  • How come the sides are not shored!! Nice video tho.

  • @Skara555 A test trench was monitored for many months, with never a trench wall failure. Soil was tested by Geo engineers. The soil is very hard, decomposed volcanic rock and cemented naturally. Soil load bearing reading exceeded test scale schedule. Final determination followed OSHA standards of the time. Some trenches were shored, depending on other factors such as weather, Duration, depth, width, vibration, and others.

  • seanyboy; Thanks, yes safety to my fellow workers is most important. I guess there are people with positive thoughts..

  • It's actually a 1 year old, 450 Hitachi. Thi pipe is a rotary cast, reinforced, bell and spigot, about 13 tons, made locally per city specs. Yes, the sub grade and bed course was graded with a pipe laser. These 3 guys are the entire labor force, and does everything to build a housing subdivision, and this company would never reduce the crew to save money. One guy is the foreman. We have been doing this for 30 years and have not had an accident, other the the band aid kind. Knock on wood.

  • Hey jock, if you have posted any positive comments anywhere, tell me where, I'd like to improve my opinion of you.

  • To Roninfalls only. You are correct. Everything shown was tested, engineered, and inspected by 3 government agencies. Laws and rules vary in different regions, and those who compare it with other regions, just lack understanding or are looking for negatives. . Thanks for your input.
