Pond Mucking + Giant Water scorpion + Excavator = Todays Video

What happens here

The excavator operator, Tim, demonstrates the careful process of removing muck from the pond. He extends the excavator arm and uses the bucket to scoop out the dark, silty material from the pond's edge. This process is slow and meticulous, ensuring that only the unwanted sediment is extracted while maintaining the integrity of the pond's base. The removed material is then deposited into piles along the bank.

Goal: Remove accumulated sediment from the pond without disturbing the clay bottom.

Tools and materials

  • Excavator Daewoo — Scooping and moving sediment
  • Muck/Sediment N/A — The material being removed from the pond

that was a long explanation for that. some of the sediment, sander stuff on top. So, when you're doing this, are you looking for the different layers in it right now? I'm trying to find them. Yep. But they seem uh it's pretty all muddy around flat stuff. So I see you're just skimming. So you're kind of going by field to try to Yep. You keep the edge nice and you know it's not a big drop off. But sounds like the owner of the place just wanted to make sure that his pond's not filled in. Fuzzy on how deep to go. [Music] So, how did you bid this? Figured uh two loads of u material out roughly and uh I think it's about a day and a half of work. I uh it's about three grand. Okay. Think that's enough? How would you bid it? No, there's a lot of different ways you can skin a cat, so to speak. You get all honestly, but it's pretty random. to be a bottom. So right there is bottom. of that look like sediment from you from the parking lot? Huh? No. No. This looks like clay bottom. Yeah.
