Scraper Operations

Catalog description

This course is restricted to students presently studying under the direction and oversight of an approved apprenticeship program, working in partnership with Columbus State Community College. This class will build on the student's abilities to operate a scraper in various configurations. Particular skills will be developed and tested, such as operation of both conventional and self-loading (elevating) scrapers, operation of single-engine and dual-engine scrapers, cutting, filling, and leveling to grade, picking up a grader windrow without disturbing the original grade, building a uniform stockpile, and picking up and delivering large objects (e.g., a stump) with a conventional scraper.
