Working on an underground Vault lid at a Commercial Excavation site

What happens here

Upon arrival at the job site, the narrator, now wearing his safety gear, observes an excavator (specifically a Link-Belt 235X3) in action. Workers attach heavy chains and hooks to large, heavy concrete slabs. The excavator then carefully lifts these slabs out of a deep trench, demonstrating precise heavy machinery operation to remove the top layer covering the underground utilities.

Goal: Observe the safe removal of large concrete slabs from a trench using heavy machinery.

Tools and materials

  • Concrete Slabs — Covers for underground utilities, being removed
  • Excavator Link-Belt 235X3 — Lifting and moving heavy concrete slabs
  • Heavy Chains — Securing concrete slabs for lifting
  • Hooks/Shackles — Connecting chains to the excavator bucket and concrete slabs
