- On this episode of Project In-Site, one of our utility teams must dig deep in order to lay the sewer line that ties into the Lily Springs subdivision. Our Komatsu 490 must excavate itself a path before trench excavation is even possible. Once the bench site is ready a mixture of man and machine cohesively collaborate to install the 27' deep sanitary sewer.

Nice clean work separating topsoil and the clay! Professional work being done
Shout out for the drone shot coming out of the trench; that was pretty bananas.
Great video , looks like you boy's are killing it out there. Keep it up! 👍
Nice photography.
Nice trench. Great diggers. We have a job in Downingtown PA coming up in April that’s gonna be about this deep
Love reading all experts should have could have just enjoy the video 😂
Really cool setup! If you all ever need rental heavy equipment or to buy new towable generators feel free to reach out!
Why would you pull the box before putting gravel on the pipe .... if the sides fall in before its gravelled up ya fooked
I guess in Texas they dont have Osha
What are you guys doing for compaction in that trench. Nice job. Wish I was there
I'm assuming trimble, because you ain't seeing grade from the cab down there and I don't see a tripod anywhere lol.
Why not get a bigger machine that will dig that deep to begin with?
Only in Texas can you be that backwards. Let's use a excavator to dig down 7 to 10 foot bench instead of using scrapers.Have a Spotter stands next to trench 10 foot deep to lean over and spot will excavator dumps rock cover ontoma pipe to then track back out to get more rock. Unbelievable inefficiency. Could have knock off weeks using proper equipment and excavating a sloped to a bench to be able to cut the trench keeping in mind swing radius instead of a 7 to 10 foot bench.
I’ve made a lot of money doing it this way. It’s plenty efficient.
Overburden became to much and they need to bring in rock trucks aka 40 ton articulating haul trucks to truck it to a stock pile
The pipe layer did not the have excavator on line the pipe closet to the road is almost against the wall plus no plates between manhole an trench u never have a man inside a manhole box when stacking out you always go to trenchbox when lowering barrels that deep.nobody ever chalked the stone around the pipe
They need to bed pipe before moving the box
EXCACTLY SIR
Why? Looks like type A soil. It isn’t going to cave and graveling inside the box can move your pipe when you drag the box.
In trenching the only class A soil is rock excavated by a trencher
@@dalestraw2258Huh? There’s type A B, & C soil in trenching. That’s what determines your benching and sloping. Type A is 3/4:1, Type B 1:1 and you can’t bench Type C, it has to be sloped. Not sure where you came up with rock is the only Type A in trenching. Just because it’s rock doesn’t mean it’s type A either.
What I'm saying is ,is that usually a company no matter rock or not will not recognize type A soil whether OSHA says it or not if there is other utilities in nearby ground it makes it C soil. Whether it's A , B . Is what I m saying large Companies will say class everything C !
The komatsu excavators worth compared to cat ?
True to the touch, they react like a mini, flow wise. No delay what so ever, even up to the 490s, then they slow down just a tad. Never been anything bigger than that. Komatsu is more stable all around. compared to the 349 from my exp. Seen many, many in working condition with 12, 15, even 18k hours.
@@TylerSparks-sj7ws thanks bro
Put a bigger bucket on the 210 for gods sake
Nice job, but what necessitates the pipe being so deep?
It’s gravity flow sewer. Elevation where it’s starting and ending determines its depth. It’s got to flow downhill.
