What happens here

Utilize the excavator equipped with a specialized grappling attachment (like a CMP Attachments ULC grapple) to lift and pull the large corrugated metal pipe. The initial attempts involve strong pulls to break the pipe free from the frozen ground and sandy soil. Maneuver the excavator arm to tilt the pipe and allow any accumulated sand and debris inside to fall out, reducing the overall weight. Be mindful of hydraulic hoses connected to the excavator's attachments and other site obstructions.

Goal: Safely remove the buried culvert pipe from the trench and empty it of debris.

Tools and materials

  • Concrete Blocks — Temporarily supporting the pipe or acting as counterweights (seen in later loading)
  • Daewoo Excavator Daewoo — Lifting, pulling, and maneuvering the culvert
  • Grappling Attachment CMP Attachments ULC — Securely gripping the culvert pipe
  • Heavy-duty Strap — Securing the culvert to the grapple or excavator bucket
