By Nick and John Capachi. This new edition of a trusted reference has been completely updated to keep excavating contractors, operating engineers, and those learning the trade current with state-of-the-art equipment usage and the most efficient excavating and grading techniques. Whether you're already in the business, or planning to take the leap, this book borrows from years of down-in-the dirt experiences of trusted authority, Nick Capachi. It's an encyclopedia of excavating and grading knowledge, including photographs and diagrams that illustrate just how the work should be done. n these pages you'll learn how to read topo maps, set crows feet, install water, drain, and sewer pipes, lay or remove asphaltic concrete, use a laser level, cut drainage channels, pressure-test sewer pipes, and use GPS and sonar for absolute precision. No jobsite is without problems. Knowing how to deal with these problems, or how to prevent them, can save you hours -- even days. In this practical manual, the authors guide you through just about every difficulty you'll find on a job site. You'll find procedures and essential job-sequencing techniques that can make or break a job, plus pointers for tough situations that other earthwork instruction manuals don't want to tackle. EW in this edition: GPS -- Global Positioning System -- a time-saving survey and grade-control tool installed on much of the heavy equipment you'll be using. Also includes use of sonar technologies. Using these two technologies will save you time and money on most of your jobs. Testing is the best way to learn, so each chapter ends with a set of review questions. This is an excellent resource for the experienced operator seeking to brush up, or any trainee preparing to take the license exam.
