Digging A Sewer Trench

[trench9178]

Not only is this unsafe but it's inefficient, why is he bailing dirt behind him if that's the direction of the pipe?There's no money in digging the same dirt twice!

[geezerdombroadcast]

This contractor ought to be in jail for having this kid down in this hole that's not braced up. It should be cut a 3 to 1 slope or supported. I've watched someone suffocated when a trench caved in. We couldn't save him . We were digging franticly ;but could only watch horrified as he smother under the weight of tons of earth. It happens all the time. A four foot deep hole can kill you. You guys are clowns.

no hard hat no ladder no box or shoring great place for OSHA to stop by

[freddyreeks]

@charles12062 what country osha operate in?

[godiwannafuckthewife]

13 minutes and no pipe laid, no good mate need to work faster.

[volvoabdn]

why no teeth in the bucket much easier on digger and operator with teeth then dig out last shift with blade on small bucket

In every video the earth is like sand,is all of Denmark made of such soft earth?

[sugo013]

Coole Maschine!!!!!!!!

Aber fahren kann der Maschinist da auf dem Video nicht gerade fein.

Der Arbeiter unten im Graben braucht ein Helm, und grabe ein wenig mit Gefühl !!!

Ich bin Baggerführer in der Schweiz und da würde so ein Maschinist sein Jop verlieren oder zumindest verwarnt werden............

[bigcountry4570]

Do you guys have to pressure test ur sanitary sewer there, that looks like pvc truss pipe, we have a hard time with sand getting in the bell end and not sealing up good enough, we have to keep our pipe really clean

[702jhall]

Wow and no hard hat.

[ArEs7210]

@702jhall The hat is his own choice

[25mfd]

@702jhall Wearing a hard hat should be part of MINIMUM safety requirements.

[redheadedduckhunter]

@702jhall More surprising is the absence of trench wall supports.

[702jhall]

If e guy in the trech bends over and a clay dirt clod with is heavier than a plain dirt clod hits the guy in head it will hurt or knock him out very very un safe

[ArEs7210]

@702jhall Why doo you think that a an slideing the shovel down by the sides????

It's too remove alle the loose dirt from the sides, soo there's nothing laying on the sides too hit him in the head.

[702jhall]

1st of all it's clay dirt which drys out and spider cracks which is not a safe ditch. Plus the slopeing is un safe according to the OSHA standards. Horrible digging I fire people for that. I'm sorry but unsafe from any common sense competent person can see that with their eyes

[ArEs7210]

@702jhall Well any competent operator, can also see if the dirt is stable or not.

That is hard clay, it won't dry up before, i have finished digging and back filling the trench.

Not every thing has too be, by the standart book too be safe, it is not forbiden too have a look, on the ground and see what you are diggin in, and make a jugdement by what you see.

[stefje3]

[MissouriEarthMovers]

Great video!

[ArEs7210]

@MissouriEarthMovers Thanks

[2000jlm]

Nice work :)

[ArEs7210]

@2000jlm Thanks :)

[thequattro20v]

Looks like a regular laser to measure the depth. Love the cat engine noise.

[ArEs7210]

@thequattro20v Your right :)

Yeah pure music :D

[CnCKane08]

weird quick hitch lol

[ArEs7210]

@CnCKane08 it's a Verachtert quick hitch, it's very good you can't drop/loose the shovel, if the quick hitch fails, then the shovel just svings in the hooks.

Should have made a video of it :)

[togreektown]

Lasse, looks like a great machine to operate!

a geat HD video I may add

Question! the man in the ditch! is he using some kind

of GPS to get the right depth?

Thanks Wayne!

[ArEs7210]

@togreektown Thanks

we use a rotorlaser and a reciver for the hight/depth, the laser is under the camera soo you can't see it

[CataniaD6Kfan]

Nice video!! Could you tell me why the trench is so narrow? You would never see that around here. Even the fact that there is no trench box kinda surprises me.

[ArEs7210]

@CataniaD6Kfan Thanks

its good clay, it can stand by it self, noo reason for a trench box
