Here are a couple more
First: New D6N that we rented closest thing to a big dozers as I have ran in a while. Man I miss running big cats.

Second and third: Grading a county road with a dozer. We had this thing all all torn up had 1000s of heavy trucks up and down it in the few months. I had to fix it after 1 day of hauling "on site" 30 some loads over this road we had a truck down with several sheared suspension bolts.

Thanks JDOFMEMI

Going to try and get back to posting again soon. I've got out of environmental work, and ba k to demo. Now I'll be working sites that won't be so secure and I'll be able to take pictures. Funny though the first demo job I do I can't take any pictures on either.

They brought in a manifold and a building last night they are 24' wide and 200k lbs. The manifold is on the trailer and the building is being lifted via a tandem pick in the back ground of the other picture.IMG_1530.JPGIMG_1532.JPG

Well this is a new one. I had one of my job get hit by a tornado. It's a city park with detention ponds. Really sucks because we were literally 2 working days away from finishing the project, and this has been a nightmare of a job. They say we made money, but I don't see how. Had 2 broken windows on one of our machines luckily most of them had been moved offsite already. It destroyed a storage unit next to the project which scattered debris all over the ponds that we had dug. We installed some exercise stations and they're completely destroyed.

Damn DB!

That's going to prolong the nightmare going through insurance coverage and then rebuilding it.

Ya we pull off the job. The silver lining might be its a city job. I hear we are pricing the clean up and then regrading for the city. My dozer operators gonna strangle me. Hes probably regraded these ponds 4 times now. They are a nasty black wet clay. Which takes a lot of work to dry out to be able to grade. The scrappers already took advantage of all the free metals sitting out there and cleaned it all up for us at least.

Here's the deepest I have gone in S.E. TX. 65' down and its amazing we didn't hit ground water. I often hit ground water a 5'. The pond had a 2' clay liner. That's a (2)336cats and a 470Deere loading 17 trucks. I think I was running 6 "D6N"dozers on this job, but we often had 3 broken at once. Still managed 15k yrd a day being short on trucks.

DB what's the pond for?

New subdivision. That's pretty much all we do. The land is very flat here. Like maybe 200' of elevation change from the coast to 150-200 miles inland. Most of my jobs only have a 4' or so elevation change on them. Because of that all new subdivisions have to have large retention ponds dug to prevent flooding. Normally you don't go but 20' deep because of ground water and the outfalls/storm is only 10' max.
