Networks never understood that there is a massive audience who don’t care about crew drama, but who watch just to see things being built. We want to know all the details!

The remote controlled trench roller is one of the cutest construction equipment I've ever seen. We should give him a name.

This is basically How It's Made, but for construction. I seriously hope that you get to expand it into a full series for multiple forms of construction, Grady.

Never thought there would be a cliffhanger on a sewage pump station, yet here we are. Love this series

As an industrial electrician that has installed the pumps on these sort of stations, I find the civil side very interesting and you've done a great job on this series.

The caution tape they laid over the pipe has an additional important use you didn't mention. It's metallic, meaning you can trace the plastic pipe above ground with a metal detector without having to blindly dig around to find it

Seriously this reminds me of the kind of content I would get from discovery channel as a kid... but in a format where you can take your time with every part of the process. Love it!

Holes of San Antonio Inc is an incredible company name, so straight to the point

Engineer in North Dakota. Very interesting the different means and methods across the country! Never heard of not casting boots to the lift station. Always have the precast do those! Also never seen flowable fill for that, usually just compacted suitable fill. Very enjoyable series!

High quality and in-depth, but straight to the point. Great series.

In simcity, water treatment connections only take a few clicks. These three videos really showcase how complicated civil engineering can be and how out-of-sight it is to our daily lives.

I love seeing skilled operators using heavy machinery. Great videos.

I can’t tell you how many miles of underground work I have witnessed while being an RE for a water and wastewater consulting firm. These guys had it easy only having to leak test with water instead of having to vac test not only the lines but, also every manhole. Plus using pvc makes it so much easier. Try miles of 36” concrete water main through suburban subdivisions, under creeks, rail, and dealing with homeowners!

Weirdly cute seeing the pipe tied to the excavator's neck with a great big ribbon. And that caution tape above the pipes is so thoughtful! I love little things like that that show how people create procedures to make other people's lives easier.

Those screw-tightened rubber seals are very interesting. I always thought there would be more permanent seals, but those seem really nice. I'd love to learn more about seals in general. Hydraulic Press channel recently tried to create alternative ice structures using high pressure, and he ran into some issues with sealing.

Having spent years performing subsurface utility surveying and working alongside civil engineers in the same department, this series absolutely fascinates me. Thank you for this project!

So interesting to see how they incorporate a whole new set of lines and such, IN A WORKING SYSTEM! The detailed steps needed and special tools/ equipment. There is always so much more to a project/ system than we lay people realize. Thanks again for showing us a 'peek under the hood' of our modern world.

I was so confused by the manhole process that I thought they left the old and new pipes unconnected and filled around them completely. Now I know the old pipe will be cut and the empty space left in the manhole will redirect the sewage to the old and new pipes.

Thanks to the entire Practical Engineering Team! Working as a Civil CAD tech, this series is a great way to show the results of what I draw!
