I talk about how we decide how a trench is dug. Do I finally get to eat my burrito?

Love those V buckets. It's a great way to keep the pipe layers safe.

The boys in the trench would need SCUBA gear if you tried that down here where I live. Water table is only 7 feet deep here. And out where my parents live I think its only 3-4 feet deep.

Given that Preston Pipelines and Ernest E. Pestana were based in basically the same neighborhood, I'm wondering if Preston picked up any of Ernie's people when he finally closed up his underground business. Mr. Pestana passed away in 2009.

That was before I started the channel. I only had 1 battery and a 32gb card. the ditch had a 45* turn and was only 5 feet deep at the bottom of the slope.

The fact that you said watch for a color change in the soil is important. We just dug 400' of soil to put 4 4" sch40 pipie for cable. What is not normal is seeing a black coal slag coal layer left from steam engines then sand above that then 3/4" stone on top of that. We did see some wood on top of we think concrete electrical duct (750 DC). We didn't dig to find out we were low enough. Thanks for your info. We put tape above most times when we direct bury cables. But now we use pvc for safety and pulling.

We tape all our lines as well.

@@TheLeverMonkey for direct burial we do too. But the tape is conductive and unsafe when you have as third rail. We use plastic caution tape. We did that for a dig out east with a ditch witch.

I have enjoyed your videos. Scale is hard to tell. How deep are you digging? Also, It would be interesting to see how much rock they are separating with tthe Skully(?) bucket. It doesn't look like you are encountering much that is 6" plus.

@TheLeverMonkey 3 жыл бұрын

About 19-20 feet deep. This was the east side of the job the west had much larger rock.

Is there a safety concern in leaving that much open trench? It seems more susceptible to cave in. Why not backfill closer to the work area?

@TheLeverMonkey 3 жыл бұрын

It is normal for us to leave 500 feet open at a time. On bigger jobs we run a three crew system trenching, pipe laying, and backfill crew. Each crew works at there speed, each trying to catch the other. we make a game of it.
