St Martin Canal is 4,55km long (which 2km are underground). Build from 1822 to 1825. A lot of mud / trash accumulated on the bottom since the last cleaning in 2001. 7000T of mud, 250T of trash (bootles/cans/bikes..). 4.5T of fish were relocated. Cleaning, masonry repairs and new sluices/floodgates costed 9.5 millions EUR. Yes, private contractors for government job = ineffective work. Like everywhere in the world :D Light construction equipment was used so it doesn't crack the bottom of this historic monument (for all the constructions experts in the comments ;) )
This was seriously painful to watch, whoever was in charge of that operation had absolutely no idea what they were doing. I am an old lady and even I know how that job could have been done more easily. The person that was driving the white tractor didn't even know how to drive it! Very frustrating.
Forget the snow plow!!! A couple of good skidsteers would be perfect, but most of the people commenting have NEVER done anything like this!!!! But well done guys for a good job🤙
Is it just me but it is just so satisfying to see these heavy machinery work the canal? ... I feel like the men are just 12 year-olds but with bigger tonka toys ... I'm _so_ jealous 😜
what a dumb inefficient way to do the job . they could have put an 8 inch vacuum excavation pump on to a boom , push the debris towards the boom and suck it out down to clean concrete . it would have been 5 times faster . LOL
Uma obra assim jamais aconteceria no Brasil, pois aqui para os políticos não importa o resultado da obra mas sim o quanto eles vão desviar durante essa.
@@mickeybigbuds Yeah, pretty ridiculous, You're right, of course! (Your...? Ah, fuck it!) But You gotta admit he perfectly deserved it with that shitshow of a comment, don'tya?
Wow. Sump to get rid of as much water as possible. Front End Loaders to move the spoil to an open end bund that the grab can then get a decent bucket full. The tractor operator hasn't got a clue on how to use that machine effectively. Stop the traffic when loading an excavator onto the trailer. Hate to think what would happen if it slid off sideways. In short whoever is in charge of these clowns needs sacking.
Had the same thought. Two tracked skidsteers and maybe a small dozer whould do the trick here. Okay, the longfront excavator is a good idea and pretty useful but there is surely some better equipment to clean the canal itself than a tractor and a little excavator. But at the end the Manitou was the right way.
This was painful to watch. Just pitiful! Especially when loading the equipment onto the trailer. Im not sure what method they were using to clean the mud or if we're trying to relocate it on the bottom for the fish to follow.
Due to most European streets being so small with limited access. Very difficult to get heavy equipment in. We Americans would have some cats, volvos scraping that sludge up in no time... Pump and dump... No can do in France.
I wonder how much percentage of what was removed was just plain human made trash and how much the savings could’ve been if it had only been natural sediment needing to be removed. I often try to find ways I can personally decrease any damage I do to this planet. One thing is for sure it’s not a bad place to start with just plain not throwing garbage out irresponsibly... I wish we could all do that.
Wow.. talk about the most nonefficent way of doing a job!!! WTH .. soooooo much wasted time and waste of fuel and waste of equipment. All of it could have been done in half the time half the cost n half the equipment!!!! They better reevaluate the situation n use a better solution. Wow SMH
CLAMENS L'entreprise doit plaisanter! Quelle merde, ce travail doit être un contrat à l'heure! Ensuite, les gens se plaignent que l'État verse des sommes déraisonnables à ces entreprises fictives, des entreprises qui facturent 3 ou 4 fois la valeur en un temps record de la paresse. Payez le contribuable pauvre heureux de voir le canal propre pendant encore 10 ans.... Puis un autre fardeau fiscal pour les cons pour les autres prochains 20 ans ... Ainsi de suite!...
