- How do excavators cross water pipes? Both beginners and experienced operators have different approaches to solving this issue. Let's see how a beginner handles it: they choose to raise the excavator tracks, move halfway, use the bulldozer to lift the remaining half, lift the main arm, and lower the front. This allows the excavator to cross halfway. Then, they lift the main arm again and turn around.Watch To Learn More.

A real construction worker just drives over it.
Are they construction workers or trespassers lmao

Fired.

Move the pipe? Would be quicker
@@leeroyc4148this is in case the water pipe is already installed and cannot be moved
@@kaizeremperaiga1807nah it would never be installed like that and even if something was installed like that and you couldn’t drive over it they would make a ramp over it or have you go around which usually takes a similar amount of time on most projects and has no risk
@@nathon1942or you just crush it. That’s the plumbers problem. Not the guy driving the mini ex
Veteran operator here, a veteran won’t cross the pipe like that.
The risk of damaging the pipe with this manoeuvre is to high, just put piles of sand on both sides of the pipe a little higher than the pipe itself and drive over the piles.
Thank you. It was also very sloppy. The site super or boss would be losing his mind upon seeing such an inexperiened operator trying to pull a manouver like that. Anything bigger than what looks to be a 4" pipe and he would have crushed it.
I'm glad you said this lol I was thinking to myself, "I've only ever seen them throw sand over the pipe" 😂
I would be pissed if I saw someone put all that weight on the side of one track and try swiveling. No way thats a "veteran"
Thank you. Came here to say exactly this. My ganger would tear me a new one if he saw me doing any of this breakdance shit on site.
Just pull the pipe out of the way.
Make sure to always spin back the same way to not to unscrew the cab from the wheels
Wheels... really?
@@OctaApeyep, big long non-circular wheels, as standard
@@OctaApethey normally have 30 rotations before they unscrew so you need to keep track on that or ull be in the mud

as a plumber, I can confirm
Driver here. We just use the skidsteer to add dirt over anything soft or sensitive and cross over
Why? When both these methods take a minute or two. Why take all that time and take the skid steer away from what it was doing? Are you not skilled enough? Especially if that pipe isn't gonna be buried for a week or so.
@@rhull3939now do that maneuver 100x a day & tell me how long it takes lol a pile of sand on either side is faster & smarter overall IMO
The skids aren't slow just zoom by and toss and dirt over it and now everyone steps on it without a problem.
I thought they were going to say "the experienced driver drives around it"
That's what I would have done. Faster, too!
Just drive over it, don’t worry, your tracks are stronger than the pipe
Remember to fix the pipe.
I think the point is to not break the pipes...
@@someone3195 then they really shouldnt have put them down where im driving, should they?
You crush it and give us honest men another week of guaranteed work

You're literally asking them to be negligent and destroy property when unnecessary to force the owner to pay more than needed for unnecessary work.

Excavator learning to cross pipe like a toddler.. 😅😅😅
Wrong.
The real answer is to call the guy standing close by.
Asking him, « why the fuck is it in the way »
Get the answer: I don’t know!
You: Go get the answer then!
Then wait 45 mins while smoking cigarettes, doings ‘’inspections’’ on the excavator.
Supervisor get there.
« Welp it shouldn’t be there, must be another team »
Don’t worry boss I’ll wait, we wouldn’t want to make a mistake right?!
You right.
But after lunch.
2h30 after first encounter with so called pipe.
Wait another 45 mins.
Boss come by.
« What you waiting for »
« They don’t know if the pipe is important »
Boss start cursing. Walk away
10 min later
Come back with the 5 supervisors and 5 workers.
« This was laying for sometime now, don’t let object lays around for nothing »
Problem solved. It was just laying around.
But hey, it’s not my job nor my responsibility.
If it’s important then I wouldn’t ‘’risk’’ it
Then do excavation job for 1 to 2 hours.
Day end
Ha, that’s a pretty dishonest way to make money, but hey, you’ve got a point there
@@EagleEyeGuyif the pipe was important and it was damaged by you without any knowledge or you damaged the escavator due to "your inventive" driving, you'd be fired, the other way you get paid and it becomes the pipe guys problem.
Also. The drivers reason for trying to go that way was to go to the toilet (which he did while waiting for the answer in the first 5mins.

Imagine doing this in a job site? Everyone staring at you wondering wtf your doing. Then the pipe guy says dont fucking do that again.
I’m a mechanic, never been on a construction site… this looked so ridiculous it was setting off BS alarms right away hahahah This is some last resort stuff
@@tiko4621this type of scenario happens more often than you’d think. Rarely would it actually be an pvc pipe run above ground like that but sometimes there could be something like that temporarily being used. More often it’s a curb or form boards I find myself needing to hop over.
So what’s the actual way of doing it?
@@muhilan8540 you go around, thay is an unrealistic situation. If you're having to do something stupid like that then you should look at your job site management.
@@austinjorden6663that shit isn’t that heavy, just have the pipe moved, not like either of those methods would work for a pile of pipes. 2 guys could easily move that pipe & put it back where it was once you’ve passed in like less than a minute total

Most mini excavators have it.
@@domino4843he’s joking, ur talking about a dozer blade, the guy said bulldozer which is an entire machine
Excadozers... Designed by the Dozers in Fraggle Rock. Superb bits of kit if building with transparent drinking straws.
I was honestly expected the experienced one to just drive around
😂😂😂
He wasn't describing how would someone move over a short length of empty pvc thrown on the ground, the theoretical water pipe he talks about is likely a long pipe that is actually either in use or long enough that its not just 15 feet from the end of it and presumably he used a short random piece of pipe for the demonstration rather than deliberately risking damage to an in use pipe for a short video
@@Scott_Awas wondering, thanks Scott!
Yep, you fuck up with the fancy methods and it’s your head. Not worth it.
@@Epicknuckle1 DAYUM>>>>> I'm dying laughing at this!!
Classic... *paper vs reality still stumps the many!*
personally I'd bury the pipe in dirt for the support of the machine if there was no way around (worst case), but 1st option is alternate route around the exposed pipe *that would be a much bigger problem in the first place*.... WOW!!! But what do I know... I'm just an average Joe.
Remember, you only get 15 counter clockwise rotations before the cab and arm section come of the track section
sure 😅
That's strange. It's 15 clockwise rotations here.
Must be different on different sides of the pond.
@@Xenoray1 its a joke genius
I super wish this joke doesnt get too known so new operators can continue to be trolled by this
@@lyntonfleming Depends on the hemisphere you're in!
Nah they'd just yell at the apprentice to drag it out of the way, or drive around it themselves
Mr. George hired the right guy😅
Meanwhile the other day I saw a guy in a forklift trying to get a box that was too heavy down from a truck. When he couldn't (the forklift tilted forwards), he tried a couple more times by placing the forklift FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY. The worst part is that there were 2 other workers helping him, and by the looks of it they too thought that was the best move. I guess they did know about leverage, but understood it backwards? Some people are crazy stupid.
A little knowledge can be dangerous haha
They dont sound certified
I've had a few times where I found out the hard way the load on the truck was heavier than I was told. I feel the back of the rig lifting and I cant get any closer to the load I just abort and tell em they gota pull around to the highbay and use the crane.
was kind of funny the one 300lb driver that offered to set on the back of the forklift to see if it would be enough to unload. I told him no I'm not getting fired and having a negligent homicide charge on my record to save you 15 minutes.
I mean whoever learned basics middle school physics wouldn't exactly be the kind usually driving forklift. Like not to demean folklift drivers or anything just that those kind of people prefer air conditioned office jobs..
But that said.... I'm an engineer with masters and such, and sometimes I too have dumb moments.
Torque concept goes out of the window
"But why did the excavator cross water pipe?"
"To get to the other side."
I hate you 😭😭 - I was reading very seriously.
Its just for example
When I was a kid I had an obsession with construction vehicles. Out of all of them the excavator was my favorite.
This is how Tom tries to go across Spike, without waking him up.😂
"And the on sight foreman-"
**Just drives straight over the pipe**
As trucker, I wish I could do this when traffic gets piled up😂😂
Both of those were awesome lol
Clearly, I see your point.
As a non trucker, I wish y'all keep your asses out of fast lane so traffic could move in first place.
Excavator: Moving
Pipe: DO FLIP!
Second way seems like a good way to slip a track....
hell yeah. The large track-hoes can't be flung around. They just aren't built for acrobatics.
It's ok, he's experienced so he is good at putting them back on too
I thought that too
If your tracks are slipping off then they are way too loose
@@agentdopkantNot a proper site unless you have 25% more hours in repair than normal.
I've been a heavy equipment mechanic for a few years and I just now found out the excavators have bulldozers attached to them 🤯
Lol look at all the ridiculous comments on this video. They must run the bigger machines that don't have a bulldozer
Smaller ones I think
Same as to say you're not a good mechanic.
Not all of them have it. Some have a claw like arms so scratch and loosen hard surfaces
@@Jart-qe3om I don't think excavators have a dozer... or a bull. Maybe they got a plow idk 🤷♂️
The ultra legend pro max Excavator just picks up the pipe and puts it aside🗿
I bet the repair shop loves these guys.
i feel like taking 45 seconds to go around is the the clear answer here
Or perhaps if it cannot be bypassed, maybe make some bridge over it if you don't want to destroy it? Some of these stunts seem to be in serious risk of flipping the excavators which is probably much more expensive to repair than to repair the pipe.
Most experienced operators drive around
That was my thought but what do I know, I drive a car.
Remember, you can only turn around 16 times before it unscrew itself.
That's some serious skill
Works both ways. But that doesn't mean both ways work best.
Nah they just drive over it because " why the fuck they put it in my way"
Careful. If you twist too many times you’ll unscrew the excavator 😂
That was the exact test my company gave new operators who claimed to have experience. 30% passed, the ones who failed were usually offered a position for laborer pay.
This is a solution to a problem no one has ever had, ever. In the history of everything.
Exactly and I work for a huge rural water department.
No one in their right mind would do either of these over an installed pipe.
I’ve had to do this more times than I can count. I think everyone is missing the point of the demonstration and is getting stuck on the idea of a pvc pipe being on the ground.
It's only a matter of time until we create giant Gundam war mechs.
And old construction guys will be the pilots.
Odd, I always thought the best anime mech pilots were middle schoolers who just happen to be naturals at it.
I said that as a kid back in the eighties too, lol. Still waiting...
Ok probably way too nerdy for the obvious jokes, but the mechs in Gundam (mobile suits) are technically based on an industrial design. Originally they were exoskeleton space suits meant for 0g construction and maintenance of space colonies, with the very first models being called balls due to them being spherical pods that were later refined into the humanoid design for better manipulation and maneuvering. The weaponisation of them was due to the faction that created them being formed out of colonies who didn't have as much readily available infrastructure to build traditional ships or tanks and therefore adapted the industrial mechs by outfitting them with armour and scaled up weaponry.
As for the middle schooler thing, at least for gundam, it isn't that they're the best option, generally they're the only option, either kids forced into the situation by circumstance, child soldiers who honestly either aren't much more than more bodies for the grinder where the mech is more valuable than their lives, or they're veterans by the point they're sitting in that cockpit cause they've been forced to fight from the day they could walk... Or in the case of the original teenager pilot Amaru, he was arguably actually the best option as his father designed the Gundam and he was regularly helping test the systems meaning it was keyed to his specific tuning settings when shit hit the fan, and with him being the only surviving member of the RnD team there really wasn't anyone else to take his place. Aside from that the only other detail that matters is new types which can be summed up as generationally increasing population of people with enhanced mental faculties and due to the time frame most new types of the current generation would only be teenagers meaning they end up falling into the conscription category.
@@rexex345Funny because if the Gundam gets damaged they can still salvage it and use it's parts to make a new one like they did in Wing
Because Leo's and GMs kinda just explode with a single beam lol
@@ls0l4ce Gundam actually has different universes, so the explanations differ between them , in the main timeline for example there's only really 1 Gundam at first because it's a prototype, but generally for all universes the same is true that they're generally treated with or made with something called lunar titanium, an alloy that is resistant to high energy impacts and radiation while being more lightweight than the normal titanium or steel alloys you might see otherwise... It's worth mentioning some things:
- the use of lunar titanium which is nicknamed Gundanium, the Gundams are initially named after the alloy in the original/ main Universal Century timeline, and unless otherwise stated are in others (like Wing).
- Gundanium is prohibitively expensive for mass use, which generally results in Gundam being more Bespoke designs to give their pilots as much edge as possible given their rarity
- Gundams are generally built from scratch with the intent to function in either an twin atmosphere and 0g environment which also means that they usually require either special training, settings or software to function often still being horrendously hard to use, eg in wing, an average mobile suit will need to exert G forces that can and probably will kill the pilot to keep up, and the Gundam pilots in that were trained from very young specifically to handle that strain coupled with specialized dampening equipment, on the other hand, the Gundams in Iron Blooded Orphans or Witch from Mercury don't have special materials but instead have cybernetic interfaces that can, probably will and in the case of the Aerial have multiple times killed the pilots.
- beam/particle weaponry is not lightweight, to put it into perspective, a beam cannon you might see in wing or UC for example started as battleship mounted weapons that use a tiny physical projectile to lead a bolt of high yield energy that will then cause the target to tear itself apart at an atomic level, Gundanium's primary advantage is that it is mailable and energy durable enough to reflect, refract, or otherwise disperse the energy blow, same with beam sabers, that being said, they're still plasma and beam thus a prolonged enough beam will still cut through a Gundam just the same.
- these things aren't running on fuel, Mobile suits in early UC use nuclear reactors that were known to go critical when even mildly damaged, later gen MS's use less volatile fusion reactors, many MS's built on earth are designed with fuel as the power sources, Gundams are generally either fusion, or fusion+solar/solar radiation powered, this honestly is often the biggest thing that puts them ahead, the difference between a Gundam and an MS and often an MS vs a tank is the difference between an F4, an F35 and an A10. The reason MS' took over in any Gundam timeline was generally either force projection, versatility, or just the fact that even if your Abrams has a lower profile, it doesn't matter much when the target can still see you, is using thrusters to put pace you on land or just fly over you, can pick you up and/or choose between snapping you like a twig or making you flatter, or just turning you and the surrounding cover into a 12000°crater. That last part is the biggest thing, the oldest model in Gundam's catalogue, the Zaku, had a general land speed comparable to a modern tank, but more packed armor more parts of it that could be hit without neutralizing it, could maintain hovering status if need be, and had what was essentially an M240 for a standard rifle shooting 100-120mm shells at roughly 280 RPM. And to bring it back to OP post, that was the old construction mech retrofitted for war. Later models were on par with fighter jets while on the ground with ammunition meant specifically to make that tank over there, it's friends and the general area around them all explode.
Also if anyone is wondering why you've heard of wing but not UC if that's the main continuity, it's cause Gundam as a franchise was made by people who grew up in a post nuke Japan, and the original was as far as is known to date the first animated drama with Gundam's themselves being allegories for Nukes. Western, or more specifically American localisers couldn't make it kid friendly enough for TV especially past a point where it started really touching on stuff that resonated with Vietnam war vets and PTSD and had been cancelled due to (potentially fudged) poor viewership ratings in Japan. It's rise to cultural relevance happened afterwards with older crowds getting attached to the mature themes and story telling. It wouldn't be until the 90s with Wing that it would get a proper localisation as said localisers felt it would be easier for audiences to get into the fresh setting rather than the now extended UC timeline... Side note, if you want to watch the UC stuff, the whole thing was turned into a fantastic movie series, has several stand alone mini series diving into both various skirmishes and battles of the 1 Year War, as well as POVs of grunts and civilians from both sides, additionally there is a fantastic movie series that dives into the backstory of the main antagonist of the timeline, and the political machinations that would lead to the war, finally is Unicorn, an anniversary mini-series that is a great capstone and relavent enough that its titular Gundam shares a statue in Tokyo with the OG. Oh and Sunrise has gone from being a small studio that barely has a budget to now basically having a budget that would make a Disney movie look poor, so this stuff is all realized in all the detail you could hope for to go with the trauma you will experience.
The guys on my site: "hey man we need you to order another stick of pipe, this ones no good"
I was expecting the experienced operator to use the edge of the bucket to just slide the pipe away, but that was way cooler, lol
Personally I'd just go around😂😂😂
This… 100%
My dad’s an operator. If he can’t move it he’s running it over. Not his fault materials are on site where he needs to go. That’s his take anyway he’s always been like a bull at a gate though hahaha
Remember 17 rotations left and you'll unscrew the cab

And a legendary operator just moves the pipe aside and continues on.

For the second one, you gotta rotate both tracks opposite to each other or damages the track
will I ever ride an excavator? No
did I watch the entire video? Yes
Did you learn anything? Lol
The entire video was less than 60 seconds long. It's incredible that this is now considered a feat of concentration
“Bulldozer”? It’s a blade.
My thoughts exactly
And they called the boom a main arm and the stick an elbow.
New operator - "Oh no, i broke that pipe!"
Veteran operator - "Fuck that pipe!"
I half expected the professional to just gently push the pipe to the side lol
i def thought he second guy was just gonna move the water pipe
The insane thing to me is that excavators can be driven like this for decades and still function. The amount of abuse that operators put on the excavator's structure is insane. I mean, props to them for knowing their machine's limits, too.
Takes about a month to learn. Thanks for your service
Over the course of several YT videos i have come to the conclusion that excavators are AWESOME
Legends drives strait over it 😂
Holy crap dude. That's a veteran alright
😮😮 that driver's skill is superbly incredible!!! A god-like...😱👏🏼🤘🏼💯🇮🇳❤️
Bruh, that last excavator just leaped over that pipe like a fking human😂
i belive 1st method is more useful, in narrow path
All excavators should have a front blade, they not only are useful for stuff like this but good for site cleanup and increased stability
Little ones sure. But the larger ones are very stable, and the blade can get in the way due to the machine geometry.
And I feel like both of you have zero excavator experience the blade is the "front" blade smdh
“Eh, they can just replace this section” *drives over*
Thanks for the commentary, I wouldn’t have understood what was going on without it
Contracted operator: drives over it. Maybe yells to burry the pipe if they don't want it crushed, maybe not.
Staff operator: Drives around.
I would just get out and move that pipe away and drive 😂
You stupid?
The excavator fr just stepped over it
Words cannot express how fun that looks.
Or you can just drive over it and have to fix it later like a normal construction crew 🙄
I dont have this job but i'd just move the pipe.
Physics is amazing. I wish I was smart enough to pursue further education in Physics.
Pro excavator: gets out and moves the pipe.
"Hello Mr. George...."
And somebody that actually knew what they were doing would just drive around the end of the pipe.
Third option: The driver goes down the excavator, push the pipe to the left, get back to the excavator and move it forward
I 100% expected him to crush the pipe and move on with his day lol.
They walk it over! I didn’t realize they could do that but physics makes it work.
LEGENDS: Lift the pipe
Careful, you’ve only got 13 full turns before it unscrews itself
First one is actually really creative
"the bulldozer". The colloquial term here is "blade". A bulldozer is a tractor, while the tool is called the blade. The edge of the tool is called the cutting machine edge.
Now we need excavator parkour.
I've seen experienced operators avoid unnecessary risks whenever possible
Thanks for uploading part 1..
Thanks for the information..
Thanks for those likes 😊
I was definitely expecting the experienced guy to just run over it. 😂
Now we need it in asphalt 8 💀
My grandpa worked on backhoes and excavator and when I lived with him I helped him I helped him work outside a lot and it was incredible to see what he could do with that backhoe.
Remember, you are allowed only 16 turns in one direction until the assembly just unscrews out.
Why does he sound like the-
“Welcome back to cartel tictok-“
Make sure to put blinker fluid in it or else you’ll unscrew it
We always laid the pipe in a trench or had it off to a side till we were ready to put it in a trench.
I’m just impressed as fuck the dozer can lift and support the entire unit
I 100% expected the "Vet" to just steamroll the pipe xD
Make sure you rotate again on the opposite side so you dont unscrew it
I was pretty confident the pro was just going to drive over it
😂😂😂 I actually learned that maneuver on accident 😂😂😂 and the old timer was very impressed until i told him it was an accident
