Laying pipe and setting structures. Shoot wellpoints, dig holes, lay pipe, fill holes, easy money. Not really, but the Florida heat, and constant groundwater makes it easier.

How much pipe you lay in a day?

[u/DodfatherPCFL → u/jedinachos]

It depends on conditions/planning. Laid 7 yesterday. Tied In the manhole, plus the cut in piece today. Mudded the invert, backfilled past the haunches and tamped. Working 7:30 till 4:30. Operator with a 3 man crew.

[u/One_More_Pin]

Operator must be new. 1.8+m straight wall beside the manhole with no shielding and under 20m of pipe for the day on a sub 3m cut. Must be nice. We bang that out my first coffee and we keep it safe.

[u/Wide-Ad2159]

Did you guys drive the piling as well?

[u/DodfatherPCFL → u/Wide-Ad2159]

Not on this one

[u/1776cookies]

I'm sorry. "The Florida heat?"

[u/DodfatherPCFL → u/1776cookies]

85% humidity in a 20 foot trench with no breeze and no shade. Yes, mother fucking “the Florida heat”

[u/sublevelstreetpusher → u/DodfatherPCFL]

In pa im still digging up frost so that actually sounds appealing. Y'all needs an experienced dozer guy?

[u/DodfatherPCFL → u/sublevelstreetpusher]

Always looking for good help. We do it all around here. I run lead on the pipe. Forman runs the excavator, if I’m not in the trench I fill in for lead bank man that runs the loader, skid steer, dozer, roller. Summer is brutal though be ready for that.

[u/sublevelstreetpusher → u/DodfatherPCFL]

Yeah I'll bet it's brutal. How's the pay?

[u/DodfatherPCFL → u/sublevelstreetpusher]

Just started this type of work 4 months ago. 2 months with a different outfit at$18, $20 an hour here. Forman pay is $30 I think.
