Guess What We're Building! Another Massive Earth Moving Farm Project Today!
What happens here
Prior to construction, various types of pipes are staged near the creek crossing: multiple 30-inch diameter old steel gas line pipes, and one large 4-foot diameter corrugated metal pipe. The source of fill dirt for the bridge construction is identified as a nearby catch pond, created years prior for cattle water supply. The dozer begins by driving through the existing crossing, clearing some of the current debris and mud to create a basic path for pipe placement.
Goal: Gather necessary materials and prepare the immediate crossing area.
Tools and materials
- 30-inch Steel Gas Line Pipes — Primary water flow culverts for the bridge
- 4-foot Corrugated Metal Pipe — Main overflow culvert for heavy rain events
- Fill Dirt Local — Building up the bridge structure and covering the pipes
