Pretty cool video. As a heavy equipment operator and now a field superintendent, I have to tell you that those digging machines are NOT backhoes. They are called excavators. The biggest question I have is why the trench wasn't pumped out. There was a hell of a lot of water and it could have been diverted at best. Keep in mind that I'm not criticizing the video or work. I'm just very curious about why it was done like this.
Yea. I operated most of them from Cranes to Jackhammers over near 50 yrs. Cleveland Bucketwheels on the CJB. Murphy, and Yank lines. Mainly the Allens on UK lines. The Clevelands you had to steer to the centre line ALL the time. They walked around. The Allens were a long boom with bucket chain on Not a wheel/ You could walk away. Have smoko. Come back, It;s still chuffing along the centreline. My fav were the Draglines in the soft/muddy stuff. Loved 'em.
Perhaps a stupid question, but is the spoil pile always re used as the back fill? Even if it's high in clay content, which tends to backfill very poorly?
dbennett4 most of the time it is. Because most of the time it is virgin soil your digging through. If the soil is out of spec then they will haul in an approved fill or amend the spoil in to an approved fill. In 2 years it will look like the tress were cleared but no evidence of the digging. I really is a very professional process and the workers really work to make sure everything is done correctly. Plus there are inspectors. I worked in the underground utilities for 12 years. Water mains, sewer lines, underground power lines and telephone lines. I enjoyed all 12 years it is. Good job.
dbennett4 - "proper" backfill would be cost prohibitive. its built into the pipe for pipelines like this. they could backfill with boulders and it probably wouldn't do shit to the pipe, someone should be able to tell u how thick that steel is. an inch?
How do you avoid damaging the epoxy coating without using screened backfill? Damage the epoxy, it will create a rust hole and a weak spot in the line and the pipe wont live up to its life expectancy. I hope that wasnt an oil line.
When you work for multiple companies with different machines...when they don't need you, lay off, find another company on another line....the downside of pipe lining.....work not steady, but pay good...draw unemployment...
They are excavators set up in a backhoe configuration...? I don't know if anyone explained to you that there are backhoe excavators AND shovel excavators. You are probably mistaking the word backhoe to mean what is known as a backhoe LOADER.
+Jens Söderberg I must say that sometimes the background music is acceptable. However, when watching television "How It's Made" or other how to programs, the background music is more annoying than an all day barking dog !!
as its* conveyor belt deposits it's = it is Before compositing text into your production video, enter it all into a spell checker and make sure it is properly proofed. Such a nice video, it's a shame to have such a second grade spelling error so visible within it.
But 60 years from now, that pipeline might develop a leak and cause a massive spill of several thousand litres of oil, so better to move oil by overground trains instead!
Awesome video! Pipeline works is one of the most fascinating sides of the dirt industry.
Everyday another adventure to fix...

yep, I wrangled the hose over backfill pile, air cooled wisconsin engines in a frame manhandled by a sideboom....66-71 for Cape and Blackie
Awesome video!
I did this for 25 years.Long days,all kids of weather in 2960s.we had a Cleveland trencher.

walked the ditch throwing rocks behind a Cleveland....among other jobs....labor..breaking out, but female pulled me out of my favorite job....
wow, that was cool to watch.
Looks like this was filmed in Canada, and judging by the weather, probably in July or August.

Northern Alberta, February 2008. This was a warmer day, only about -10 C.
how often do you have to replace the frost teeth on that?
Keren abiss👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 i remember againt it is main the jobin pipeline sumatera island project
unbelievable
cool video
More fun doing it in the ocean or across Long Island Sound!
Trackhoes or excavators. A backhoe is a rubber tire machine
Dam rite let's do it boys!

It's called reclamation

Why don't use , gate valve, air valve in pipe between distance 300metre
At 1:43, was that a carrot that was dug out of the ground? And those are not backhoes, they are excavators.

only if it had rocks....did that, swamping on bsckfill dozer....
HI: Do you know the make & model no. of the bucket wheel ditcher? Great video, Thanks for posting
The bucket wheel is a Banister 710

We call them trackhoes in Canada

What are the horrible sounds on this video?
is a pipeline above ground , cheaper to do ?
+Kevin Olesik yes
+Kevin Olesik But, most likely not safer
+Chester Harrah Until you need to dig it up, and find the leak. Just playing devil's advocate. It can't get hit by a car if it's buried.
+Carl Johnson oil and gas pipelines never get to the point of leaking from degradation, they dig them up to repair rust spots smaller than a dime.
+Corey Schmidt Right. A buried line has never leaked. Ever.
That thing is fucking scary
I noticed that they always leave out the details and importance of the survey crews jobs.
Someone doesn't know what a backhoe is.

No, of course not, that's why they used this awesome (and very fitting) music

I thought my sarcasm would be apparent, but apparently not.
Yeah, ride your bike to work and don't worry about it.

+Craig Arndt yeah its okay its a good thought knowing you are going to burn in hell lol...
