Underground Utilities! Laying pipe in the ground!

[@ChrisCosbylaberynth1]

I read your comment for the last guy you replied to. I agree with the cat on the end. I can't seem to find utility bids but I see people doing them all over town any tips on where to find these bid lists ?

We usually get the utilities due to doing the site an road work .... sometimes we will get non related utilities but not as often as when we do all the other development work ..... Customers seem to like the "one call they do it all" companies ..... I started this business with the mindset that i would do anything and everything to make it ..... I think what helps also is we have been operating for almost 17 years .... people know us and have seen us .... and typically know someone we have done work for ..... hope this helps my friend

Very welcome my friend .... I dont put out many videos here on the tube ..... mostly make TikToks now Check us out at "KD Excavation... We are also on facebook at KD Excavation and Dirtworks Co. located in Salt Rock WV " ..... If you mean tips for business as a whole? Dont buy too much at once .... one piece at a time and buy it only when you are renting one enough to pay the payments all year .... here winter is hard we dont do much of anything January and especially February .... Bid jobs in the middle .... try to out do your competition on quality of work not price ..... we get most of our work cause we put out the best product .... cant get both .... quality and cheap aint on the same shelf! Stay away from anyone who tries to argue you down on price .... just dont even bid it .... cause if they start the process out that way they end it that way .... they are hard to get ya money out of ...... Now if ya mean installing utilities .... Keep ya ditches flat and smooth as possible .... keep the dirt back away from the edges of your trench .... 12'' of separation between each utility .... keep trench water out of ya pipes .... when i install stick pipe i keep a cap or plug with me so dirt and water dont get in .... keeps rocks off your pipes they can rub and pinch and cause issues .... Shovel ya some dirt on your pipes every so often to keep them from moving while ya backfill .....
