those of you in site utilities, or concrete work, please take the time to answer these questions. if you would, quote this post, and answer behind each question. thanks in advance.
in south dakota, our typical drop inlets/catch basins (2' x 3') inside, (3' x 4') outside or (3' x 4') inside, and (4' x 5') outside. my travels around the united states, i've seen tens of thousands of these.
#1. do you cast the inlets in place?
#2. do you buy your inlets precast from an outside vendor?
#3. do you precast at your own shop site and haul to site and install?
#4. those of you that cast in place, how much would you estimate your forming costs are? DO NOT include the cost of the concrete, or rebar. PLEASE INCLUDE your labor, plywood, screws, nails, dump fees for used/damaged form plywood, etc. i'm just asking for an off the top of your head number here, please waste no time looking up this for me!
#5. after stripping the inlets, do you attempt to save any of the plywood, etc, or just throw away and start with new forming material.
#6 if you try to save it, what percentage roughly are you able to reuse?
thank you so very much for your time helping me with this!
