Water Main Repair
 

I just thought I'd share some more work pictures from back in January. Our crew was repairing a water main break on 6" cast iron main. A local guy asked if he could come out and practice with his drone. He is interested in doing some job site surveillance as a side job. I thought the pictures were pretty neat.

Water Service Line
 

Here are a couple more he did while our crew repaired a water service line.

Cool pictures mrmiller, did you have to replace part of the main? I also now work for the city water distribution department I started just before Thanksgiving last year our town is mostly cast iron mains but most of our newer ones now are C-900 we mostly use pex pipe for services. I like doing that kind of work I have learned a lot already but I'm still seeing new situations everyday Thank you for sharing.

Yes we cut out a section of the main and installed pvc with 2 high max couplings. I've been at this going on 4 years and still come across new situations all the time. We do water distribution, natural gas, and sewer collection. So with that being said it keeps us on our toes with all the different parts, regulations, etc.

Cool pictures!

We have used those high max clamps a few times here they work good and will seal most anything but they are not cheap last I looked where we order them it's $150 for a 4". Sounds like you guys have a full plate with water, gas, and wastewater. It's been kind of slow here lately we just finished the springtime flushing.

I work for a plastic factory making deliveries and yes it's a International 4300 lol
At home in the garage is where I'm happy :beerchug:

My dad owns a body shop, so I’m going to be working for him when I get out if school.

Vehicle driver since 1990, same company since 1991.

I love engine's, of all kinds, for example, 12v 5.9 Cummins, OMC outboards from 9.9 hp and up.
B-S on my 2 RER Snapper mowers, My 115 4 cylinder 2 stroke on my 18 ft deep V center console boat.
And for the grand finale, a Kohler K241 on my CC 106.

I have a Sleeper of off one of our wrecked road tractors
And used as a small tool shed.
I still enjoy driving but no longer love it, way too many regulations placed on commercial drivers anymore.
10 speed Road Rangers are dying out and 12 speed AMT's are taking over!

With front radar and cruise control on all you have to do is keep it between the lines it does everything else, like stopping if you don't.
Autonomous trucks are coming, I'm fine with that, I'll be retired by then.
God bless all,
