stop and talk to the fuel man and he said that there is over 80 pieces of iron in a 10 mile section. word is they are trying to make it thru ohio in less then a year.

anybody ever use or work around this beast? How does it work? and what is it used for?

from what I saw they had 3 new JD 450 leading the way , the last pic look at the stick you can see where they painted line that show they how deep to go, 3 line that had 10 11 and 12.

sweet pics bigcat.

I've seen info on those moblie screens before, from what I've heard they are used to screen out big rocks and back fill the pipe at the same time with the fine material.

My buddy is a union mechanic and he was on 2 of Henkel's pipeline jobs last year. They did one is Dallas, PA and Berwick, PA. He said that their pipeline division is out of LA if I remember correctly. 2 yrs ago they spent $24 million on equipment.

Man i was just out that way a couple weeks ago, all I saw was some of those pipelayers being hauled down 70. Wish I could have seen the work. Those big deeres are sweet looking machines

It looks like a Padder.

The first dirt to go into the Ditch gets run through the Padder. That's to made sure no rocks ding the coating on the Pipe.

If there is very much rock the pipe is set on sand bags on the bottom of the ditch also. Gots to be Pretty Anal about that Coating in the Pipeline Business. lol

I don't know how it is now but Sand Bags used to be Cost Plus BTW. The Pipline Companies wanted to make sure they was in there. Counting Sandbags=Lots of Fun.

thanks roddyo, In one of my pic if you look close you can see 4x4 space every 30ft or so it that what they place the pipe on to get welded? before it moves into the hole?
