Here is a new job we just started. We installed the concrete deadmen for pedestrian traffic, dug and loaded fill and are underpinning the 2 builders from 7'8"-14'8" below the existing footings.
Here some more
why are u doing that and what up with the snow plow?
Tidy formwork Nac. I assume this is in preparation for a new building/footings. 14'8" doesn't sound much until you have to work at that depth. So have you ripped up the gas or sewer yet???
We have to underpin the building behind us because the new building that will be built later is much deeper. The building to the left has a rubble foundation wall with no footing s and no mortar, so that building is going to have steel and cibbing instaled and jacked up to take the load off the building and a new footing and wall will be built at the new deeper elevation. We also have to do some soil nail work in a couple spot to hold back the earth for some deep cuts. The plow belongs to the GC he has no yard so it siiting on the job.
Thats a nice Deere , how old is it?
The 160Clc is an 2004
its in great condition, i've seen much worse for 4 years old....you obviously talke great care of your equipment!
Some more pics.
great shots keep em commin!
Here is another job I started. We are putting up a addition on the Toll booth office. He we are digging for the footings and pile caps. I will be installing 7 50' Helical pull down piles waiting for my drive head to come in.
Great pics and interesting job Nac!:drinkup Any special reason why pressure treated wood was used for the formwork other than having to leave the "blind forms" in place? What kind of soil nails are being spec'd? Don't know much about them just curious. BTW- the Paslode gun is a great invention, although it can be very aggravating at times.:Banghead
I thought it was just the operator(me) Works when it wants to huh or when you really need it? I still bring the framming hammer. Nice pictures!
I see we have another Paslode operator.
It's still better than a hammer, but every now and then:cussing:cussing Usually when it's getting low on air it wont fire a nail, then it shoots 3 out at once into the nice deck board you were nailing. did I mention every now and then it made you :Banghead:cussing
They spec'd p.t. wood I asked why also and they told me it is in the spec. For the pull down piles they are 1 3/4" solid steel with a 10",12",14" helice and a 5" grout coloum they are rated for 75 ton each will have to torque them to 13,000 ft lbs. The paslode is great especialy when you are in a 3'x3' box 12' below and existing footing trying to toe nail a board.
Here are 2 more underpinning pics and the 20,000 ft lb drive head I just mounted.
Here is a detail on a typical pull down pile
Thanks for the very informative info on the helical piers.:thumbsup Looks like a good niche market.
Here are some pics of the helical piles
Thats an interesting little machine...lookin good
Looks like your staying busy nuccio! Looks great!
NAC, I got a drive head about 12 years ago for spin fins for $3200. The partner I had at the time took it when he left. I have been interested in another one. Has the price gone up a lot? Dwan
1 think a 12,000 ft lb drive head is about $4,000 mine is a 20,000 ft lb and it was about $8,000 with out the quick attach bracket also I needed a touque meter for this job it was a nother $4,000 and had to plumb and wire everything my self.
Here are some moe pics with rebar and the pile cap brackets in the pile caps.
Last picture, upper left corner, Did you twist that shaft before cutting it off or do they come that way now?
Yes we twisted them I had to get to 12,303 ft lbs of torque as per the manufactors calculations to get 150,000 lb capacity. The sales men told me that you can get 3 full twist per foot before it will snap.
Here is a nother job we recently started and are working on. Demo phase
Seepage pits phase
OK give us some background on this job. Pictures are no good without words LOL
Excavation and forming phase
Concrete phase
Striping forms, backfill slab and footing drains
Hey Nac, good lookin' job and concrete pour!:thumbsup Don't want to be a safety nazi or anything, but I don't see any rebar safety caps?:beatsme
Yes I just stiped the forms today and tommarow will be tieng the rebar to full hight and starting the formwork for the walls.
That formwork must have been fun. Great pics looks like a cool job.
demo phase another cool job. did you get to do the demo yet, Nac? Any pictures?
Here are some pics of us forming the walls.
Nac are they all your own forms?
Those are rentals
Here are some of all the froms ready to pour and poured.
Here is what we did yesterday tieng rebar all day
whats the project again? Looks like everything is going well.
The one with the epoxy rebar is an addition to the toll both office on the NJ Turnpike. It is slow going when ever there is a mistake on the drawing it take forever to get an answer.
Here is the tunpike job all formed up with more rebar ready to pour.
Here was a small rock job i was on hammering rock for road wideing and curb.
Here is the underpinning job started underpinning the 2nd building and have a John Deere 60D on demo.
Intresting jobs. Did you find any artifacts around the existing foundations?
with the pictures of the toll booth expansion. is that a normal amount of bar seems like an awful lot. do you know why it was speced that way? just curious graet pics!
Most likely a federal or state thing. Always way overkill.
It is a State job so it is over kill had so much rebar and big bars 4 #9 on top that we had to use a 3/8" mix with a super p to get it to go around everything.
We poured the flatwork last week had to wait for the plumber and electrician to do there undeground work.
Here is the underpinning job I had to dig trenches for the house mover to get his cribbing in to lift the house so we can install the new footing. At the deep end we are 17' below the street level but I bench the cut so we have 12' of shoring we used 3x10 sheeting with 4x4 whalers and 4x4 spreaders, lined the bottom with 6" of 1 1/2" clean stone with a sump pit in the lowest section to keep the trench dry with an automatic 2" submersion pump. The house movers are coming on Monday to start there work
Nice and Clean :drinkup
I try I hate a messy site. My laborers are trained that if they have nothing to do they clean up.
when you say underpinning what exzactly are you doing? interesting work! your a better man than me i hate confined jobsites.
Here is a small rock job i was on last week drilling holes.
Here is a pool demo I did last week also.
Here is the underpiing job i went today to help the house movers set there steel beams.
