We had a similar site in 2022 where an old gas station was. They buried half the building and all of the foundation. Left the fuel lines in and there was contaminated soil everywhere. Almost doubled our time with the cleanup especially being next to a nature reserve.
Good job and good job on the video! I’m subscribing ! I’ve been looking for some new channels . And I like the drone footage so you can see the machines working! Good job!
I'm surprised that permits were given to built on a previous site where fuel was stored. That is not allowed in Canada without complete and thorough testing.
@@GarrettWilliams2017 nice mate, did you get it and the skid steer custom painted or was it some limited series from CAT? reason i clicked on the video ;)
Nice video and I'm curious why do you use a dozer, excavator and skid steer loader? Isn't it cheaper to just use an excavator with a grading bucket? This is how we often do it in the Netherlands, but that could also be because we hardly use dozers and skid steer loaders that are hardly used in Europe
You need a 5ft wide/cleanup bucket for your 225. And why haul out all the nice topsoil? Don’t you want to save 15/20 loads to respread for finish grade?
Topsoil always turns to mud and just makes a giant mess, it’s sometimes easier to remove all of it, and then truck some back for any of your landscaping needs after it’s all built
Hmm seems expensive. If anything I would think to just stock pile on site somewhere out of the way. But different areas have different practices for specific reasons I guess.
@@zaccheus Depends. Sometimes you sell it to other customers or sites. If you have room you sell it to the public directly. If you're in the business long enough you find people always looking for topsoil. Garbage sites or sand pits filling back in. Or the trucking company might know. It goes on and on.
Wish you would just show more videos from inside the machine loading and stuff instead of this drone stuff with music. Channel would be so much more liked. No hate
It's a sand bucket , they run then in some areas with really sandy soil because when you grab a bucket of sand with a large excavator the air can't escape as fast as the sand fills the bucket so it creates an air pocket and shoots the sand/ rocks violently at the cab and also covers the pins in sand and creates excessive wear on the pins . You don't have to have a sand bucket like that but if you want to dig full speed in sand it helps !
Hey Garrett, why do yall strip out all the black dirt? I live In South Ga ( Valdosta Ga) and all we have scrape the site clean of grass and be 18”-24” below the original grade for our footers and no more than 32” on a mono slab . 32” and above call for Concrete block and they have to be solid poured with rebar every 3’ going from the footer to the top of the slab. Thanks in Advance !! Just curious and interested in the way other States ( especially the cold States) prep for residential/commercial construction
