That boy and his 225, they don't get apart very often. When they do, he has a Bobcat 435. Both are worked.. over 7000 on both hoes. But he makes it work

Just so ya'll can see what we do

CD, I see green clean outs along the wall. Drains ??? Please forgive my ignorance / curiosity.
Nice work btw !
We ride the Harley to SnowMass every now and then. A friend has a condo there. It's my favorite ride.

Hey CD, thought you might enjoy a little Link Belt love. This shiny new 210 was delivered to a road job going on locally here on Thursday. With no place to park near it, I took advantage of my wife riding shotgun today and had her grab some pics while I did a drive-by.

210 x3 = tier 4. they are great hoes. I would like to know what tier 4 design is working the best for the frigid climates.Thanks for posting, Our next one is probably going to be a 160 x3, then a 235 x3. Just waiting to see how the economy does.

Anyway's I added a few fotos, For Scrub Puller....that is what a finished debris flow structure looks like. start to finish my man.

Regards,..Again..CD

I don't know of any excavators using anything other than cooled EGR/DPF at the moment. Anything that is T4F will have SCR on top, but DEF use is low enough that most can go 250-500 hours without refill.

I wonder what happens with the urea (DEF fluid) at night when the machine is not running at 10 below zero as it will freeze.

 

[hvy 1ton]

There is a heater in the def tank that warms up the def on startup. Computer gives you 10 minutes for the def to melt. The urea content is low enough that it does not salt out on freeze.

We started three house all together yesterday. One is on it's own and the other two plus a bonus lot are in one large parcel. Here we are clearing the r.o.w., adding sleeves and prepping driveways. Just so you can see how crazy the weather is here, the tree moving was in the morning and the sewer tap in the afternoon.











Regards. CD

 

[Colorado Digger]

A few more. Finally a jobsite with easy access and wide open.

After working in all the tight spots you have been working in you and your workers will be spoiled having all that room to work. More great work being done, liked the finished shots of the debris flow the rocks set it off nice.

 

[Dozerboy]

Looks cold...it was 95* in TX the other day. Yaw summer is here.

 

[Colorado Digger]

Here are a few of a sewer service we are working on. Then a tree transplant.

Do you have to have a plumbers card to run sewer laterals?

The reason I ask is in AL, the law states a licensed plumber can only run sewer and water from the ROW to the building. A utility contractor, licensed by the General Contractors Board can run mainline, laterals to the property line, pump stations, etc. Under my GC license I can do mainline sewer and water (which I don't) up to $50k worth of work. Yeah I know, doesn't make much sense.

I don't have my masters card and I miss out on some lucrative work running sewer and water on projects.

Yair . . .

Gotcha Colorado Digger, much obliged, interesting concept for a flatlander, who actually picks up the tab? . . . the land holders whose properties are protected I assume?

Cheers.

CM- The answer to your question is NO. It is still the old west out here and there are quite a few of issues with companies getting involved in work they are not qualified to do. Even city and county is different about what they require, running sewer main in Aspen entails getting pre-certified with the bossman of the Sanitation district.
Scrub- The landowner pays for any capitol improvements to their land out here, If they don't do what the county/city want they don't get any permits to build their mansions.
Insomnia has hit me, 1.30 am in the morning and I am thinking who is running water line, how my water truck is going to get new rubber and a million other irrelevant things. I have been so tired, I hit the sack around 8 pm and wake up at midnight. Last night I made pan fried pork chops and pasta from 1-1.30. It doesn't happen much but what a bitch worrying about stupid stuff.

Good to see you are busy, hows the new dump working out?

Ironically enough, most of the plumbers I have worked around aren't qualified, don't understand or don't care about proper trench backfill and compaction in parking lots.

On a Taco Bell I had the site work for, the plumber had 300' of 4" PVC mainline and dumpster drain to run. I dug the ditch for the mainline, grease trap and backfilled, all by the hour. We had to level the stone for the grease trap as they couldn't grasp the use of a rotary laser.

Super told me the site sewer and water (PVC not copper) was a $20K contract.

CM, Here in Mo. in the Kansas City area and many outlying towns that is the rule - only a plumber w/master license can do the water tap, sewer services, gas etc. - a permit can not even be pulled to do the job without this being in place. This takes many competitors out of the running at the gate for me.
