It amazes me how clean you guys work everyday, especially when shit hits the fan. Pumps down, plugged, pipe blown, doesn’t matter. How you guys handle it shows the team are true professionals in this industry. So much can be said about a pump company by how they handle these situations, how they keep their equipment, and how the employees work as a team. Love the content as usual. You’ve got a life long follower here in the swamps of Louisiana! With only 3 years running a boom, I’ve been observing everything.

I really do appreciate that brother. It sure does make a situation like this a lot easier to deal when there’s a second guy with the pump. I’m hoping that our market eventually evolves to the point in which we send an oiler out with these big-booms. My bet is that it would go along ways in terms of the industry retaining operators as well.

Nice video of getting it sorted though, I've never really bothered with the piece of timber, more tape, more better, if the split is 200mm long, I wanna tape (ideally) 5-600mm of pipe, thickest where the split it but supported either side We also used to keep snap clamps ground back with a steel plate who's I'd fits snugly over the od of the pipe, few rounds of tape to seal it and throw the repair clamp over to hold the split down We used to run every pipe and elbow till they wore though though...

If that’s the roughly 6” length of half diameter 5” pipe and two 5” U-bolts kit which you’re rendering to, yes, they would come in super handy, except for when the pipe blows in a precarious spot (which it often does) and the patch won’t fit in between pipe hangars etc…, but definitely something worth having on the pump. This is literally the first time in history which we’ve have a standard 3M length pop like this. For us it’s always the short makeup lengths (and typically not the ConForms branded stuff) which burn up well before the 3M lengths do… except for in this case of course 😂😂😂. We actually do have at our yard a set of telescoping length pipes which were marketed under the name “backup pipe” (perhaps a future video) They worked decent, but definitely weren’t the be all/end all in pipe repair, which we’d hoped they would. That patch kit you mentioned would have worked a charm here for sure 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
