Thank you for showing the combo Sewer and Water pipe installation. very Deep for water pipe ( Freezing ground depth) Use to backfill mainline Sewer with a 125 International Loader and grade with 450 Case Dozer. We ran a single drum roller over top for compaction. Love seeing a Track loader backfill like that.
Great video. In NY our minimum bury depth for water services is 54” or 4’6” of cover on top of whatever size line being installed. It varies by frost depth in each region. In NC it’s only 12”. In Calgary it’s significantly colder for longer, so the ground frost has time to penetrate deeper.
When I was in college in the 80s, I was a top man for a pipe crew. No plastic sewer pipe, it was all concrete. I have no hair on my thighs because no one told me to wear leather chaps. It was hard work!
@@jons_collectibles_13 We only started using PVC in 85? I would have to carry the 4" to 12" pipe up to the edge of the ditch and knee it vertically before dropping. I can't remember if the 12's were 205 lb or 230 lb. It definitely got you in shape but was a lot slower than PVC.
Even deeper frost here in Fort McMurray. They get maybe -20's°C in Calgary, Fort McMurray -40's°C In the Spring, the Municipality uses steam trucks to melt the street drains/pipes for the melting snow.
Great video I to started working in the trenches Holidays, summers, anytime I could get out of school and make some extra money.Ended up working for large contractor in Omaha for 40 years Doing mostly under ground work running 3 or 4 different crew's putting in sewers, water, power, communication all around the midwest. Thank you for the video brings back memories.
I worked on 475 super dozers in McMurray a decade ago. They worked well, but are just too big and sink out of site. I recovered one from cadomin coal mine that was struck by a shovel. After loading on a trombone trailer we had to use a Letourneau loader just so the semi truck pulling it could pull the grade out of the yard! It's a big dozer.
Right in Sparwood is a massive green mine truck, 3 axles. Very cool older piece of mine equipment on display. Would recommend you check it out, can't miss it.
@Josh Podolsky Thanks for mentioning that giant haul truck. That truck is the one and only Terex 33-19. Better known as the Terex TITAN. The truck had a payload capacity of 350 tons.Powering the huge Terex was a massive locomotive engine that cranked out 3,300 gross horsepower. The Terex Titan was the biggest capacity mining haul truck for many years.I’m happy to hear the machine is on display and being looked after.
Love the details you have been providing lately! Would love cabin tours of the heavy equipment whenever possible! Love the Canadian vlog series - cool to see what issues they face and methods used to solve em.
awesome videos loving watching them I live in New Zealand and was interested to see the Komatsu Super Dozer as there are 2 here that are both Super Dozer Super Ripper both are retired now but worked side by side in a coal mine at Stockton one is in a museum the other sits at the gate of the owners quarry
Sewer isn't "Always" gravity brah. We have a community here where the houses are all on a hillside going down to the water. Each house has a trash tank, with lift pump. The water gets reclaimed to irrigate the golf course that weaves throughout.. Let's just say Check valves are a redundancy there!!
Aaron,Mother nature is always utilities correct,I'm just bustin your chains..Great video,Not a mini ex in site.. Don't get me wrong,there priceless,That was deep on those,I guess the frost line is wicked... Stay safe and enjoy my friend..
Great video I learned something as always which is great. I would love to see a watch me work episode of that Cat 6015B on the last episode, that would be cool, but until the next one take care.
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that the reason the water and sewage lines are so far deep is to protect them from the frigid cold on the surface and risk burst pipes, because Canadian winters are nothing to scoff at that's for sure. Also good to see you're off to Sparwood next, I almost got a job there as a Haul Truck driver, as I'd mentioned in the Oil sands video.
Best case scenario frost in Alberta penetrates down to a minimum of 1.2 Meters/4 feet. Many things such as traffic and lack of snow can drive frost line deeper. That's why water lines are laid at 3 meters/9 foot 10 inches.
I will say I wish you got to go over the pipelines in Northern Britsh Columbia... would have been a great opportunity for you to see and your viewers to see
Might have to move to canda just started a job doing this my first job out of high school, been pretty good love learning we do this too cool thing to see is these ones we do for water retentions giant trenches, we have open about 500ft at a time(but they run for 1000 or more at times)install 1-4 lines of 12ft diameter aluminum pipes. I like the career so far but im in arizona heat sucks and views there look so much better
I always thought D11’s were larger than the 475’s never been around the 475’s but a couple of guys I worked with that were D11 operators said they were. I got to see a 575 once and it was crazy how big that thing was.
Aaron! I'm up in golden BC lol, I can't actually believe how close you are to me. Depending on your schedule, try and go through banf national park if you get the chance and stop at the hotspring. You won't be disappointed just like I never am when I se you uploaded! Anyway you and your staff all stay safe and God speed!
Here in New Zealand there are 2 unique 575A Komatsu dozers that are both Super Dozer and Super Ripper both were owned and operated by Kaipara Excavators and worked at the Stockton Mine on the West Coast of the South Island one is now in Ross Bros museum in Cambridge the other sits at the entrance to Kaipara owned Brookby Quarry in South Auckland there are some TH-cam videos of them
We just got done laying a 30” and 2- 36” lines out of an old quarry hole, C-900 baby 💪 we do a lot of directional drill pipe as well YALL need to do a video of how we weld that plastic pipe together we do a lot of it for sewer lines, it’s crazy how strong it is💪
Curious - each set (pipe joint length of trench) they finish to grade, do they take their excavator, track over to the next trench then reset and they do that x2?
Ok just subscribed since i saw your videos for 5 mins. Im in construction, sort of, scaffolder..... The video that talks about your company. What do you and the people around you know about the dirtworld? Have you worked in the business? Since Aaron keeps cleaning his hands everytime he touches a crawler and in the oilsands video he said to the cameraguy "dont back into that, your jacket will get dirty" 🤣🤣🤣 Just wondering! As said, love the channel, the insight, the videography!
Why would they put sewer line and water line so close.what if there's a sewer leak then it bleeds into the ground.any kind of water leak wouldn't be good at all.
Aaron, Yes the city is called Calgary, but it is not in Ontario, it is in Alberta.(Ontario is on the east coast while Alberta is on the west coast) In the description, you said Calgary, Ontario. Great video anyway Thanks!
@@Alfymale Is there another west coast that i miss? i was just pointing one province is in east and one is in the west of the country. If you didn't get that, no one can help you. Get a life.
Why do you film these like you are some supermodel who is posing on construction equipment? Helicopter ride? oh great, what are we going to see? Some cool trenches, where the development complex will be? Are we going to see the dig site? No. he edited that all out, and the helicopter ride's focus was on him going to lunch. Everyone is here to watch dirty jobs, but you are posing and focusing the camera on you more than the actual job. This is what would happen if Paris hilton brought a camera to a construction site.
How long could you live without utility systems in place?
Forever i’m wiping my ass with a leaf and rubbing sticks together to make fireeee.
not long if i ate taco bell that day!

Growing up working in the bush you get real used to the ol bucket, sh*t tickets and the nearest stream 🤣
Very well actually. I'm obviously not a city boy
Did you mean to say you love pipe and that you had a soft spot for it?
😱ut-oh. Tooo funny 🤣. God bless America🇺🇸
Aaron, Alberta is been great for you from suncor oil to pipeline in Calgary, man i sure do enjoy your vids
Keep a great work
Sewer it NOT always gravity. There are plenty force mains out there. You will know real quick if you hit one.
yes I'm talking in residential applications here. Bad day if you hit a force main haha
Love the pipe process explanation, I’ve never seen someone put it so clearly
thank you Tristan
I really look forward to these videos!!! Your becoming a real ambassador for this trade dude great job👍🏻
Thank you Jared!!

makes sense. In Arizona where I grew up frost isn't much of a concern haha
I used to work in calgary and can remember ripping frost 12 feet deep , it really sucked and do not miss it ,lol
When I was in college in the 80s, I was a top man for a pipe crew. No plastic sewer pipe, it was all concrete. I have no hair on my thighs because no one told me to wear leather chaps. It was hard work!
Lots of places in Sacramento still use RCP for storm and VCP for sewer. If it was up to me I would use PVC for everything!
@@jons_collectibles_13 We only started using PVC in 85? I would have to carry the 4" to 12" pipe up to the edge of the ditch and knee it vertically before dropping. I can't remember if the 12's were 205 lb or 230 lb. It definitely got you in shape but was a lot slower than PVC.
@@AndyFromBeaverton 94 lbs
Beaverton as in Oregon?
We use concrete plastic and evrything in-between been slinging pipe for 20yrs and i still got hair where its meant to b
3 meters because it’s damn cold up there. It freezes down to 8 ft easily there.
Even deeper frost here in Fort McMurray. They get maybe -20's°C in Calgary, Fort McMurray -40's°C
In the Spring, the Municipality uses steam trucks to melt the street drains/pipes for the melting snow.
Quickly becoming my favorite channel! Much respect for these incredibly skilled men these projects are nuts
thanks for watching John!!
3:53 6 tenths over 100 feet. Or a little 7 inches per 100 feet.

Seeing that deer 600c lc brings back some memories. My first ever union job at 18 first day I was put in one. Was used to running 320s and minis
that's awesome

thanks for being here
lived in Sparwood for 4 yrs loved it out there can't wait too see the next vlog !
hopefully we're back soon
This footage is awesome to see. I've worked all across western canada in construction and mining, great content!
I get to deliver all the pipe to crews like this in ontario! Met alot of great people
that's awesome
Great video man!
thank you!
I absolutely love these videos! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you Kent
Aaron has a soft spot for pipe. Guess that clears that up!
;)
I know exactly where this is I drive by that site almost every day haha that’s awesome that I’m seeing it on here
sweet!!!
You have one great job!
You should check out the Glendale Megasite, Glendale KY. Massive operation
we're heading to the NC mega site this week
1st, I love your vlogs, I reside in Calgary & the reason we Canadians go deeper into the dirt is due to our frost levels. 🙂
Sewer isn't "Always" gravity brah. We have a community here where the houses are all on a hillside going down to the water. Each house has a trash tank, with lift pump. The water gets reclaimed to irrigate the golf course that weaves throughout.. Let's just say Check valves are a redundancy there!!
Hey I know Blu-Con! And Matt and Ryan!
Great video Aaron! When we’re you there? Lunch at the Saskatoon Farm…good food there.
a few months ago
Great video, keep it up

I just watched that video on the oil-ly rock stuff and read your comment their too.
I can see why you can’t get a haul truck driver job if you have to guess it’s about frost lines…
Best case scenario frost in Alberta penetrates down to a minimum of 1.2 Meters/4 feet. Many things such as traffic and lack of snow can drive frost line deeper. That's why water lines are laid at 3 meters/9 foot 10 inches.
Thanks for confirming. Having lived in Calgary for 4 years, I know it can get mighty cold in the winter.
Here in montana waterline has a minimum of 6½ feet of cover.
Good job, thanks for the video 🤟
thanks for watching
I will say I wish you got to go over the pipelines in Northern Britsh Columbia... would have been a great opportunity for you to see and your viewers to see

The work in this vlog reminds me of the OG Vantagetes channel.
Excellent your video sir super Sir
You should come back when Big White ski resort starts their 50 year plan to build up the mountain
sounds neat
I’d love to go for a ride in the D575A-3SD that would be a blast!!
I always thought D11’s were larger than the 475’s never been around the 475’s but a couple of guys I worked with that were D11 operators said they were.
I got to see a 575 once and it was crazy how big that thing was.
Come check out the big C43 water management project here in Labelle, Florida by The Lane Construction Corporation
Good video and good info
Thank you
thank you very much for watching

You get um! A helicopter ride to lunch, mmmeeeaaannn. I'm sure there will be many more great firsts.
not a bad gig
Here in New Zealand there are 2 unique 575A Komatsu dozers that are both Super Dozer and Super Ripper both were owned and operated by Kaipara Excavators and worked at the Stockton Mine on the West Coast of the South Island one is now in Ross Bros museum in Cambridge the other sits at the entrance to Kaipara owned Brookby Quarry in South Auckland there are some TH-cam videos of them
It has to be that deep because its below the frost line, which is 10 feet or 3 meters up in Calgary.
well now it all makes sense
D11 is bigger than the 475 d11 is the biggest production dozer again after they stopped the 575
Not by weight. 475 super dozer has it edged
Put it against a D11XE and let’s see which one should carry the title of super dozer
We just got done laying a 30” and 2- 36” lines out of an old quarry hole, C-900 baby 💪 we do a lot of directional drill pipe as well YALL need to do a video of how we weld that plastic pipe together we do a lot of it for sewer lines, it’s crazy how strong it is💪
@ 0:50 they are Laying A
Storm line, Sanitary line & a water line.
👌🏻
I’ve never seen the pipe laser not in the structure, very interesting! Btw you’re killing it dude love the videos
I was thinking the same thing. Only seen them in an invert or structure
That 600c deere is nice, miss the yellow paint scheme.
it was a well maintained machine
For the sewer are they using a transit laser for the depth of the trench
Maybe
I love what you’re doing out there Aaron I’m jealous, I would love to just go check out other peoples job sites!
the saying goes, "Poo flows downhill", but they forget to mention not to use more than a 12 percent grade.
They don’t test the lines before backfilling and compaction ? Inspections?
They put 1 lift on the water line then pressure test. Sani and sewer get camera
Nice Boston hat
good job bro
Man, I wanted to see the super dozer!
Curious - each set (pipe joint length of trench) they finish to grade, do they take their excavator, track over to the next trench then reset and they do that x2?
How’s the cooling system on that doze? Asking for a friend…
When you said you have a soft spot for pipe 😂
;)
@@AaronWitt All jokes aside, keep up the good work.
Don’t they test the lines before they bury them?
The rest of my life, wood heat, own well, septic and a few solar panels is how we live.
you think someone in the govt would notice if you armored a dozer like that? reinforced the radiator lines?
Not always gravity for sewer you can have a force main for sewer. Although you probably know this but most normal people don't.
Back in my day we used to hand dig in frozen ground that deep up hill
man i hate utilities with a passion but i still have to bid it and get it in order to secure my dirt work in the contracts 😂
What company are those safety glasses?
Oakley
prob that deep because of the frost line
well that explains it
Calgary is still really growing now that the oil industry is back
@Larry Bimak Why did you think that way?
@Larry Bimak it's the same with nickel and gold miners in Northern Ontario
I like your video 📷📸

there is such a thing as pressure or forced main sewer lines...they are fun to live tap...ask me how i know...ugh
yeah I'm talking in residential applications. Live tapping a force main ouch haha
I turn my volume up to understand Aaron's words, then I quickly turn the volume down to get the screaming music out of my headphnes.
we're working on the audio
A 407 😮 Quite the succesful contractor 😉
prefer a heli?
At least they put it in straight…. Lol
