We've been busy and I've been slacking in updating this thread.
So here we go.
When you have a really good customer that pays well you do things for them one normally doesn't do for other clients. Sign installation for a new chicken shack, this will be #4 we've done for them. This is the largest site for a chicken shack we've done, a lot of storm pipe and import. We'll get into this one in the following month. Unfortunately it's a 1.5 hour drive one way from home base..
We are currently working on an Aussie steak house. This site is the same one we demo'd the building on up thread. Super asked if we would unload the light poles as they were coming in one afternoon. No problem, he's a good super and easy to work with so I said "Yeah no problem". This is what showed up. Light poles stacked almost at the head of a 50' van trailer.
It wasn't that difficult. We laid each pole down and shot the rented lull into the van, strapped the pole and pulled it out. 5 total. The super owes us.:cool2
I can't express how handy a zero swing excavator is on these tight jobs. Digging down to the existing inlet box to make the tie in for the new 18" RCP.
Existing CIP inlet box to be tied into. The box was 8" thick at the top, however the form blew out at the bottom which made that section 12" thick. A 3 hour tie in turned into 3/4 of a day...
18" RCP making its way to the first inlet box.
