Installing culvert pipes

[@1944robbo]

Hi Andrew from Australia, like everyone else watching you, I love the blond supervisor. Like most supervisors he never actually does any work, just barks some orders and then wanders off to see what he can find, goes for a swim in the neighbours pool, and comes back when you've finished the work to pass criticism! You have a wonderful job, and do great work fixing all these issues and like most of the other comments say, "watching you is addictive". I'm jealous because I should have gone into you line of business. Thanks, Ray

Those who have never been in an excavator have no idea what a deft hand it takes to run one as you do. Moving the culvert with the bucket and not crushing it but burying it with the same motion.... slick. You make it look easy.

[@AndrewCamarata]

Thanks, good eye noticing that.

[@JohnLaco]

the main thing i noticed too! any reason you didn't work your way up? I like starting at the low point so you're not working in water/mud the whole time.

[@jimb6683]

Makes it look easy with very worn bushings on the bucket/stick! I would hire him to do work for me anytime

[@CranialAccess]

It’s amazing how the boom, dipper, and bucket become one with you, especially when you’re doing fine work......I used to practice with the bucket full of water to develop a smooth non jerking flow.

[@bazzinbulgaria4826]

Totally agree with you John Laco..I would have started at the lower pond and worked my way back up.

[@stephendavies923]

Andrew, having followed your channel for many years, I enjoyed re-watching this video when YT suggested it. It was wonderful to watch the great QC inspector running around keeping an eye on your work. Thanks to you, people like me who never met Levi, will always hold him in our hearts because of you. Thanks again for your content and it was fun watching Cody be the QC in the recent CAT bulldozer video.

[@AndrewCamarata]

Thank you.

[@neilgelinas9926]

The fact that you hand excavated the ground after the initial water pipe was a testament that you care about the environment and your proprty.

[@jjcochran8599]

I used one of the techniques I learn from you on a 1 mile driveway the other day. It also got me the job because I didn’t have to haul 10 loads of rock in to fill the ditches that had washed out in the driveway. I dug the rock from a big bank behind the house and hauled it down the driveway. Thanks.

[@garykolo8650]

I like watching the dog just wandering around.

[@richc6278]

I think his name is Levi. Seems like a good dog.

[@laoluu]

Important thing is, it knows when to get out of the way.

[@ВасилийГаврюшкин]

In childhood I had a dog breed Scottish Sheepdog (collie). very smart. you are doing business, and he is constantly around, the company is up, and somehow it is more pleasant to get things done right away.

[@Lifeless11111]

i like how he is just watching him work

Yes.

That excavator handling skills is at legendary level. I can't even make that happen in simulator.

[@mikeRadamz]

I see that Levi knows when it's quitting time. 15:50 to 15:59. I had a Lab. that looked just like him and he went to work with me every day. He also knew when it was time to go home, sometimes he insisted! Levi brings back a lot of great memories. Thanks for the videos!

[@E.lectricityNorth]

2:30--music gets going; I sit back in my chair; smile spreads across my face. Therapy session has begun! Thanks for the video Andrew.

[@CharlesSavvy]

It is good to see those old machines work so well, and you know how to use them too. Great

[@michael7423]

as soon as Andrew starts working the chief inspector ( Levi ) is there to inspect and by the looks of his tail he definitely likes what he see's, I envy everything about you and your life Andrew!

[@GeoffreyWBlee]

Andrew every job you do, you do it perfectly. Its good to watch someone who is so presice. Thank you once again 🇦🇺

I don't think I could watch all these videos back to back without your four legged supervisor keeping a close eye on the production "quota."

[@rogerweaver7686]

I would consider digging a small catch basin at the head of each culvert to catch dirt and debris, thus less change of a plugged up culvert.

[@ChrisCoombes]

I was wondering about debris - a catch basin sounds a good plan.

[@MrTarkus007]

the only thing missing now is a beautiful log cabin all the way up the hill where nobody see's the house & you have peace & tranquility wow i could just picture it .... great job amazing !!

There is a castle up on the hill.

[@gerin1946]

Andrew, when you are working and Levi is with you, she does quite a few kilometers running around !! but now he is getting slow poor old fellow ! Love Levi !!!

[@sat20387]

"that dog " is supervisor Levi Camarata. Overseer to all things construction and repair related Especially if there is water involved.

[@strmtrooperwitapurplehelmt6414]

You sure do have a really GREAT dog... he knows to keep his distance and like you've said before he is a great supervisor and also good company!

I love your videos man one of my favorite youtubers. Love how you arent lazy to get out to move the camera and get the best angle, how your informative about what your doing and why, and on some jobs you go back some time later to give us an update on how the project looks. Watching some of your older videos i see theres people talking shit and making negative comments but i hope you dont let those discourage you from making videos. Keep it up!

[@michaeldibb]

Good old faithful Labrador and his master at work. A joy to watch.

[@cyberbiker0]

looks like a good job. however, the place i worked & got my pipe from recommended to go no less than 1' deep to prevent the pipe from being crushed by traffic. i've also heard to use some sand or dirt that touches the pipe to prevent rocks from puncturing the pipe. but those are DOT standards & they over-do everything. hope it does well for ya & this video might solve a squabble i'm having with a relative, about letting run-off flow atop the road. that has "bad idea" written all over it.

[@KW-cq4yr]

We replace a lot of these plastic culverts I work for hwy dept most of the time the plastic is usually not low enough on driveway connections and they work up or collapse after several years we only use galvanized pipe no plastic but I guess it depends On were you work at. some use concrete and the plastic culvert pipes. But for as our dot we only use galvanized and usually do not have any problems other than if one isn’t installed properly and it gets to filling up with debris or undermining they will rust out but usually it’s a very long time before replacement all the plastic ones I have replaced have holes collapsed or just worked up out of ground being too shallow.that is usually the case. But I can see one deep enough it would last a lifetime. Andrew you got some nice skills there. And I enjoy your videos thanks.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

They want 1-1/2 times the diameter of the pip over top of the pipe with loose fill in my area.

[@Jesse_Caulk]

I had to replace my driveway culvert a few years back, my township will do the work if I buy the pipe. I asked about going to 8 or 12" pipe from the 15" that was there for added cover and said it wasn't needed. Small/smooth stone is best but the smooth bore double wall pipe is extremely strong and will hold up fine with only a few inches of cover.

[@heatherwatson8273]

Well done young man, that block of land will be more productive now you've done that. I personally would have buried the pipe deeper up at the pond, (but that's just what I would do) and you may find you might have to put in a drain or two in that wet area so that in your wettest time the water will flow off the land into the pipe. Great work.

[@kaseywilkey4579]

Just a tip, if the water gets flowing at a good pace itll start picking up debris, put a few feet of gravel in front of each culvert to try and prevent so much from going into the pipe and clogging it. This wont stop the leaves but is a good preventative for harder to clean mud.
