Finally, A JOB!!!
just picked up 26,000 feet of 6" rural water main yesterday.
 7' deep, dig and doze, no compaction....we're hoping for average of 1500' a day. here's a pic of the route.

Re: Finally, A JOB!!!
Is it just me or when you have to use a satellite map as a blueprint perhaps you should refer to it as more than a "job"?
 Best of luck, hope you get it all done before the snow. |

Re: Finally, A JOB!!!Quote:
all 6" class 200 PVC. no, we had to bid it. it's a labor only job, the system is providing all the material. this work typically is VERY competitive. we left 13 cents a foot on the table on the pipe, i feel pretty good about that, there was 4% spread tween me and 2nd.

Re: Finally, A JOB!!!
Do you worry about rocks falling back in the hole and breaking the pipe or sitting right on the pipe?
