The Project Story
Some jobs are bigger than one truck.
A general contractor running a water treatment project in Forest Grove had a job that needed multiple trucks moving material simultaneously: 1,000 yards of imported specialty rock stockpiled on site and an odor control basin that needed filling on a tight schedule.
This was the final filter media placement before the basin could be commissioned. Sourced from British Columbia to meet spec. The grade had to come in consistently so the final-grading crew could keep up. And the whole 1,000 yards had to be cleared in two days to stay on schedule.
S1 ran two trucks side-by-side each day in two days — Rob and Warren on Day 1, Warren and Jack on Day 2. Material loaded at the on-site stockpile. Both trucks round-tripped continuously between the stockpile and the basin.
The operators worked from inside the basin, standing on the placed rock, running their trucks remotely from line of sight. They watched the rock land. They adjusted reach, angle, and rate in real time. Two laborers final-graded between loads. The trucks round-tripped, the operators placed, the laborers graded – the work moved continuously.
1,000 yards landed clean in two working days. Odor control basin ready for commissioning.
