Networks never understood that there is a massive audience who donât care about crew drama, but who watch just to see things being built. We want to know all the details!
-
The remote controlled trench roller is one of the cutest construction equipment I've ever seen. We should give him a name.
-
This is basically How It's Made, but for construction. I seriously hope that you get to expand it into a full series for multiple forms of construction, Grady.
-
Never thought there would be a cliffhanger on a sewage pump station, yet here we are. Love this series
-
As an industrial electrician that has installed the pumps on these sort of stations, I find the civil side very interesting and you've done a great job on this series.
-
The caution tape they laid over the pipe has an additional important use you didn't mention. It's metallic, meaning you can trace the plastic pipe above ground with a metal detector without having to blindly dig around to find it
-
Seriously this reminds me of the kind of content I would get from discovery channel as a kid... but in a format where you can take your time with every part of the process. Love it!
-
These videos have been so entertaining. Please try to keep this series going!
-
Holes of San Antonio Inc is an incredible company name, so straight to the point
-
I appreciate the effort put in to blur the workers faces. In addition to ensuring privacy and comfort of the workers, I find it genuinely visually appealing because it doesn't become a distraction to me from the construction content.
-
Engineer in North Dakota. Very interesting the different means and methods across the country! Never heard of not casting boots to the lift station. Always have the precast do those! Also never seen flowable fill for that, usually just compacted suitable fill. Very enjoyable series!
-
I canât tell you how many miles of underground work I have witnessed while being an RE for a water and wastewater consulting firm. These guys had it easy only having to leak test with water instead of having to vac test not only the lines but, also every manhole. Plus using pvc makes it so much easier. Try miles of 36â concrete water main through suburban subdivisions, under creeks, rail, and dealing with homeowners!
-
High quality and in-depth, but straight to the point. Great series.
-
In simcity, water treatment connections only take a few clicks. These three videos really showcase how complicated civil engineering can be and how out-of-sight it is to our daily lives.
-
Weirdly cute seeing the pipe tied to the excavator's neck with a great big ribbon. And that caution tape above the pipes is so thoughtful! I love little things like that that show how people create procedures to make other people's lives easier.
-
So interesting to see how they incorporate a whole new set of lines and such, IN A WORKING SYSTEM! The detailed steps needed and special tools/ equipment. There is always so much more to a project/ system than we lay people realize. Thanks again for showing us a 'peek under the hood' of our modern world.
-
âTime to move on to number twoâ. I see what you did there đ . Another great video.
-
Having spent years performing subsurface utility surveying and working alongside civil engineers in the same department, this series absolutely fascinates me. Thank you for this project!
-
I love seeing skilled operators using heavy machinery. Great videos.
-
It would have been cool to see a little bit about the design phase. Like choosing location, engineering choices, equipment considerations for the site and construction, surveying,etc.
