I've noticed with a high maxes once you tighten them you smack them with a 8pound hammer and they tighten down more. That's what I always do I haven't had any problems

The problem is, the misalignment of both pipes means at least one of the buried pipes was structurally compromised under soil beyond the excavation site. This was the second band-aid on a hemorrhage.

Would have to agree with you. We under city direction, we did offer a more thorough solution. They went the cost effective route. Needless to say we will be working our thru trying to help with more permanent fixes!🤙 Merry Christmas!

I've been doing water for over 35 years and you would NEVER, EVER replace such a short length of pipe, especially an 18" one. Absolute incompetence!!

Those blue fittings are garbage. 5 hours after a pair were pressurized I watch a gasket slowly swell over 10 minutes and blow.

I wasn’t impressed by any means… being in the contractor side, we normally don’t get outside of the trusty long sleeve much. 🤷‍♂️ that was the city’s repair. In there defense they are a 4 man in the field op, and they cover some ground. Did there best! Thanks for watching! Merry Christmas!🤙

Ya they need to be longer. We use these yellow romac fittings. They got a nice little handle on top even.

Have you guys ever played with the Alpha couplings? They are similar to those blue things but with joint restraint. I know the coupling can hit different pipe diameters. Like if you are emergency repairing ductile to and old steel line. I’d like to get some and try them out, but can’t beat the low cost and reliability of the old long sleeve!

@@rodleypumpkins4174 They did need to be longer. The Hymax fittings are offered in a short and long body configuration. They needed the long body here and probably a thrust block under the fittings. In 18" the only restraint option is the megalug and sleeve. I would say there is another issue under the highway though. That deflection was likely not there when the pipe was laid. So theres probably another issue somewhere.

@@davidhughes8539 very well said. I would bet it wasn’t compacted good and over time leak began which got worse obviously. I’m shocked kind of they thought that fitting would hold that with nothing underneath it too. I wonder what kind of pressure they were dealing with.

Do you fellas often lift with the teeth of bucket ? I’ve seen a 2 dollar keeper fail and tooth come off. That machine has a quick coupler for the bucket correct ? New viewer and now a subscriber. I do this work often and neat to see it from a different perspective

@Sy-Con 22 күн бұрын

That’s a good catch sir! We don’t do it often but we didn’t have an 18” pipe clamp on hand, with most of the local distribution networks being 12” and below. On our machines we have quick connect to drop the bucket, and usually use a Clevis and pipe clamp! Thanks for watching and the comment my guy! Merry Christmas!

Looks to me like the bolster concrete shifted away from the elbow from the water momentum at the 90. I wonder what stress the upstream (away from the highway) line is under? I guess that will keep the Sy-Con team busy next month!

@Sy-Con 23 күн бұрын

We were under direction of the entity sir! We did offer to replace the entire 45-foster application. They went the most cost effective route. We hope this is more permanent fix, but we are in talks of other areas that have been problems since install of the line just 4 years ago by an out of state outfit. Kicker was still there for the 45’s. When the line was installed there wasn’t one placed. City had to pay a contractor to come in and install one. Thanks for watching! Merry Christmas!👊

@@Sy-Con Oh, I wasn't critical of Sy-Con. It's the city engineer I have a problem with. One look at that 1' shift should have had a full line dig upstream. You guys did great.

Did anyone scope the pipeline to see if the pipe was offset further down the line to ensure the offset pipe issue wouldn't develop again?

@Sy-Con 23 күн бұрын

We didn’t sir. That would be up to the city… We did offer a solution to replace the entire fitting situation, but they wanted to go the most cost effective route.
