Installing Concrete Storm Pipe (GoPro)

Hey guys, this is not my usual content but if you love anything to do with the outdoors you should hit the subscribe button. In a few weeks I'll be finished work for the season and back working on my log cabin and documenting it all right here on the channel... Thanks in advance and have a great week...

[@Patrick-fp2jz]

Nice video liked the use of gopro. Im a groundwork foreman in the UK. If i let my lads be inside a section with a machine pushing it i would be in more hot water then you could ever imagine!

[@evanpenny348]

Why?

[@ericwiernik4193]

I thought the same thing. If that was a weak piece of pipe it could have killed that guy. I don't think it was very smart at all

[@giantrobot5804]

Aye, there's being in the trench when you send her home but getting in the pipe to get the level? No chance, that wasn't big or clever.

Been laying concrete pipes for 35 years and this is the first time ive seen a man inside a pipe while machine is pressing it down, utter buffoonery

i was scared for him the whole time, i was glad that his buddy at least moved his hand for him

Oh you've done it before,just joking,reinforced or not that's no good,now I have sat in there while my operator was digging out,if it was big pipe.keep putting it in the ground Boyz that's where it belongs.🤘

CTR bro , just some friendly advice, we have too much deaths due to incompetence, you don’t have to do anything that’ll put you at risk when there’s tools meant for the Job. Just use a laser. Don’t ever expect the RCP to be strong enough that the machine won’t smash it while your in there.

[@jojillo]

We use the laser, but the only thing that doesn't look good, that guy should be outside when the excavator is pushing the pipe. Greetings

[@chasebusta1950]

Joseluis Solorzano lol bro do you see any fabric? I'm a pipe layer, I use a lazer. Also the pipes are t that fragile just say fuck it and push it down to grade without a board. Takes to much time to put in pipe.

[@adrionhemara5696]

And he has no hi vis on its under his jersey lol

[@casesully50]

I wish our pipes had those hitch points. We have to use those damn steel cable chokers that wrap all the way around the pipe. And on the 96 inch storm pipe, its a nightmare getting that giant cable around that gigantic pipe.

[@rabuayya1]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing!

[@rabuayya1]

But what do they do with these hitch points afterwards? Do they like seal them shut with just mortar or a special material?

[@matteric2814]

The lift point near the spigot end is a good idea no need to push the pipe in with the bucket should of just left that chain attached and got his to slew and drag the pipe until its was butted in correctly and do any minor adjustments to line with crowbar

[@matteric2814]

The hitch points are not holes all the way through the pipe could be a lifting lug built into the pipe

Are the joints/seams of these pipes sealed with anything or do they just press into place?

A rubber gasket goes on the spigot before installation

[@ganeshnaik3268]

How much cost

[@oleblue1984]

For the love of God please use a target. Also would be far faster to sit in line like your digging the ditch and lay the pipe that way and leave the bell end of the chain connected while homing the pipe. Then you can press it down and rehome it with out f ing the bell up.

Find what you're passionate about and find a career around that. If you have to work in construction until you can afford to do what you love then just put your head down and work. But always be working toward doing what you love. It will be so much easier to get up in the mornings and you'll live a much happier life.

Shocking video! This is NOT how to lay pipes properly. Note the water in the pipe at 50 sec mark. The point is to drain the water, not hold it!

[@13prevailbushcraft]

🤣🤣🤣 you were quick to point out the water but not the hoses running into the manhole a few meters back. This was after a couple days of rain and the ditch beside me is being pumped into the storm manhole. I have almost flat grade so there is a little running uphill and out my pipe. But its all good, I still cash the big cheques I earn as one of the best in the business...

[@rogeriopenna9014]

Am I the only one who thinks using excavators or backhoes to MOVE the pipes into position quite overkill? I am not talking about this video in particular, but this is standard in construction industry. But specially excavator HOURS are pretty expensive. They should be doing what they were MADE TO DO: excavate. Isn´t there some specialized, cheaper to buy and cheaper to operate machine for doing this job?

[@wailnshred]

If they have another machine, that's more fuel to buy, more maintenance and one more operator to run it.

[@rogeriopenna9014]

@@wailnshred Each machine has a cost/hour that already includes fuel, maintenance, operator, etc Excavators have pretty high $/h cost. A much smaller machine specialized for the job would be cheaper, simply because it would allow the expensive excavator to be used on what excavators are specialized at. Your argument makes no sense. Otherwise you would see an excavator carrying stuff (like cement sacks) from one side to the other of the construction site, and when someone points out that could be done MUCH MORE CHEAPLY in a small electric cart, or even in a wheelbarrow, you would use the same argument about extra operator, more maintenance, more fuel...

[@wailnshred]

@@rogeriopenna9014 You are not following me. More equipment, (even if one of the other operators runs it) means more cost. And another thing. Concrete pipe like in the video is heavy, what smaller machine is going to lift it at the radius they need to set it? It looks like 36 inch (approx. 1 meter) inside diameter pipe. If I remember correctly that would be approximately 525 pounds per foot, 8 foot lengths equals 4200 pounds each. What machine except for an excavator or crane can pick that weight and reach out far enough with it? And then home it up?

[@rogeriopenna9014]

@@wailnshred -more equipment, (even if one of the other operators runs it) means more cost. No. Your cost is higher WHEN you use a HEAVY equipment with a high cost per hour, that could be doing something else it was designed to do, to lift and place pipes. As I said, your argument that more equipment means more cost could be used for anything. "Hey, please, lets use that massive 500 tons crane we are renting for a fortune per day, that should be used to mount these giant steel structures, to actually move these 500kg piles of cement sacks around!!" Time is money. An excavator costs about $50/h. If you have a vehicle that costs $10 a hour to place pipes in place, you allocate the excavator to... EXCAVATE. Let's say the excavator takes 1 hour do dig a 10 meters trench. It takes 30 minutes to lay pipes in that 10 meters trench. For a 100 meters trench, with one excavator, you will spend 10 excavator hours (10 x $50 = $500) plus 5 excavator hours to lay the 100 meters of pipes. ($250). You had a cost of $750. Now let's say you have a much cheaper specialized equipement to lay the pipes. $10 per hour. You spend the same $500 for it to excavate the 100 meters trench. But you spend only $50 (5 hours x $10) to lay the pipes in the same 5 hours. You saved $200 out of $750. And after the excavator finished digging the trench, it could already be moved to another side to excavate something else. "What machine except for an excavator or crane can pick that weight and reach out far enough with it? And then home it up?" well, exactly. I am thinking there should be some sort of mobile grantry type crane, remote controlled, able to lift the pipes (at last pipes the size of the ones in this video), maybe weels on each sides of the trenches, with a side loading mechanism. ps: concrete pipe diameters vs weight (1 meter lenght) 400 mm = 150 kg 500 mm = 240 kg 600 mm = 300 kg 800 mm = 520 kg 1000 mm = 840 kg 1200 mm = 1100 kg So the pipe in this video, which imho looks 80cm (not 1meter) would be 520 kg.

[@rogeriopenna9014]

@@wailnshred Look, I word in a small civil infrastructure company, only 250 employees. We DO use excavators and backhoes for laying pipes.
