I am never new so much went into making a road

Fldot has a different process 12in stabilizer 11base rock 3.25 asphalt

yes.

Me I am a 10 years old girl

I'm watching this vid cuz my country Indonesia doesn't make good roads. So i wanna see how America make roads.

Thanks Hunter, I was wondering what slurry was. Here in the Chicago are we never see slurry used.

This slurry is a blend of cement, water, some Class C ash, and an admixture that keeps the solids in suspension and prevents hydration from beginning until it is mixed. It is a very revolutionary way of soil reclamation, stabilizing, and treatment.

@@munsickmatt Thanks Matt. I saw someone doing this (wasn't able to record) and was wondering what they were doing.

Its a great way to put all the slurry accumulated at the coal power generating plants to some use.

@00justSomeAccount00 not cheaper. It's often used in conjunction with soil tests; ie.. moisture water content or permeability. Soil stabilization is the reason for this. Your road is only as good as your sub base and base material. And, your sub base is only as good as the sub grade.

Seems expensive...

@@Kni0002 It is indeed, as a general rule of thumb the cost of constructing a standard four-lane motorway to these specifications is about EUR 25000/meter -- USD 9000/foot. But what can you do, in the past we have seen roads built to lower standards seriously deteriorated after the first winter. On smaller roads with lower speed limits the standards aren't quite as high, as you can tolerate a bit more uneven surface, but even there the drainage layer is between one and two meters.

If it means the roads will last though the harsh winters then I guess its worth it, better then replacing the road every few years.

Building it right the first time is cheaper. Having to rebuild the road every couple years is expensive and creates traffic flow problems. This video was shot in Kansas, and even though we dont get much rain in kansas, we deal with alot of freezing and thawing, so they really should have built foot or two thick drainage layer underneath. I always hate seeing asphalt laid directly instead of on concrete or a proper drainage bed.

@@isaachousley325 why drainage under a water tight road surface ?

Karem f it amazing how much work often goes into creating our modern infrastructure :)

Djk31💍❤💏💚💍

Yea sometimes just thinking about how many men it took and how many years it took to build modern infrastructure is mind blowing

むく and most of it in the last century (road construction)

the music was terrible. it was the same melody repeated over and over and over!!!

Rent vs. own.. it's the same in the railway industry... they rent you the old crappy stuff. Own FTW

sometimes renting is better, if you own it and you break something its all out of pocket. renting you can get a machine swapped out in a day or less and youll be running without the extra costs. they both have their place

Same here

I'm curious, do they usually put asphalt on top of dirt? That seems a little prone to potholes

@@davidanalyst671 We use a base gravel, which locally we call 32 Base. It is a mixture of crushed rock and fines, as well as a binder, which is usually clay. One the gravel is down we tack oil the entire surface to be paved, it protects the surface from rain, and helps the asphalt bind to the gravel. In order to pave over the gravel we compact it for consecutive hours, usually 2 passes with a double steel roller. Once vibrating, and once static. Then we wet the gravel and hit it with a wobbly(multiple tire packer) for hours, adding water. We do this for every lift of gravel we put on as well. Last few projects I've done were 300mm of 32 base. It gets hard, so hard that a fully loaded semi doesn't even deflect it. You can do a literal burnout on the surface and it wont tear into the surface.

@@LLImprovement my dawg. you answered me without BSing me and calling me a communist!!! First person today. You should do a vid on this so I can see it. the only reason I asked was because this particular video looked like they dumped asphalt on dirt.

@@davidanalyst671 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ntCCgtaktcnbiGg.html Here's a playlist of a project I did years ago. Doesn't show everything as I was actively working on site. But it gives you a good idea of how we do it. This intersection was one of the busiest in our entire city so it was a rush job. But still to this day the road hasn't moved an inch. Usually the paths where the heavy trucks stop and drive are ruts. But 6 and a half years later its still good. That's what happens when we put as much slag and geotextile material down as we did. That was the only project we did in my time that was done properly and correctly. The rest have been skimped on.

Yea sure is! Here they put down a foot of base gravel then the asphalt....

@@kravis_6131 by the sun and the moon and the stars I'll be there

I believe a majority of the work is planning, utility work, and surveying. Soil treatment and structure might take a while too when actual machines role out.

Good question, i was wondering the same, probably its a low density road but with time it will have to crack.

@@mafv4091 If it doesn't go under 0 celsius it will last a long time, but it will crack soon enough because it's not that stiff.

Yeah...no

Paint with white to reflect heat.. america is doing it

Reflection will increase more heat as the uv rays comes direct from the ozone layers holes and the reflected rays does not go back it remains inside the ozone layer so we should stop pollution first 😕

global warming is a hoax !!

yawn...

Dave Stinson It’s a mix of flyash (burnt coal ash) and water. When mixed with dirt, after it dries, it makes the dirt harder and more water resistant.

Thanks for that.

The dark liquid is SuperSlurry a liquefied type II Portland cement. This is the ground stabilization. We directly inject it into the ground using our patented system which allows us to measure and evenly distribute the slurry. It is a much more efficient process.

T'airn'KA that machine or one similar does 99% of the roads where I live

kewl and where is that? ;-)

Asphalt milling machines are all over.

T'airn'KA bro it's called "asphalt reclamation" we been doing it here on the nys Thruway for probably 20 years

T'airn'KA not new by ANY MEANS! technology has definitely gotten a lot better but still it's been around for a long time

Ok

seriously, how about a little BTO since these guys clearly know how to TCB

Bentonite clay (I think) and it serves to make the underlying soil more stable. Search Wirtgen (the company that makes the machine) here, that might get you more detail.

Try 20 years over by mine. They just finished it this year and it really was only because of Exxon

No clue sounds like a pretty bad deal. Sorry to hear about your luck we would have had it done in no time flat.

Corruption

because of inflation. if they do the job now, it costs 100,000, but if they do it in 5 years, that gets knocked down by inflation to 80,000 but they got paid today

I know Andale in Spanish means hurry up but the reason we have our name is that the family comes from the city of Andale Kansas. Quality is our number one concern always. Build it right and build it tough.

The white machine is a Wirtgen soil stabilizer, the yellow machine is a Caterpillar grader.

Looks like a rototiller type of machine, appears to make the soil light and fluffy. The finer a material the better it can be compacted

The microcracking concept can be defined as the application of several vibratory roller passes to the cement treated base at a short curing stage, typically after one to three days, to create a fine network of thin cracks
