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.🤘

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.

Cyle Coles Glad you enjoyed it man, thanks...

I was thinking the same thing Dumbest move over seen in a while

Thanks for watching and subscribing...

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

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

Reinforced Concrete Pipe.

lmao😂

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

A rubber gasket goes on the spigot before installation

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

Yes, no problem...

@@13prevailbushcraft thanks

sorriest piece of pipe laying i ever seen!!! And slowest!!!

Not sure, my company buys them by the hundreds !

@@13prevailbushcraft Where do they get it from?

@@Lordacton09 precast

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.

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.

👍

Thank you for the tip I've only been doing it for 16 years now. Appreciate it...

Mohammed Alrugaib it's more of Civil than infurstrion

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...

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.

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

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.

I agree... if that bucket had of crushed that pipe , that dude would have been gone

Thanks for watching, hope you learned something here...

🤣🤣🤣 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...

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

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"

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

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".
