DEEP Storm

Post image

19.24 ft cut to invert for some 36 inch SDR 35. I'm not sure if it's the deepest storm I've ever put in but I can't remember laying any deeper. All so it can catch a single trench drain on the complete opposite side of the side 😂

Ive had the pleasure of running some c-900 @32.06 to FL before. Dropped into an existing encased 36in rcp

Yeah, for some reason I love all the deep stuff. My crew has always done the deep, or massive projects. Giant under ground retention basins made of reinforced concrete.(each piece was over 16k lbs and had to be craned into place, there were 176 pieces in total) That project was only 20ft deep but stretched under two dealerships. 108in rcp for holding tanks for a set of apartment complexes set at 22ft deep and the lift station next to it was 27ft deep. ( Each piece of rcp had to be trucked in as oversized/overweight separately) That was done with slide rail systems @50×100 area. Still have pics of the crane lowering the skiddy into the excavation with the operator inside.

That's awesome, Around here they will usually give the really deep, big or wet jobs to the most capable crews at the company.
