Let it snow let it snow let it snow here just brickwork we started a new job on Monday for a new client to client requested us to kindly supply them in writing and estimate for their request of 100 m² block paving to which we did.
We supplyed a client a complete breakdown. To finish off their works that they requested from us along with a basic draft contract their approval.WE started works as for this Monday and we started a new excavation site we place a three tonne machinery with a hydraulic braking machine to break up the large concrete that is already there are then existing driveway we estimate the concrete to be in excess of 7 inches deep or approximately 160 mm, she made light work with these hydraulic braking point. The 360° machine to a place to the job is a JCB which is currently owned by joint brickwork Ltd on the first day of the works we removed approximately 30 t of mixed soil and aggregate to which was removed by her local contractor contractor that we called in for this project has a eight wheeled Lorry with a mechanical grab.
The grab vehicle approached our job and pulled alongside the mechanical arm is in operated by hydraulic levers to the outside of the vehicle the arm is an extended and the backing they reaches over to the pile of debris the debris is picked up by the machine and then placed into the rear of the empty lorry every lorry can carry around 17 to 20 t fully loaded.
The vehicle is entered into a local waste disposal sites that is run by the local borough council upon tipping the heavy load the drive everything given a certificate by the council to prove that the waste is disposed of according to all health and safety regulations and this of course safeguards any comeback if they were to fly tipping they have the necessary documentation to prove it there is disposed of according the but most of all safely.
To be carried on working throughout the snow on Monday, made good progress in this liability by progress we came across the utilities i.e. the gas mains water mains and electrical mains. We carefully carried on excavating and grading the area around with the machine this machine is capable of moving a lot of soil with a minimum amount of effort due to the size of the ditching bucket that is attached to the end of the arm this bucket is approximately 4 feet across the width and 300 mm in size. Sometimes you say so mechanical diggers working alongside if you look carefully at the machines bucket sometimes there are large round holes in them this is I release a water.
On some particular buckets they have large teeth extend over 4 to 5 inches in depth these are called greedy teeth and due to their name they turn into hard ground with ease.
