I love seeing these machines work. Every time I pass one, I turn into a 3 year old and want to stop and watch.

Thanks for a great narrative and no obnoxious whacko music. Most educational. We use triaxel dump trucks as we can fill the whole box.

I learned how the worn out road asphalt is used. Great video!

Thanks for explaining the difference between milling and profiling

Excellent presentation. I was an inspector working with many building materials and structures. I learned more about my job over the years from the contractors who actually did the work then anyone else.

I am currently taking the course of Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation, we have practiced a lot with this content, thanks a lot appreciate it.

Very informative content here. I'm going to school for construction management and this is the industry that interests me the most. Thanks for the video.

Very nice video! I’ve been interested in this process since I was very young, and now I’m finally learning how it actually works.

Interesting video. I liked the shot of the cutting head. Very similar to the cutter on underground continuous miner.

Something to add from a safety standpoint... Never, ever stand behind the mill when the drum is down. Every once in a blue moon, the track leveling system drops the drum too fast and the machine will take off backwards FAST on the drum, usually throwing the operator off the machine. It then becomes a runaway machine. That's one of the reasons there are so many emergency stop switches on the machines.

Clean the spray tip on spray bar. Clean the tips on the lower conveyor the two clean the two tips on the upper conveyor, clean the two tips for the spray for the fan that should be on so there’s no dust. I ran a milling machine for 25 years.

I remember seeing, somewhere between 40 and 50 years ago, a roadworking machine that was an all-in-one road resurfacing machine. The road in front of the machine was all crappy and pitted, etc, and the road behind it was nice pristine steaming asphalt road surface. Never did find out why it didn't become widely used, or if it's even used at all.

Very informative thanks guys

I really like the sound of the engine when the operator switches on the part which activates the milling drum to process the milling of the asphalt. So quiet that I don't even sense the activation of the engine.

good job.nice match.we mill in pa with older cmi.great machine.we have to mill out a section with 5 inches of concrete, 4 inches of ashfalt, and 2 inches of dirt and stone.total of 11 inches in one pass.did half last year and the rest this year.alot to take out

super video,génial le systéme des bennes pour vider.

👍😉. Awesome.

Man, I would LOVE to do this out here in California. I already have my Class A. Had it for about 6 years. I want to reach out to my local Union for this.

Appreciate you making this video. I’m working on airport taxiways and runways and needed to get an idea of what is actually going to be happening on this side of things. Glad I now have an idea of what I’ll be looking at!

Here I am sitting in my cubicle wishing I was operating a big ass construction machine!

Here in New England as there is a lot of milling and repaying why don’t they off set the lane they pave so the lane gaps aren’t on top,of each other ? Nice video and very informative. Thanks

Thanks. I learned a lot.

Flagged here in tn. for Highways inc., Patty Construction, Weeks Paving, and Phaltless in Chatt. Need a GOOD set of flaggers to keep the traffic away. Lots of fun, can be very dirty especially if the miller runs out of water.

Truly beautiful

thank you for making this video, I am a graduate civil Eng, this made a lot of sense.thank you again

Just retired from pavement recycling in the United States. We operate the machine and depth control with only the top operator. I count three men on the ground.

Great commentary one of the reasons I subbed hope to see more from you.

Very nice video!!!!

Very informative video, great job to you! My only concern is that too many of the workers weren't wearing any dust masks.

i use to roll with the mill….one company that i’d haul the milling for in FL was a jerk he wouldn’t taper it and you’d get that drop off or huge bump at the end ✌🏻

1 Caterpillar Skidsteer that is yellow with black and orange stripes and has a brush on the front of it and the number on the Skidsteer is 2720 .

One of these machines is operating right past my house as I watch this.

Pretty cool Ober. I bet Gunther could do that with just his Kubel, Lol!

I love seeing road construction and hope yall get a lot of money from the infrastructure bill.

15:22 I don't think I've seen that often. Usually they just leave a bump. In reality, it's miniscule if you are used to driving on dirt and gravel roads, but some traffic treats it like a cliff and goes 1/2MPH.

That's the only job I hated driving dumps for many years, most of us did--damn milling. You couldn't crawl slow enough for those damn machines back in the day. Even in granny, you'd have to push in the clutch, let it out slow and the guy would make the slow down sign again. That's the only time I ever needed a clutch adjustment in my life was when there was a milling job lasted a month! Whole fleet needed clutch adjustments!! For you kids out there who have only drove the automatics, we most of us never used our clutch except to put her in gear....and the DAMN MILLINGS!! LOL!! Hell, I miss hauling asphalt so much I wouldn't bitch about a milling job never again!! Would of been nice to have an automatic, MILLINGS Made Easy.

Great Video, thank you for making it, I've learned a lot !!!

Great video on an otherwise obscure subject.

I noticed the road base layer (in its milled/planed state) below the running surface also had cracks running through the pavement. The new matt may start to show similar signs of failure in the not to distant future. You may need to plane/mill deeper, as there appears to be a problem at a deeper level.

What's with the lack of traffic control? That's a major hazard for these workers unchecked.

This was so helpful for me man thanks for the video bro

How thick of asphalt pavement can you remove from a single pass?

That dust can’t be good for those people who are working

Wow

My question is. What do they do with the old asphalt? Does it get colored darker, reconditioned and put back on the road?

That's the easy way, guy don't have to keep start and stop...but when you had a bunch of Tri-axles, it was tough on the driver.

No obvious concerns about the amount of dust generated. Once this dust hits the lungs, it’s there for good!

Help.......I have a concrete driveway, previous owner put asphalt over the concrete.......can the asphalt be stripped back down to the concrete?

It's kind of funny how the narrator pronounces asphalt as "ash-phalt" rather then as "ass-phalt." Otherwise, a very interesting video. 😉

What's the pay rate for the loafers standing around with their hands in their pockets? Where do I apply?

Tighten them holders up

How many times can you recycle that asphalt?

Is that asphalt going to be recycled or just left there?

In Australia we sideload semi trailers to make use of the room up front in the bin

Noice

Eu não falo inglês tem como fazer uma tradução pra português

How much does it cost do that for a small dirt driveway?

Been on lots of these jobs, by the way the tailings are ECO-inert, so no special handling as it rains. most plants reuse a % into the mix as it saves money, the oil aka asphalt didn't go anywhere its in the tailings.

What is the forecast for paving the entire highway?

Anyone know what those two large diameter hose lines are on either side if the conveyor? The black ribbed hoses.

I can smell this video

What is there immediately below the milled asphalt layer? Its that a pavement of reinforced cement concrete or cement treated base or something else?

How many teeth on the cutting head?

I gave up on this because there was absolutely nothing happening initially...

Pls what is the name of this mechine

Don’t put the asphalt through a screen, it removes the fines….put it through a small crusher, set to between 1/2 inch and and 1 inch. You will get 100% re-usable material ….goes down better and compacts way better …. All round nice video

HEY IS WHAT HEY IS A

ya asphalt. there’s another one my resume could land

Try 14 hr days milling 3 miles to dead end were from New Albany Indiana😂💪🏽

1 Red Dump Truck with a black trailer 2 White Dump Trucks with black trailers and 1 Dump Truck that is Light Blue with Dark Blue stripes and says Kingston on it .

Ober447 - very important question/request for you, I am finishing up a construction safety video, part of which ties in with silicosis - for those who breathe in way too much dust from the ground, breaking rocks, concrete, or this crushed concrete - the very common dust crystalline silica - though I've noticed people really have to breathe in a ton of the dust over a period of years - or extreme exposures like the breathing in the dust from the twin tower collapse to get an issue from only single exposures. But anyways - I was needing to find some footage of someone milling asphalt to illustrate the crystalline silica that is kicked up in that task also - would I have permission to incorporate just a small bit of the clip showing the miller kicking the dust up? I can include just parts where you aren't talking. Just let me know if that would be okay. I do intend to sell this/strategically give it away for free to those who need it. In exchange for this - I can give the final product to you at a highly discounted rate if you are looking for a modern construction safety video (mostly specific to concrete construction) including modern medical treatments. In any case just let me know if that would be okay. Thanks you for your time

hats of boys that job told me to go back to trade school never ever again il do paving

Just like that

Why do many mispronounce the word asphalt? It is pronounced ( as-fault) not (ash- fault) .

Change some teeth too pattern looks bad hopefully they have the grade up a few clicks so when they take that shoulder pass at full depth there is no ridge and they better run the petntiometer or slope cause that shoulder is definitely higher than 2 inches

Zero traffic control?

Dun many any miles of this..easy peasy..night work was the challenge...

‏إنني سواق عليها كيف يمكنني آتي إلى المانيا وكم راتبها

По моему держатели открутились. На старте.

Where the hell is flag person .big lack of safety

I trust qq

Asphalt. Not ASHphalt.

THE PROBLEM DOSENT RECICLED THE RAP 100%

What the farthest that thing can dog down to

I thought that the safety geek in the green hard hat was going to get run over at 7:00. He had very poor situational awareness.
