Thanks, I learned something. I was always curious how this machinery worked😊

Great video ❤😂🎉

[@stefangarza6829]

Question: Do you guys stay parallel with the ground for long distances and even if theres a big difference in elevation from point A to B. Lets say you need to maintain a 6 foot depth.

[@lifeinthevalley14]

We usually stay around 1.5 meters so around 5 foot and ya we will steer and go with the grade of the ground to maintain the 1.5 meters

good job guy's

All the room in the world and still hit the mailbox 😂 unless you’re trynna get coms into that mailbox, ya’ll need a new locator 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@JoseAlvarez-uf3fb]

For real 😂

[@dfirth224]

So that's how it's done. I've been seeing these used in my city probably for about 20 years now. Besides normal fiber the city is installing fiber networks to allow traffic signals to be controlled by computer and also each major intersection has a surveillance camera monitored by police.

[@juancontreras1852]

Hey bro hopefully you got time to reply to this. I start next week for a local company doing what you do. You got any tips and tricks for us that are just starting off? Thanks.

[@lifeinthevalley14]

Just listen it’s pretty repetitive work so once you get your rhythm your good to go!

[@bmug-u2g]

Is the orange line hollow or is the fiber already in it? If hollow how is the fiber threaded?

[@lifeinthevalley14]

It’s just a pipe they take a air compressor and a dart and that’s attached to a string then they blow it through to the other end then they tie the fiber to the mule tape aka string and then pull the fiber line threw.

[@avnavcgm]

Very interesting. Do you always have to start at a low point, or can you drill for example downhill from a high elevation with no problem too?

[@lifeinthevalley14]

You can drill from a high point too no problem a lot depends on how much room you have to set up and what ground your running in too.

[@FollowTheMoney1]

Is it hard labouring?

[@lifeinthevalley14]

Have to know what your doing not a hole lot of labor involved endless you have to daylight things by hand.

[@OscarStanley-dz2jo]

Your crew should've had the pipe ready to go with sock and swivel ready, while yall were drilling.

[@elevatemylifetoday]

That looks alittle shallow. How deep was it?

[@lifeinthevalley14]

We go at 24”

[@outofAlog]

It’s telecoms… under the sod is plenty deep for those guys.

[@OscarStanley-dz2jo]

@@lifeinthevalley14 thats insane to drill that road any less than 36"

[@lifeinthevalley14]

@@OscarStanley-dz2jo up here you can’t go any deeper or your in solid granit you can watch your pin on your hammer disappear while you’re trying to break it and it just goes to powder it dosent break nasty stuff also it’s out in the middle of no ware if you seen another company is just running it through converts and hanging it in the fence along the road…

[@cerealbucketcoaster]

@@outofAlog are you kidding? if theres leaves around that'll do... sod would require a shovel 🤣

[@justincammidge]

Would it not be faster to just cut the asphalt and dig a trench? I have no experience in this kind of job, I’m just curious

[@lifeinthevalley14]

We are only at one spot for about a hour and then on to the next and Legally we can’t open the road it’s a special permit that’s hard to get for that kind of work and when we’re working with the drill traffic can still go bye without a issue

[@outofAlog]

Obviously.

[@ДмитрийВладимирович-х3ь]

what is the maximum expansion diameter this machine makes?

[@lifeinthevalley14]

I think 14”

[@ZachBecker-vo6hb]

That was real safe stepping over the head when the operator is raising the front. I would've flipped on that guy.

[@kevinlopez6203]

How much $ a foot ? And is the locator telling the operator where to go or is the driller doing all the work ?

[@lifeinthevalley14]

He was telling him ware to go but he’s really green on the box yet so figuring it out still yet

Locates. Locates. Locates. I didnt see any white paint marks that indicate you called in locates to check the area. Since you didn’t mention anything about first verifying that there are no other utilities around, I am assuming your crew didn't consider this at all. Ive run across many scenarios where contractors (typically sub) don't know any better and start drilling into the ground without calling locates first and they hit something…like our duct package that has multiple cables in it, or a 864 trunk cable in a 4". After you hit a 911 cable that runs along the highway and someone investigates what had happened to cause the outage, insurance might not cover you and there goes your company…down the drain and into the ditch.
