We understand the chaos of construction work. Machines look sturdy, but they are susceptible to rain, operator misuse, falling debris, and others. Machine downtime is almost inevitable in every job site, so addressing downtime as fast as possible is a priority for us. 💯 Here, we had to use a crane truck to pull a heavy telehandler out of mud after hours of heavy rain in Houston. It took an entire team to pull the machine off, but we managed to do it pretty fast, and the machine was undamaged. We're continuously evolving the ways we can fix machine issues on-site 👊 #machinery #heavymachinery #heavyequipment #cranes #trucks

How we got through this Granite nightmare... Ever been on a rock project and hit a "rock wall" so hard, it stops everything? Well, that's exactly what happened to this contractor. Picture this: a contractor, top-notch gear, traditional methods. The works (Breakers/Rock Buckets/Shanks etc) But then, production ground to a halt. Nothing moved. Not a speck! Then we rolled up our sleeves and brought in the big gun: the Antraquip AQ/5. Mounted on their CAT336s and CAT345s, we tore into that granite. The result? We cut through it. We making the grade. Long story short. They installed the utilities. Project, back on track and then, completed. Here's the kicker—mechanized cutters like ours don't just chip away at problems; they obliterate them. Forget the old hammer and dance—our cutters are 2 to 5 times faster. Got a rock project on the horizon? Wondering how fast and cost-effective your job could be with our tech? Drop me a line or shoot over a DM. Let’s crunch some numbers and shatter some expectations. Rock on #caterpillar #antraquip #drumcutters #excavators

Learn from our client's bad experience and prioritize safety over cost. Choosing price over quality can end up costing more. Our client ordered the roller cones (roller cutters) separately and built the HDD rock reamers on-site, using used material for the reamer shaft. When facing hard rock or tough conditions, the shaft broke, causing tools to fall off in the hole and well. All equipment and on-site workers stopped, resulting in huge costs. It's important to choose high-quality tools that are suitable for the ground conditions. Visit www.xadrilltools.com for more information on your tool demands.

“It Ain’t all Sunshine & Rainbows” . . . . . Behind all the flash machines , The cool GPS technology , The majestic sound of diesel engines firing up on a cold morning , Dump trucks hauling oversized rocks , Excavators bombing truck and trailers and Full Dozer blades ! Comes the gritty slimy dark side which so many contractors alike have faced. I cannot stress this enough but Luckily and MOST importantly no one was hurt or injured! All spills contained and cleaned up correctly and everyone went home to their families! This footage shows just a snippet of breakdowns , hoses blowing, trucks getting bogged and at our worst my first machine with Urth Techniques erupting into flames during its shift. Anyone that’s ever operated a Cat 336DL will feel my pain -A complete write-off! Events like these puts pressure on all involved , operators, supervisors , clients, management, directors We are all affected and all need to work together to find the solution , implement it safely and get back to work. It’s takes communication, teamwork, resilience, perseverance, determination and commitment. In closing as a small business or any business for that matter it’s important to remember to: Keep showing up, keep pushing , keep striving to improve but most importantly……….. keep going home each night after your shift .

Short steps, long vision… Stay safe! . . #URTHmoving #URTHworks #URTHtechniques . . . . #excavation #excavator #heavyequipment #earthmoving #heavymachinery #caterpillar#williamadamscat#Dozer#Dozing#heavyequipmentoperator #heavyequipmentlife #dirtlife #civil #earthmovers#dirt#caterpillar#teamwork #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #WorkTheDirt #Earthmover #GetYourGradeOn#heavyequipmentlife

A wireline stuffing box. A stuffing box is an assembly that forms a seal against well pressure around a stationary or moving solid wireline at the upper end of the lubricator during wireline operation. The upper section of the stuffing box contains packing nuts and packing glands that are utilised to increase compression force. In a hydraulic stuffing box, the packing is tightened against the wireline using a hydraulically powered packing nut, whereas in a manual stuffing box, the packing is done manually. The sheave wheel (3600 free movement) with guards installed at the top of the stuffing box provides a passage for wire to enter the well via the stuffing box and lubricator. Benefits: Wire sizes range from 0.092" to 0.125" with a power output of 5,000-15,000. #Wireline #slickling #wellintervention #oilandgas #coiltubing #wellabandonment #opentowork
