy should be outside when the excavator is pushing the pipe. Greetings
Joseluis Solorzano lol bro do you see any fabric? I'm a pipe layer, I use a lazer. Also the pipes are t that fragile just say fuck it and push it down to grade without a board. Takes to much time to put in pipe.
And he has no hi vis on its under his jersey lol
I spent the summer working on a pipe crew back when I was 20. Been right there with ya bro. It all runs down hill don't it buddy?
First off the pipe suppose to be cleaned before it hits the trench and I’ve only been doin it a year
Thank you for the tip I've only been doing it for 16 years now. Appreciate it...
Based in South Africa this is my weekly job it getting tricky when we dig more that 5m down trench as it's risky for collapsing
Nice video! I don't think I would have wanted to be in that pipe when excavator was pushing down on it. :)
sorriest piece of pipe laying i ever seen!!! And slowest!!!
I wish our pipes had those hitch points. We have to use those damn steel cable chokers that wrap all the way around the pipe. And on the 96 inch storm pipe, its a nightmare getting that giant cable around that gigantic pipe.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing!
But what do they do with these hitch points afterwards? Do they like seal them shut with just mortar or a special material?
The lift point near the spigot end is a good idea no need to push the pipe in with the bucket should of just left that chain attached and got his to slew and drag the pipe until its was butted in correctly and do any minor adjustments to line with crowbar
The hitch points are not holes all the way through the pipe could be a lifting lug built into the pipe
I was thinking the same thing
If you layer pipes like that in our company they'd get rid of you in a sec do you work for Winslow lol
Hats off to anyone who enjoys laying this time consuming concrete shit.
Yeah this pipe actually took a little longer to lay then most...Last summer I laid a 400 meter stretch...2.45 meters per pipe...That was a fun few days...Thanks for watching...
***** By no means am I calling you and your crew slow in this video. I understand how tedious and time consuming putting this stuff in is. Good to see you care about the work you do and will make sure the pipe is set right before moving on.

For the love of God please use a target. Also would be far faster to sit in line like your digging the ditch and lay the pipe that way and leave the bell end of the chain connected while homing the pipe. Then you can press it down and rehome it with out f ing the bell up.
👍
Good to see what you do....how much to that pipe weight?
lmao😂
Good old CMLC
I know you work hard but do you play hard. Do you think you'll get much trapping done this season? Till next time be well and stay safe.
Would’ve been on our third pipe
rough as guts........is the buck in the pipe still alive ?
what's the gradient first of all
very very interesting !!!:) I've always been fascinated with sewers particularly sanitary., Why are the Manholes so (what appears to me) so scattered all over., again, to me, they don't appear to follow any pattern, ? why is that. ?? the same for storm ? some run along the 417 (Queensway), so I assume they run underneath the highway, why would they do that ? do they are link together some how etc. Thanks,Art
Art's Bobcat just droping a little info that I know (only year in) but I willing to bet that those pipes on the highway are not going with the highway they are crossing underneath and a manhole is not in a pattern cause it's a place where the pipes met to make one it should be called manifold lid
Are the joints/seams of these pipes sealed with anything or do they just press into place?
A rubber gasket goes on the spigot before installation
Lube it first!!
Waw , wonderful , k.s.a. 🎋🎋🎋
rough as guts
How much cost
People build this for water safe purposes. Instead, people go inside of it and explore XD
just joined a new contracting company as Director of projects and i know nothing about infrastructure. i use to work in buildings architecture design. Now i feel lost some times when the team talk about methodologies and some infra. terminologies.
i have to at least educate my self about sequences of pipes installation ..... etc
Mohammed Alrugaib it's more of Civil than infurstrion
Hey bro, nice vid and rather cool,to cool to see ya at work. You and two others are working the rest look like government workers, stand on a shovel and supervise haha.
Can I please use a few seconds of your youtube clip for a video for my band. I can credit and link your channel.
Thanks
Yes, no problem...
@@13prevailbushcraft
thanks
How much does one of these storm drains cost?
Not sure, my company buys them by the hundreds !
@@13prevailbushcraft Where do they get it from?
@@Lordacton09 precast
You guys should try a pipe laser
I was using one...It's a few pipe down the run inside the pipe...we move it up every 8-10 pipe...I'm using a wooden lath to check the laser dot on a line I marked on the lath...I believe this run was .2%...Thanks for watching...
Can somebody tell something about these construction jobs? Im 30 and thinking of getting into construction because im sick of graphic design.
Hard work, good for students as a summer job but if you make a career out of it you'll destroy your body and never have time for family.
@@13prevailbushcraft ok , what do you think about installing air conditioners?
@@fractalelement857 Not sure buddy. I'll be 40 years old this summer and if I could share any advice with you it's to figure out what you love to do. Ask yourself, "What do I love?". Find what you're passionate about and find a career around that. If you have to work in construction until you can afford to do what you love then just put your head down and work. But always be working toward doing what you love. It will be so much easier to get up in the mornings and you'll live a much happier life.
Obviously not the smartest decision to push down on the pipe with his head inside
Not safe for me at all
wow, how does that company make money. has to be the slowest I ever seen anyone lay storm
Robert Gorka lol yes bro. I just said that pipe isn't fragile just say fuck it and push it to grade. And idk what the hell stick he is using for the pipes grade. Where's the target and lazer. Also I don't see fabric I'm a pipe layer also been for 4 years lol
I will up load video show u how is really done 72 in pipe to slow for me
Salvador Mendez This video consist of three different pipe being laid and I just edited it together. Also, if I were to upload a video where a pipe was lowered in and laid perfectly on grade, how boring of a video would that have been ? So I uploaded a video of a pipe that gave me a little grief to show how we deal with it. You would not last on our crew unfortunately...
lol I just got done laying 72" pipe "with a lazer" not a stick lol
Thats the size pipe i started on i wemt there towards the end of the project, did that for 2 weeks then finished off all the little 9" pipes was a breeze
@@chasebusta1950 It looks like they are using the stick as a target for the laser instead of a regular target. Target would be safer, as they wouldn't have to get inside the pipe.
I would have deleted this video. They need a new grade man
Definitely not something I would post or recommend I’ve been doing pipe work 28 years and never would I let my guys get up the excavator bucket while setting pipe to grade#oshashutdown
Total disregard for safety @2:25!
I agree... if that bucket had of crushed that pipe , that dude would have been gone
Where is fabric lol.
Fabric would only be used in an area that seepage is a concern into a high water table with contaminates. This is just for storm, so it's kind of pointless to restrict rain water from getting into the ground.
He means fabric from dirt getting into the pipe genius
@@dirtbag013 You dont need fabric for RDP pipe runs genius.
Need 6 guys to lay pipe
This guy was doing things well until he got in pipe while bucket was pushing down above his head. He could very well have been filming his own death. Work smart not hard guys.
Shocking video! This is NOT how to lay pipes properly. Note the water in the pipe at 50 sec mark. The point is to drain the water, not hold it!
🤣🤣🤣 you were quick to point out the water but not the hoses running into the manhole a few meters back. This was after a couple days of rain and the ditch beside me is being pumped into the storm manhole. I have almost flat grade so there is a little running uphill and out my pipe. But its all good, I still cash the big cheques I earn as one of the best in the business...
Unsafe!
takes 5 minutes too lay one pipe ahahahah
Thanks for watching, hope you learned something here...
No red dot .
Multiple osha violations here. Not allowed to use chains lifting pipe. I dont give a fuck about safety just saying
what is he doing with that stick inside the pipe? We use a laser... and we move A LOT faster lol
Mickey Mouse .... Lazer , pipe cable for such small pipe, and stay out of the pipe when setting it to grade you numtty
Trip420 numty ? We had some numpties working with us from Ireland. They had to go home, couldn't keep up with us here...lol.
Play safe
wtf yall are all so slow we would all get fired emidetly if we worked that slow and unsafe
oscar flores you work for a unsafe company then
oscar flores just kidding though they are slow , but hey every company is different and fuck it it’s about the money in the end if their boss is happy fuck it
@@danielcastro7104 good thing oscar works in the field and not the office judging by his spelling of "emidetly"
God damn rookies that pipe layer must not like his head and your digger guy looks like a train wreck
lol this is bad
ya well your bedding should be right everytime maybe a touch hi then wiggle it with the bar. look obviously you arnt laying pipes that long and obviously u dont be getting big meteres in and I can see why. you wouldn't last a day in our crew
I'd love to see you keep up on our crew we triple ditch with a 390 cat and get plenty of meters...you guys probably throw pipe in the ground and have to dig it out again once the camera crew inspects it...Please just upload one video of you laying this exact pipe...You probably just run the jumping jack and have only watched pipe being laid.
sham I laid a a 5 cell of 1500s, 140 pipes you would of had a shit attack even thinking about doing it. id never put the bucket of a machine down on top of a pipe because I wouldnt have to, my pipes always hit the bull on the target. any proper pipelayer that watches this video would think its a pure cowboy act.
+Darren O Reilly so obviously your a union pipelayer that thinks your better then everyone. sureway is a very reputable company in Canada along with kidco and I'm sure he did what he did for a reason. leave the negativity at home
This is ridículos.
To much time on one join of Pipe loosing 💰 new guys probably...😒😒😒😒
Wow. Way to slow and not safe at all. Always dig a bell hole... Set your 🎯. Move on.
wa a bunch of clowns iv been layin pipes for years and that is bad. a man sat in the pipe while a digger pushes on it clowns AI never copey this
Am I the only one who thinks using excavators or backhoes to MOVE the pipes into position quite overkill?
I am not talking about this video in particular, but this is standard in construction industry.
But specially excavator HOURS are pretty expensive. They should be doing what they were MADE TO DO: excavate.
Isn´t there some specialized, cheaper to buy and cheaper to operate machine for doing this job?
If they have another machine, that's more fuel to buy, more maintenance and one more operator to run it.
@@wailnshred Each machine has a cost/hour that already includes fuel, maintenance, operator, etc
Excavators have pretty high $/h cost.
A much smaller machine specialized for the job would be cheaper, simply because it would allow the expensive excavator to be used on what excavators are specialized at.
Your argument makes no sense. Otherwise you would see an excavator carrying stuff (like cement sacks) from one side to the other of the construction site, and when someone points out that could be done MUCH MORE CHEAPLY in a small electric cart, or even in a wheelbarrow, you would use the same argument about extra operator, more maintenance, more fuel...
@@rogeriopenna9014 You are not following me. More equipment, (even if one of the other operators runs it) means more cost. And another thing. Concrete pipe like in the video is heavy, what smaller machine is going to lift it at the radius they need to set it? It looks like 36 inch (approx. 1 meter) inside diameter pipe. If I remember correctly that would be approximately 525 pounds per foot, 8 foot lengths equals 4200 pounds each. What machine except for an excavator or crane can pick that weight and reach out far enough with it? And then home it up?
@@wailnshred
-more equipment, (even if one of the other operators runs it) means more cost.
No. Your cost is higher WHEN you use a HEAVY equipment with a high cost per hour, that could be doing something else it was designed to do, to lift and place pipes.
As I said, your argument that more equipment means more cost could be used for anything. "Hey, please, lets use that massive 500 tons crane we are renting for a fortune per day, that should be used to mount these giant steel structures, to actually move these 500kg piles of cement sacks around!!"
Time is money. An excavator costs about $50/h.
If you have a vehicle that costs $10 a hour to place pipes in place, you allocate the excavator to... EXCAVATE.
Let's say the excavator takes 1 hour do dig a 10 meters trench.
It takes 30 minutes to lay pipes in that 10 meters trench.
For a 100 meters trench, with one excavator, you will spend 10 excavator hours (10 x $50 = $500) plus 5 excavator hours to lay the 100 meters of pipes. ($250).
You had a cost of $750.
Now let's say you have a much cheaper specialized equipement to lay the pipes. $10 per hour.
You spend the same $500 for it to excavate the 100 meters trench.
But you spend only $50 (5 hours x $10) to lay the pipes in the same 5 hours.
You saved $200 out of $750.
And after the excavator finished digging the trench, it could already be moved to another side to excavate something else.
"What machine except for an excavator or crane can pick that weight and reach out far enough with it? And then home it up?"
well, exactly. I am thinking there should be some sort of mobile grantry type crane, remote controlled, able to lift the pipes (at last pipes the size of the ones in this video), maybe weels on each sides of the trenches, with a side loading mechanism.
ps:
concrete pipe diameters vs weight (1 meter lenght)
400 mm = 150 kg
500 mm = 240 kg
600 mm = 300 kg
800 mm = 520 kg
1000 mm = 840 kg
1200 mm = 1100 kg
So the pipe in this video, which imho looks 80cm (not 1meter) would be 520 kg.
@@wailnshred Look, I word in a small civil infrastructure company, only 250 employees.
We DO use excavators and backhoes for laying pipes.
But that's the question, our industry is used to do things as it always did. Elon Musk has shown that lots of things in engineering can be done much better than the "but we always did it this way".
