FYI to people saying no shoring! Shoring system includes Sloping (depending on soil type, 1.5 to 1 type C, 1 to 1 Type B, or .75 to 1 Type A, Trench Boxes or Shield, Timber Shoring, Hydraulic Shoring, etc. Anything 20 feet deep or more must be approved by registered professional Engineer in that state. They say they had letter, but I don't see how they could classify it as type A soil....Most soil is type C and B.
I remember digging with that same bucket..or one just like it..my brother and I had a argument over the finished slope ratio..he said 3/4 to 1 or 1 to 1..i said no way..we measured..I was right!1 closer to 1/2 to 1 to 3/4 to 1..teicherts trapezoidal buckets are 3/4 to 1. still,in this day and age,you still have to get a engineer to sign off on the jobsite to do 3/4 to 1. you do a nice job of moving over just a scootch and not letting all your bucket teeth line up. thus you still have a beautiful ditch but not cutting it as steep as the bucket would if you did
After hooking up a bucket to a different bucket you should go through the motions and open and then swing it closed too many have fallen off and have killed people. Just a thought
Looks also like Sam Cooper operation go,n on here,theres other superintent s does same thing also,do i need to mention there names also,there day will come soon enough,may god be with some of those employees there,Amen!!!!!
Besides doing 5 yrs locating utilities i was a CNC machinist for 20yrs and standing on my feet for 10-12 hrs a day. I think i would have rather got into heavy equipment operating.
Done it for 12 hours a day, on night shift to boot. 8km long tailings dam for a mine in the middle of nowhere, had to stay in the machine for the entire shift, piss off the tracks and hope you don't have to take a dump. 8 hours a day is more than enough, 6 even better, spending too much time in the seat really makes you hate doing it. I love all the armchair quarterbacks in the comment section though, as if nobody but them has ever dealt with slopes and Worksafe/OSHA compliance.
Seen 870G on side excavator, size used for civil engineering work: sewer mains, etc. 470G back ground moving spoils out way. Good seat, AC works, control set pattern you like.

Man I’ve seen so many videos of trenches like that collapsing. I would never be down in that hole

not getting in that hole, idc what engineer says about it.

Nice potato dirt. Near perfect conditions

I would not allow nobody in that hole
I'd only take about 5 seconds of you talking to me like that , I do know that

"You're in my fucking way!" Too funny.
Awesome operating power mode on music on hit it hard mate 👍🏴
That bucket reminds me of the Spinosaurus from Jurassic Park

glad to see everyone gets along good on this job site 😆😆
All these stupid safety comments from internet keyboard warriors that have no experience. Clean work man.

nice job that is a deep trench for such a small pipe ? There are sure a lot of health and safety experts on you tube comments these days !
Nice work! Curious as to why so much trench is still exposed and not backfilled yet? Great video and thanks for posting it.
