Your line of work is awesome. I was designing something in my mind to help move this slush&mud more efficiently, but then again you would need a whole fleet of dump trucks. you could feed them much faster than they could haul it away. All that tracking just worsens the problem. Here's my idea. (pretty sure its been done) but why not a horizontal mud pump with a big funnel on the top? A horizontal auger if you will. It too is on tracks with a 360-degree rotation. The output could use a 24 to 36" reinforced high-pressure hose with quick couplings. hey, just daydreaming up ideas. Cheers from the swamps of Louisiana.

I took the week off work to come back to southwest Georgia to fish and get the house here ready for winter. Michael had other plans for me....I learned a valuable lesson. When they say a cat 4 storm is coming get the hell out. I never thought I'd say this but about 5 hrs ago I was scared shitless!!!. Drove in rain all the way back to bham so that I could have power and of course to watch Chris work!

has anybody ever created a conveyor belt device that uses Flotation tires and 2 or 3 of them will stack over each other to be delivered on a low boy or drop tail trailer.. it could use wheel tractor hydraulic drive front spindles. so it could be easily steered .. this would allow you to stretch it out and dump the excavator buckets into the end that get augered on at a steady amount and run on the belts to the next sections.. saving the need to move the same pile several times. retractable wheels like on a super scooper water dropping plane with ski's to support it incase it needs to be pulled along the surface. might have a flat bottom under the ends also.

I have seen something like that as an experiment. But it's not practical in huge scale, you ne something to move it from time to time and there time goes. and time is money now a day.But your right when working it would be a lot faster transporting the mud to the pile.
