  • We were hired to set the trench boxes for this sewer tap. The hole was 20 foot deep and required to 10' x 4' trench boxes. We got it ready for the Plumber to take over.

    These guys are lucky to be working for you, because you don't take chances with them. I did utility spotting for my dad when I was just a kid. I don't know how he got away with it, union wise. It was a water line on a busy street just laden with cross utilities. I loved doing that job, and took it very seriously. It was only 4 to 5 ft. deep, but there was lots of strange old utilities that weren't marked, or showing on the plans. It ended up being pretty slow going. It was a lot of fun for a kid: tractors, traffic, noise, diesel smoke, etc.

    Thats a risky way to find a utility. You need a hydrovac bud.

    This is interesting. I have to dig a 4m trench for a sewer offset junction to go into my property.
    I see the trench box is fine for straddling the sewer main, but how do you then put your junction pipe in which is close to right angle off the main? The trench box is solid and blocks the way.

    • @medolmshaoshasafetyman
      @medolmshaoshasafetyman Рік тому +2

      Was this in compliance though? Over 20 foot depth, they would need a Registered Professional Engineer involved. Also, OSHA would cite the man in the bucket cutting the limbs at the beginning of the video as well as not wearing hard hats either would be just another citation.... sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but excavation and trenching is on OSHA's radar, so be prepared. And when you choose to put out a video, make sure a safety person vets it ahead of time! Just my thoughts, being a safety trainer.

    Nice, I did a lift station for a sewer and water treatment facility. At our maximum depth we reached 42 feet. Also dug over the top of a lot of lines as a spotter. I was super excited when I got sent to a company with a hydro excavator. It made finding utilities a lot easier.

      Either away from the trench or into a catch basin that isn't tied back into what you're working on.
