Accomplishments
I and a team of co-workers completed a pipeline of 12", 8", 6", and 2" Carbon steel pipe from start to finish. We dug the whole pipeline, shored it all the way, got the pipe in and welded up. Through the pipeline we backfilled as we we went along. I and a crew of 3 dug duct banks and laid various amounts of conduit underground.
