Do you do your own backfill?
I would cringe to turn a GC crew loose on that.

I don't know what the footage is. As you can see this continued on to the chiller rooms, cooling tower yard and boiler room. This work was done in two major phases this being the first. We have a backhoe sub that does allot of electrical underground work. They did s good job on the back fill. I am aways real adamant they don't knock the risers out of plumb. There is nothing worse than spending all this time precisely positioning them to have the backhoe tweak them with a sheep's foot or a whacker. If I remember right this portion took 120 CU yards of 2 sack concrete to cover. They spent two more days backfilling to grade.

Rarely do I come across pipework that I'd consider artistic, with attention paid to the details of lining things up just perfect... Let alone in underground work... Has anyone else ever just stared for a moment after finishing a conduit job thinking... "Damn, that looks nice!"  Almost a shame to cover that up! Well done Nick! -Randy

Looks good Nick! It must be nice to work in that sunshine all the time! If that were here, it would be a gray sky background, and there would be mud and puddles everywhere.

Thanks guys,
It was the first heat wave of the summer when we did this last year. Temps were pushing 100 deg. When you are not used to it it feels more like 120. When your not used to working with the tools it feels like death!
