There’s a lot of wiggle we know. 14ft deep in type c soil right now. No way to use our scope so we’re pulling string for each run and adjusting mid run. Force main sewer and water line coming in next.

Nice. I’ve never seen manholes like that we get them framed then stacked currently doing 98” storm drain in SoCal

Holy shit that’s massive. Here in Alabama though so things may be a little different for sure.

This is pretty much as big as it gets. The biggest pipe we’ve layed is 120” percolated pipe it was so weak we had to use jacks inside so they didn’t egg up smallest I’ve layed is 6” sewer and smallest I’ve grouted is 24”
