Lately Ive been getting work digging in the ROW and I had a pretty big one for me which I finished up today but it was pretty stressful digging across primary power and gas. Im only going about 24" deep for telecom but we found the gas @ 12"...
I know there are lots of people here who do utilities and I was looking for any tips when digging in the ROW. The way I do it now is basically just scratching with the bucket after my spotter digs down a few inches in the same direction Im pulling before every pass. We do that until we get to depth then heel it and repeat 10' more. Forgot to mention we shredded a phone line in like 5 places, repaired it twice then I was just like whatever, it looked to be an old line, neither of the buildings we were near had a land line. It was running in the same direction we were going.
Thanks guys.
