Renovation Canal St

Watching things get cleaned spotlessly by experts is one of the most satisfying types of videos out there. In that regard, viewing this video came completely without any form of satisfaction.

The legend says they are still there today. That was painful to watch, wrong equipment, no idea what they were doing and badly executed. It was almost like it was their first time dealing with water logged material.

It is immensely satisfying to watch a video about a group of highly trained and hard working professionals, however this is not one of those.

The guy on the tractor was the worst laziest bastard going most frustrating video I’ve ever seen

At this rate they're going to be at it for the next 20 years.

Good lord, give me a teaspoon and I’ll have the Everglades drained faster.

Bloke in the white tractor is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike...

hire the duck, he seems to be getting more done

Wherever this muck wound up and after all the chunks of metal and debris are removed the grass is the greenest it has ever been and the plants are glorious. Here in Arizona, USA we have a very extensive system of water canals. They are about thirty meters wide and are cleaned regularly. The material moved is mostly dirt and silt. It is trucked directly to the farmers who spread it on the fields. This is tough on fish living in them but great for the crops. The big canals bring our water from the Colorado River. That river is a three hour drive from Phoenix at a constant 75 miles per hour or around 230 miles away. It passes across desert 🌵 and during cleaning the sand is simply deposited aside the canal. It is up to 70 meters across. To get over the occasional mountain the siphon system is used. This was discovered by the Romans centuries ago and works here today.

I'm sure a couple of loaders or bulldozers pushing the mud to a central location would have been a faster way of doing this. Probably cheaper too...

It is amazing that the world over people always chuck shopping trolleys into canals. Even if there are no supermarkets for miles.

You can tell that they work for the city no big hurry

watching this is torture, no wonder jobs like this cost so much, unbelievable

This is how you take a 3 day job and turn it into 3 months of traffic inconvenience.

This video was a great pick-me-up. Haven't laughed so hard in a long time. These guys should slow it down a little!

This is all for show, someone somewhere can say “look at us , see how much we did.” This is why most city’s hire contractors to handle big jobs. They are paid by the job not the hour.

Some vacuum tankers wild be far more efficient.

I would have expected that in 28+ minutes they would have removed all the bikes, buggies and the bathtub but all they accomplished was to move some sludge around and that was all on the mini-excavator driver the white tractor was as useless as mirrors on a lawn mower. Perhaps he's the mayors nephew.

The Japanese would have had that done in ten minutes. Mega resource quick end time.

I agree with you guys. Even I know they got the wrong equipment. That smaller piece can work in my backyard. I know this can't be the USA.
