Moving 25,000+ Yards a Day with Three 90-Ton Excavators

[@martymorse2]

Would really enjoy seeing you visit one of the heavy equipment manufacturer plants in the USA.

[@AaronWitt]

I've visited a lot of them but they're usually weird about video

[@pacificcoastpiper3949]

@@AaronWitt what’s your favourite brand? One of mine is Liebherr, my aunt works there

[@dillonmagers7233]

The scale of some of these jobs are crazy to see. I had a 40,000-50,000 yard job and thought that was the cats meow, it was a lot of work for two guys lol.

Excellent. Man and his powerful machines having there way on mother nature. It’s great being at the top of the food chain!

Awesome video, I live not to far from this site and pass it every day during work. It's cool to see what was going on.

[@AaronWitt]

sweet!!

[@rp1645]

Thank you for all your neat videos. Being able to see these sites. For myself got to see a blast at KINNACOT at Salt lake City open pit mine. ( My spelling is bad on names) sorry. The huge open pit mine just West of Salt lake City. Bingham Canyon Copper Mine. You can see the Hole from space. The Cat D-11s start there Ripping as soon as blast are done. To break up the hard rock just blasted, for bench digging with huge 4100 electric Shovels. There is one huge article Loader with blade for smoothing pad drive area around shovels for monster Cat Dumps to be loaded. Every piece of large earth moving equipment looks like a tiny ANT'S inside that bowl of mined earth. There is a training model for operator to learn to operate the big Shovels. Is scaled down, with a mock up cab and control, everything the operator does. The scaled down shovel does. Highly recommend the view area/ gift shop as a place to go, for people to see blasting and bench cut removal of earth. Highly recommend if ever going to Salt Lake City and you have some time. The Guard gate people are very nice. Give you a map, to gift shop/ observation area. A bus load of Engineering want a be students were at view area, before they got to go down to operate the scale model. Boy I wanted to sneak on there bus. They also have a great museum. There is a lot of GOLD they separate out of raw materials when they make the raw product for steel. The large Cat excavator that you show in this video. They can only load those large Cat Dumps by the back opening. They don't have the highth to dump bucket over the side. They had 3 of the biggest Cat Graders, working in tandem to grade haul roads, just constantly grading the roads, very fast. There is a POWER crew with huge boom trucks just to extend, build more grid, ect. For the Electric Shovels. Long lines of huge Cat Dumps constantly moving back and forth, loaded to dump, then back again. The workers work 3 long days then have days off. The raw rock dug just being moved constantly. Very impressive to see. A bucket list for anyone who moves earth.

[@CoreyGraham-e6m]

You’re literally doing exactly what I have always wanted to do. Interviews with operators and owners. Past and current experience. How did you do it?

[@uncommonlogic1698]

Excellent explanation 😁

[@Rds1993]

25k a day is nuts. Here I was thinking my 130k job that took months was a feat

[@MattRogersdesigns]

Just so you know, Upstate New York generally starts north of Albany (which is in the Capital Region) - think Adirondacks. Newburgh is in the Hudson Valley. Binghamton and Utica is Central New York, Ithaca is Finger Lakes, Buffalo is Western New York as some general points of reference. Everyone from Manhattan or Long Island think Upstate is anything north of NYC. But then again, they also have asked questions like "Where do you put the animals at night?" and "can you go out in the forest when it is raining?".

[@AaronWitt]

hahaha noted thank you

[@gusmoney7828]

As someone from the Hudson valley. You are very right.

It's called crushed stone once it's given a particular size

[@johnnymurff4137]

Awesome video awesome, I know this is construction 🚧 project, but I like seeing rock or stone being crushed and stockpiled and made into road base material. Only if it there were a video of the crusher crushing the rock and stockpiling it lol, I would watch it. Keep up the good work

[@allensandven0]

Oddly satisfying I think is the phrase coined by someone on KZbin

Actually Petillo is located in Flanders NJ, they have a New York division.

[@dakotarobinson7869]

Would love to see you check out some of the Australian mining machines !!

[@ThePilotPenguin1]

If ur back on that site again could u film more of the drilling? I used to run atlas copco d55s, it would be really cool to see those other rigs and all them working

[@jimmyrhino6176]

Make sure they stem those holes right. Dud a blasting job in Wyoming on Chief Joseph Hwy and we had some lazy guys that would throw rocks in to cheat. Which left boulders I had to hand drill.

[@scotkimlin5627]

That’s tight. Those are some big diggers

[@dustinwyatt775]

If you’re ever in lake Elsinore, Ca we have a mine site that’s been around since the 1800’s manufacturing brick on site that’s sold around the country (Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc..) and of course have our own concrete manufacturing etc.. on site we have a 374, Volvo 700’s, D9-D10, haul trucks, etc.. the best part? The company is owned by Dole pineapple.. not kidding.

[@carlfalt174]

Curious as to what the final product looks like?

[@martymorse2]

Great content as always. Thanks for letting us tag along for your trips to some of the major civi engineering(CE) projects in the USA. Looking forward to seeing more of the huge CE projects that will come from the new infrastructure bill. Any chance you will be going to any of the big construction projects outside the US? Finally, like you, Manhattan is not my cup of tea.

[@rp1645]

YES New York City is someplace I never want to go. A guy I worked with saved up his money so he could take his Bitch of a girl friend to New York, all she wanted to see was the big FOX, CNN, MSNBC studio, she want to rap her arms around Matt Lowier. That's why I call her a bitch she just wanted to hopefully see a big name Fake news person sweep her off her feet. My friend said there were to, to meany people everywhere they went. Everything was crowded to get to Status of Liberty, ect.

[@irelandssons]

i used to think that 25k yards was a lot, until i seen what them boys in kentucky moved with a 6040 cat shovel 4 d11s a komatsu 1200 and 2 992s and 993k, not to mention the 797 and 785 dump trucks

while manhattan may not be your cup of tee, the methods to excavation here can be mindblowing.

Why don't you go to where they move real amounts of dirt? Like Sukut who averages 150M CYs per year.

[@timothygrell4398]

Pretty curious how they think there moving 25000cy with those machines. Just simple math makes that not correct unless they are working 12hr plus days. Using a 1100 kamstu and a 7.5hr day loading anywhere from 400 to 450 trucks was just shy of 6300cy. 1100 is Bigger machine and loading dirt with cycle times less then 40 seconds. The 1100 is a 2 pass machine. Looks like a fun job but math a little off and just one more point if they are blasting for 35000cy they would be blasting a lot more to keep up with the load out operation.

[@MrThisIsMeToo]

Was hoping I was not alone. Even with simple math a 12hr day would not get them close to 25,000 yards a day. Assuming a 6.8 yard bucket, each machine would have to pass a completely full bucket (highly unlikely) every 35 seconds for 12 hours non-stop. Not happening.

I saw at Con-Expo a few shows ago about the Benefits of making all the crushed material on sit, instead of haul offs, haul in's. They had seminar about that for contractors to start doing that. I wonder like you said, with a big company. Do they make money on that. The contactor must make a profit, bottom line. In my area I noticed that the Pit contactor gets most of the jobs, close to his pit. He still hauls the material to his pit, separate it out, hauls back in the gravel. There must be a pay off for contactor to do this on site.

[@allensandven0]

These videos are starting to become addictive, yea like when you start rearranging your priorities so you can squeeze this 8 min clip in knowing you should have left five minutes before you started watching . Ok maybe most of your viewers have more self discipline. On a lighter note : what is the permitting process for crushing on-site and limitations ? I’ve been indirectly involved in the build out of crushing plants of existing permits (grandfathered) and followed the failed attempts of one company’s that was nearly 10 years and over $10 mil before they aborted due too environmental impact cost vs ROI $ became unfavorable or impractical Certain state laws allow mobile or temporary crushing with limited hours and quantities. Farming allows crushing with nearly no restrictions however only for farm use and not commercially available . I assume this site was under the site development permit and required a environmental impact ?
