Driving Steel Sheets for Seawall

[@billsparks5236]

OMG,! What a Mickey Mouse operation!! I was a pile driver operator for nearly 20 years and I could have put down half a dozen sheets by this time

[@AllAccessConstruction]

Hey you gotta start somewhere.. Ijs

[@johnhall3393]

WITH ONE EYE SHUT NO DOUBT, GLAD I ANT PAYING THEM.

[@peterwill3699]

What do you want they are ilegalls.

[@bcoleman8917]

and at 2:50 - the guys wrist is laying on the top of the piling and 6 inches beneath the boom attachment! one bump of a control lever and that hand would be pinched off.

[@nicolasmajestral9954]

HAHAHAHAHA you are right..

[@neillpotts6019]

The British Labour Party would be proud of this video. Never seen such a bunch of Nicky Mouse works in my life!

[@grantparnes]

RE-name video to watching paint dry.....................and then I read the other comments and 100% of you said it before I did. I need a nap after watching this. Brutal

[@bootsmclaughlin1438]

Must be gettin paid by the hour

[@ronaldcarson4360]

I remember my first day on the job too.

[@SG-uh6sw]

Did the excavator complete the job ? All that welding while connected to the sheet pile not good for the computer

[@gregoryclark2692]

every aspect of this operation is WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!! Fire that entire crew before someone gets killed or mamed!!!!!!!

[@josephdonahee6741]

Anybody know what size machine and plate packer to use driving in clay?

[@tommcadam9897]

Got to be a union job.

[@hudsonhawk0016]

Wrong scab, as an Operating Engineer, I work with Dockbuilders daily, and these clowns are not dockies. I can guarantee you somebody got seriously injured before this job was done.

[@digger105337]

No, I was a union member IUOE. This has municipal job writing all over it!🤣 Hudsonhawks got it right. People don't know real Union workers, they think municipal employees are what union looks like. WRONG!

[@kmb1949]

A good way to lose a hand. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. They make an auto release to disconnect from the pile.

[@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006]

Driver had his hand on the stick ready to do the amputation the second the shackles were off

[@davidpiotrowski7906]

Gloves ??

[@fishawk90]

Can these be use to build a dock by the ocean?

[@simonchant761]

I'd be embarrassed to show this video

[@eamonnmcandrew7800]

It's a blinder haha No harness anywhere love the ladder No hi vi maybe a hand rail somewhere perhaps but apart from all of that h and s aspect its excruciating to watch So slow and haphazard mind you I suppose its cheap until it goes wrong

[@mrdeplorable6262]

"Driving Steel Sheets for Seawall", watching the slowest job ever, got to 3:59 no driving yet.

[@BinoDK]

9:07 hammer time slower than slow

[@Fujifilmable]

29/01/2020 have they finished the job yet?

[@johnmoore8016]

Still wondering what is going on here.

[@georgesingh826]

Is that steel sheet? Or recycle milk tin?, In what country are they doing that?

[@digger105337]

So cute! Lil baby sheet piles.

[@Laguna2013]

Can you share a link of the real deal stuff like they have around Lake Michigan in Chicago? I don't know where to begin looking I need this at my home thanks

[@bigredc222]

They couldn't spring for a real ladder?

[@pynetripp9323]

how is it that now a plate compactor is an accepted method for pile driving? What a joke.

[@chriscartwrightnewideas]

I don't know and I agree

[@donatocamacho1731]

Pintura impresionista

[@rex69832]

It's not a plate compacter although a plate compacter may achieve the same ends. It is a purpose-built vibrating mechanism used to drive piles more quickly. First time I saw it in action I couldn't believe it. They were using it to drive huge I-beams into frozen ground. Like a hot knife through butter. Amazing!

[@danielroe845]

It's quite common in Holland. But they run counter rotating eccentric vibrators, essentially the same internals as a proper piling hammer but more interchangeable for different piling. Admittedly, this isn't that. That's just a compactor plate contrary to what another comment says. Absolute shit show

[@VictorMiranda-yt6xe]

Best GOLDBRICKS working for the government. I want those slowpokes to go get my funeral, so it will never come and I will live forever.

[@robertgregory2618]

I wonder if their hearing got blown out. Not enough protection, especially the way they wore the ear muffs. Where was OSHA on this job, all kinds of unsafe stuff done here.

[@BRI33NOR]

If it was my job to fasten the sheets to the crane thingy, I would want to know the operator had his hands and feet well clear of the controls. Fingers !!!.

[@kaisonduncan7151]

you probably dont give a damn but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me

[@frankaldo481]

@Kaison Duncan Instablaster :)

[@kaisonduncan7151]

@Frank Aldo thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@kaisonduncan7151]

@Frank Aldo it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much you really help me out :D

[@frankaldo481]

@Kaison Duncan you are welcome :)

[@gregoryclark2692]

wtf? must be a "how not to do" video

[@hotdogger420]

These are all volunteers at a yacht club...no rush

[@Eagles0690]

What keeps it from rusting out in 3 years

[@dennisphoenix1]

It's probably corten steel

[@mckeehan1943]

It's got to be Union workers or city workers 3 men was all they needed for this job

[@shopshop-lx9hj]

plus a couple of management type guys.

[@JungleYT]

Somebody's gotta hold the clipboard and keep track of the Breaks!

[@bigredc222]

If it was a union job they would at least have a real ladder. Is that ladder even OSHA approved?

[@williamcantalamessa5231]

That is not a sheet pile hammer ! That's for tamping ground, ya its working.

[@stewartmcmanus3991]

I was about to say everything underneath but it's all been said, I've never seen such a lot of buggerising about in my life !!!

[@jonathanwratten892]

is that a modified vibro plate for asphalt?

[@simonchant761]

Yes it is

[@timmayer8723]

Fast enough for government work.

[@chpatriot9878]

also so einer "Rentner-Truppe " zu zuschauen, ist so was von schlaffördernd! Gute Naaaacht! Uahh!

[@funkeb.1512]

ja veraltetes ,Zeitaufwendiges System!! Teure Baustelle,gut für die Firma!!

[@lazarussalazar6802]

Is that omega type sheet pile?

[@papagigo1]

It's been 9 years, I bet they haven't finished !!!!

[@dwightarnold6980]

Did this back in the Early 70,s on The Francis Scott Key Bridge But on Alot Bigger Scale , But With Much Bigger Equipment ,

[@Handleyman]

Hammering starts at 9:08.

[@rexhavoc2982]

Simon is right. this could be a WTF is wrong with this, classroom discussion.

[@suyesuay9813]

In general the work very slow these guys are well experienced plus the machine.

[@jerryrolen9639]

Must be paid by the hour.

[@hanslund2651]

Working method looks as from the past !

[@davidbowen4848]

Ever herd the saying It’s like watching paint dry lol

[@brianmccusker3852]

area code 416 is in Canada. So now ya know, eh.

[@feliciajohnson6350]

Cool page🔝

[@robertgregory2618]

Get a decent ladder already. Good way to loose a hand, then got a kick out of that guy waving up and down with his hand, like it wasn't obvious the driver guy couldn't see what was going on.

[@JungleYT]

Talk about *milking* a F*cking job! No wonder these projects cost so damned much... Whatta ya know, *"It's "Break Time!"*

[@sprucesoldier]

Definitely paid by the hour here boys...😳

[@thomasgross8525]

Union job

[@davidpiotrowski7906]

You know if the personal was trained in safety ,and working smarter NOT harder ,Work would be fun and awarding ??

[@kevinthomas4720]

when its 20 degrees and your all working for free (except the operator) who cares how fast it s going as long as no gets hurt

[@davidpiotrowski7906]

ladder unsafe

[@lathamarea1437]

Like watching a Stooges movie..

[@paulbeesley6837]

Those were the days. Welding without an air fed welding mask.

[@pritambaliarsingh6777]

any one having contact no of this piling group???

[@davesmith2733]

Only 5miles to go!

[@russellwright5594]

Clearly paid by the hour

[@paddyokeeffe2590]

6 kerry. Gaa. To. Day

[@grahamhale8844]

like watching paint dry,

[@nickbeam5432]

I bet there on there 5th piece right about now.

[@stephenmead8183]

Ever heard of a hook rather than a shackle !

[@SH-rm4gw]

amateur hour

[@loganyoung642]

OSHA has left the chat.

[@michaela.660]

Man !!!! What a cluster F--- .

[@g.nethajibose2214]

Wow good

[@noelanoshea5748]

Never seen anything like it in my life

[@drelliott2833]

Running a bolt and nut on every lift??? NEWS FLASH>> Leave a chain connected to the lift. Cut a T slot in the top of the towers then simply run the chain in the T slot ! NO bolts washers and "NUTS" I watched it for 5 min. and could recommend all kinds of things that would speed up this construction. Cut at least 75% of the time needed. Unbelievable waste of time doing it like they are. One tower at a time??? How about pre built sections!!!!

[@jcmate1692]

Are all these guys new to this type of work i think not they must be contractors getting paid by the hour. Thank our lucky stars they never built the empire state building because king kong would have been dead decades before these blokes built it no wonder the countries in a mess and yep it only took just over 400 days to build the empire state building

[@dennyhawk9893]

This is a joke right!

[@robertambrose5348]

With a bigger trackhoe you can smash them down

[@joebonola7458]

Good thing they have that signalman, or the operator MAY not have known what to do.

[@대명건설기계조합]

fighting I love u

[@brian.7966]

outcome the experts.,

[@jameslindley924]

You dont have Mens hands in a Trap Zone EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@darylecollier8574]

I don't know why they using a system like that. It's slow , labour intensive and primitive. I work for meso solutions. Have a look on KZbin how we instal sheets.

[@JW-rg6rg]

I've seen 100ft get driven faster. New company? 🤷

[@lowtech5530]

Obviously they know nothing about driving sheet piling.

[@carlrichardson1106]

Low Tech My thoughts exactly!

[@cpcattin]

Cofferdam.

[@johnbaudino2535]

And these guys are painful to watch

[@kcz0888]

チャッキング　無しかよ　鋼矢板の立ち起しセリの調整無いとは恐れ入る・・　やっぱりその辺の細かさは日本人だけかな？ でも、せったり　倒れたら　鋼矢板は入らなくなるよね

[@СержОвсов-э7н]

За это время можно заколотить штук пять.

[@brotus11]

5 stooges in action. Chinese boys would have that whole shit done by noon. What is wrong with this country?

[@brotus11]

also like the ladder, got that from your mom's house?

[@MrBrokefarmer]

Holy Shit that's old ,slow, and not the right setup. Feel sorry for the guys. If at least they had a better ,easier connection to the modified vibrator plate. Poor buggers. Can't do fast work if you don't have the iron.

[@kennethhuff7158]

Slow work , job security.

[@thankswillie]

painfull,looked like arm in-between sheet and hammer,,.unnecessary

[@kcimages5157]

worst pile driving crew in history .

[@bill0118]

What a pity...

[@3coolme]

These guys belong to the Union, Paid too high for the hours they work. Bloody pathetic work process and output. And obviously unskilled labourers.

[@roblockwood116]

Looks like amateur hour.

[@wood2hoz4]

WTF

[@zeus240658]

azz.....manica di imbranati

[@rogerwoodland2587]

there doing a good job.
