Here we replace an blacktop asphalt driveway. We use the mini and Bobcat T66 to remove the old driveway. Then the plate compactor and roller on the sub base.

2 things; former asphalt drum plant operator. Slag is used in some blends, normally 14mm slag for extra grip. Roundabouts for example, with a rubber/asphalt mix. As for the base underneath, i can only assume but it was probably based on availability. 2nd thing, a bloke we worked with was trying to tip off a little bit via the grain chute like that. I think it was a ten wheeler 🇦🇺 (T23 config, twin-steer & 3 axles). The load was stuck and the driver attacked the load through the chute. It came loose, smashed the back gate open and dumped the load of 180c hotmix, burying him up to his tummy.That's induced coma shit right there. Please only do that method on small jobs, only that single axle truck, nothing bigger...and add a second control for the back gate like an extra chain, pins or both. Make sure it cant open, that shit will put you in hospital proper.

Thanks for the advise, hopefully the guy was ok. The tailgate on the truck we used had chains as a back up on each side. Thanks for watching

Base coat like used on town streets is best mix for driveways. Friction coat is the top layer used on state and federal highways where high speeds and high traffic because it is cource which helps displace rain and offers better traction. Not used on city streets because speeds are lower. Base coat material can turn out as flat and smooth as tile and being as tight as it is will last much longer on drives. Always check with plant too see what mix they are running before loading. Just saying.

"Slag" is also called "manufactured stone" or "man-made stone". It's a byproduct of some smelting or refining processes. I used to haul waste dust from a steel recycler foundry to a lead/zinc recovery facility. The leftovers from extracting the lead & zinc was relatively fine & called sand instead of slag, but particle size is the only significant difference.

@readysetsleep Жыл бұрын
It looks more like a shared driveway originally. The fence probably went up because one homeowner was most likely using up more of the driveway. You can politely talk to your neighbor, and they won't listen. Until you end up being proactive delineation of the property line and they start moaning.

He was just running a pre cut fit the groove for the blade. Using two hands offers no advantage. My step dad who retired with 35 years experience in the field used to cut walls up to 3 m high and just barely hold the the handle big of the hand saw as he cut over head wall penetrations. If the bastard bites n kicks at least the saws going over him and falling behind him.

Depends on local codes, weight capacity & bedding surface. Concrete is more load bearing, & asphalt is more of a watershed. That's one reason they did so much compaction work on the bedding.
