The city got to keep people employed

Do you live in winnipeg?

It's not a hard concept to understand, they build the cheapest way possible so their budget look good for that year, they don't care if it has to be re-done in a couple year, chance are that it will be someone esle in charge who have to deal with the problem all over again

@@wD-io9nd I live in a small town 850 ppl the town gives you a 50k bill if the water line breaks Infront of your house.

😂

right 😂

I’ve worked asphalt. We seriously spent 2-3x the time waiting for trucks than working

He's trying to get them to join the union. Lol

He dint no jack

You ever stand on 350 degree asphalt in the the dead of summer yep we were standing around waiting for this shit to cool off Minute so we can get to making roads and driveway and parking lots look at all the roads in America we all sit on our asses alright,go do that job and the say that buddy,ive done the job,,swear more sweat than you will ever see comes off ya.lmao, sure glad I don't do it no more

When will we get that next drip ??

Most people use the word asphalt for roads, white asphalt (or bitumen) is actually the binder that's used in asphalt concrete roads. The experiment uses the binder, not actual road.

The experiment uses a different from of tar than is used on asphalt, but it's still a fun fact lol

Drip gang where u at

Yeah but how do you know its a fluid if no one has ever observed it dripping?

Exactly what I was thinking, hitting it with that little 3 1/2 ham roller 😅. That's probably a BP mix sitting in the low 90% or high 80%'s in density.

And he said they are done at end of clip but no top coat? Lol

@@AbeTweakinyeah I didn’t see the top layer. The guy who made this video is new at construction but experts in edits. It was definitely not the owner or foreman who made this post

I work on this field, and we just call it a paver

Experienced asphalt business owner sometimes certain streets need to sit for year or so before putting top coat on depending on various situations for doing this ​@aceaye07

You would dump it In a pile and feed the paver around the cul-de-sac... a truck would not get in there.

Dobrze mówisz. A do tego układanie nawierzchni na piach a nie na kruszywo lub betonową podbudowę jest błędem

Yes that's right and the paver pushes the truck forward as necessary,and the guys on the machine set the grade and the right machine moves forward on its own,it's the same with concrete hiways as well,

And it really depends have you ever seen a company pave a driveway inthe mountains oh my let the fun begin,you have no idea it's comical how fast shit starts snow balling ,truck won't make it up the hill your paving that's where the tractor comes in,and then the machine won't go up the hill tame tractor an lift the paver a bit so it will go up the hill and then pissant bucket after bucket and then the restbof the fun begins,roller won't make it up so the whole drive way gets wacked with a wacker ,flat asphalt is a dream compared to mountain asphalt

And if you do a parking lot a county is there with there broken Thermometer and it doesn't say it hot throw a burrito on if it's done in a few minutes 350degrees if takes more time 300 any lower they make you haul the pile you Judy dropped after driving fortymiles now you take it your yard and pave your parking lot shhh don't let the county

That’s why pavers are the best.

We did both and we could never figure out what my boss would have us pave the driveway and landscape next stupid

Gfym

They do it all the time in the midwest, so all the heavy trucks and equipment don't destroy the brand new roads and curbs as they're building the neighborhood. So they leave them as temporary gravel or TB (traffic bond) roads until all the lawns are sodded.

@@dong6839 weird, I’ve never seen it even heard of that. I know I’m the northwest we do all the utilities then inspect water and sewer. Roads are next then once everything is passed off by the city inspectors they allow permits to start building homes. Just different I guess. Thanks for the info.

@@idahohusker7655 come to think about it.. all of my experience with this was when a single developer owned the entire subdivision and was selling the individual lots themselves. This could be why they were done like this perhaps. Personally I think the end result is a much nicer product since all the homes are built, all the sod is laid, and there are no more heavy trucks or equipment entering the neighborhood when they start pouring the curbs and asphalt, so once the street is in, it looks pristine, and it doesn't end up all covered in dirt and gravel from that one, unfinished, lot at the far end of the subdivision that has had a bunch of truck traffic coming and going over the past 3 months as the built the house. My sister was one of the first to build in her neighborhood, and she dealt with mud and stone covered streets for the first 5 years they lived there.

@@dong6839 I agree it would definitely turn out better in the end.!

@@dong6839. I did roofs in new subdivisions for years. Usually they put down binder, a coarse layer of asphalt. That is left like that thru the heavy building stages. Digging, construction, landscaping. Then surface layer of asphalt is laid as finished product. As the other commenter said, so it looks nice.

Lol. Just looks like they aren’t doing anything because they’re good at what they do. In this case it was because the plant was at full capacity. Either way the was done in less than 4 hours with a 4 man crew.

It could that the plant is far away, or slow loading the trucks.

I was trying to work out why they didn't dump into the box myself. A lot of double handling.

Loading it for the cul de sac part is faster and easier. And then push the trucks out on straights. Also that little roller was still getting 96 and 97% compaction. It has to be tested.

​@@head7502Doing housing developments and cul-de-sacs are side work for our paving company, as we mainly do state and turnpike work, but even in cul-de-sacs, we never have issues dumping into the paver. Typically you either lay out your passes differently, or you fill the paver from the truck, and then move the paver into position until you're empty.

@@MrCooper89 I’m happy for you and your company that your so successful that our type of work is just “side job” stuff. But we don’t have issues loading it into the paver from the truck. It just takes more time to get a dump pull a short pass move over get another dump pull a short pass over and over. This is much faster and smoother for the Matt as we don’t pick up and sit down the screed a dozen times. Once out of the sharp turns we push all the trucks. But what ever works for anybody is fine with me as long as the end result is nice. I’ve been paving for over 20 years and still amazes me that people think you have to do it one way or you have to have the biggest roller you can find. Everything we do has to be compaction tested and grade checked by a city inspector.

@@head7502 It's literally "side work". Sorry about your feelings. If your only concern is gaining a paycheck, then so-be-it. Excuse your bad practices. The fact is that you're compromising the integrity of that material by introducing additional steps in handling, all of which will contribute to the segregation of the mix, making it less homogeneous in its final placement. Get butthurt because you're being criticized by those of us who know more than you and have a better understanding of the quality control that nationally recognized paving companies maintain in order to stand out from the rest. I've met plenty of idiots in this industry who have "tWeNtY yEaRs In AsPhAlT", but still don't know what the hell they're doing. That means absolutely nothing. They're usually the ones being bought out by companies like mine, not the other way around. Wow. City inspectors. That's crazy. Except, city inspectors are some of the least experienced in asphalt placement practices. These are people who are likely spending 1%-5% of their time dealing with something like paving, let alone are they dedicating any real effort into running systemic testing on your materials to verify that segregation isn't occurring and density checks are also of no meaning unless you're the one making the material as third party suppliers are always going to provide you the best possible GMM in order for their material to appear as if it's performing optimally.

In America there are private subdivisions that are made by developers that buy a lot of land and put houses on and since the land is privately owned the developers have to make the roads on their own and half the time they do it the cheapest way ( same with the houses )and sell all the land before it becomes a problem

They build roads to specifications necessary for the expected traffic of ant given road. It's not about doing it as cheap as possible, but weighing cost with needs. No sense in paving something to withstand 3 million ESALs when it's a light residential roadway.

This is the foothills. All sand and rocks the size of your head. I promise you it will be hear the next 20 years. Ground does don’t sink or pump in this area. Please show us how to do it better.

I was wandering the same thing.. right the one lose sand... In couple of months the first cracks start to appear because the layer starts shifting

And it's only about 2.5" of asphalt as well?! Where I'm from that wouldn't last through fall to see it's first winter! We pour at least twice that depth for cycle/walking paths, and even those are heaved by spring.

most roads you drive just have 3/4in gravel and a bit of compaction as the base and 3 and 1/2 inches of asphalt is put on top of that not much is needed to make a solid road!

Typically a reason they don't use binder really depends on the mix of asphalt that they use some don't need binder.

It’s just a dead end residential street, only cars will drive on it. It’s fine. It’s basically a driveway.

this is America, so nah

Technically asphalt is flexible pavement

You dump and load with bobcat to do the small areas Of the turn arounds.

@@macsway2002 I know when we do cul de sacs we will have the truck set up with the body in the air and the paver will come to us a lot of times you can get a trailer in a circle easier then a tri axle depending on the size

@@matthewjackson7870so your a truck driver that doesn’t even do asphalt and you’re commenting on how to do it? Lol. It’s easier and faster to load the first truck for the radius and push the rest of the street out.

@@head7502 lol actually I do I have 20 years of experience doing it 10 years on a Paver as a screw operator and then 10 years as a driver

@@matthewjackson7870 that’s weird because if you did then you would know you load the hopper with asphalt and not the screed. You would also know how much faster and easier this is.

Are you dumb? Im in calgary and correctly done asphalt lasts about 20 years, sure youre gonna need to patch potholes but you wont have to "redo" it for about 20 years

Especially since that base didn't look like it was compacted near enough.

Bro I’m not sure we’re watching the same video

Ya same video dude looks like binder they laid down plus he is right and inch or so away from the curb pan so ya gonna take another layer of surface

@@jakesloat2073 yea I’m gonna take the L on that one lol you’re right it’s not top coat

Small companies can't usually get more than 2 trucks. Big ones takes all.

Whats wrong with it?

Asphalted for 30yrs and totally agree with you… The base looks loose dusty and no tack!! I was going to say I can’t believe how bad some of the roads are in the US, new subdivisions only a couple of years old and all the roads are cracked up like crazy!! I thought maybe they were only laying 25mm but this job looks pretty deep for a cul-de-sac, look like 50mm or there abouts… So I guess all the cracking I see on US roads is because the base isn’t prepared properly not because the asphalt is to thin… Also are doing 2 lifts here or is it just me?? Doesn’t look like the matched the gutter🤔🤔

@@MMCPN It is crushed stone, doesn't need tack.

@@tonya5818 yeah right, ok👍🏾 I guess that’s why your roads don’t last, and within a few years they’re all cracked up!!… Here in NZ and Australia (I’ve worked both country’s) unless it’s a deep lift ( 200+ mm) with say 3 or more layers (lifts) we don’t tack the base either but we tack ever other layer above, if it’s only 1 lift we always use tack on the base whether it’s base course/ crushed rock or an already sealed or asphalted road… And that’s in all types of weather from 40° summers to -5° winters… Amazing how different regulations can be within the same industry!! Although we’re 17000km apart I’d say our weather is similar in certain areas…

​@@MMCPN Im no from US? Im from north europe, and our weather is winters -30c to +30 and everything between that and my work lasts just fine. Tacking stone ground sounds impossible to me because stones stucks on trucks tires and flies into the windshields of cars coming behind. Or course we use emulsion when paving to the old asphalt.

Dump and go so driver can get another load

It took less than 4 hours start to finish to do this job with 4 guys. Let’s see your crew do that.

@@head7502 mine for sure could we yay 1000+ tons in a day with 8 people

⁠@@zacharymurray8565wow. You’re so cool. I bet you’re the only guy in America that can do that lol. Every other company here in California does a 1000 tons with a 8 man crew. It all depends on the crew and the job. I have put 2300 tons through a leeboy 8520 in 8 hours. Not that hard when it’s thick and straight. Doesn’t make anyone special.

Correct...

Along with the 1 or 2 more lifts of asphalt lol

They probably had it tarped before the video

Very rarely do i see that. Usually the plant is close enough that it doesn't have enough time to cool simply because of it's mass

Its not a pothole patrol day, its the paving of the street. Hot boxes are for keep a few ton hot all day and go around doing stupid jobs that need done. These guys are already having trouble with enough trucks, they dont need to slow it down more.

Na, so long as she’s tarped it’ll stay warm for a couple of hours!! Looks like a nice warm summers day to…
