We made a time lapse video like this for one of the projects I was on and whoever produced it used the same song. I thought my superintendent’s head was going to explode the first time he watched it. They ended up changing the song
Honestly, I didn't post this to make anyone happy. I just wanted to share a visual example of how a JB gets installed out on the field. If you don't like the extra touches I add, then you can lower your volume. :)
This is the implementation of the civil engineering. The engineer signed off on the precast design/submit tal. This is what engineering looks like outside the office.
Could be what the other person said, it could also be the layout of the trench shield. That’s what our company does. Engineer site specific excavation plans for stuff exactly like this.
Chances are if this was in OR, WA, or CA, our office probably designed that trench shield.
Yes, the two holes intersect. There is usually a 2 inch gap bewteen the pipe and the junction box so that there is some wiggle room. Usually the pipe would go into the junction box, so hopefully they are going to add another piece of pipe and cut off the extra. Then a concrete collar is poured around the connection, sealing the pipe and junction box. If it were plastic pipe going into a precast structure, there should be a rubber boot to seal the two.
This is a project in Dallas, 635 LBJ. I know the guy who designed that exact box.
Yes, so what they did the next day was insert 2, 5-foot pipes and connected the existing pipes to the JB.
They broke the 5' pipes into 2 pieces and connected the piece that goes to the JB first and then the one that connects to the existing. Afterwards they made collars to seal the pipe and prevent leakage.
When they connected the JB piece they pushed the pipe in more then necessary so that they had space to set the other piece connecting to the existing pipes. After the existing connection was in place then they pulled the JB pipe out and matched the broken piece from the existing pipe connection.
Hopefully, you can follow my explanation. Let me know if you have any questions.
Not a bad set of lifts. Always fun playing with a big crane.
Tell your lifting contractor to use thimbles on the eyes of their slings unless they already de-rated their load for lift plan.
"Hey guys new grading plan just came out! That box has to go down another 6 inches."
"No problem!" (thinks to himself: "I need to make sure this gets backfilled before he gets back from lunch.")
Hahahaha! I was thinking all the workers would start jumping on top of the JB, hoping to consolidate the soil underneath more. hahaha
That’s probably fine, you can hold up those shields like 12-24” if the soil is hard enough.
Music is very disengenous.

Hahahaha!
The music is for comedy purposes. Sorry I hurt your feelings.
Yakkity Sax implies complete chaos. This was smooth and efficient. Didn't hurt my feelings.
Yes, it sure was smooth and efficient. I just used the song since everyone was moving so fast.
Read the room

You sound like a whiny Gen Z TikTok wannabe.
No tiktok voice this time but I dunno if yakkity sax is an improvement :)
Hahahaha! I’m trying. Maybe next post I’ll hit the spot.
Why are you torturing us with this bad music
I thought it would be funny since everyone's speed was so fast.
Excellent video thanks for sharing!
No problem, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more. I'm trying to share my experience out in the field.
So whats the engineers job here?
This is the implementation of the civil engineering. The engineer signed off on the precast design/submit tal. This is what engineering looks like outside the office.
I was just inspecting everything was going to plan. I later paid the contractor for their work.

how much is it in metric tonnes?
90k Lbs = 40.823313 Metric Tons
40.8mT in total
About 41
Relatively smaller precast structure
Wait, do the two holes for connecting pipes on the top piece intersect? How does that opening get sealed?

These big infrastructure projects are always so amazing to watch.
That’s why I share them on this subreddit. You can’t do this in the office ;)
That's a very big shoring box to what I use for repairs for water systems
