TF is all over them?

Looks like that whoresister sauce

Also from today. That's about 85 dump trailer loads in 2 days. Winter shut down is in 45 days, the entire site needs to be at the same grade as the road by then. Compacted it'll be around 14,000 cubic yards of fill with a retaining wall. This is just a temporary road to put a bridge in. It'll be removed and re-sloped and trees re-planted by next year this time. Fill site is roughly 1000' long and 30' deep.

Why is the rock so small?

same reason so much is being spent on a temporary road

government has no incentive to cut cost

They got some decent size stuff in there. An runnin truck on pit rock dont work long Would just think this it the time for all the big shit the pits got on hand to be delivered.

We're getting shot rock. Contractor is getting it cheap unprocessed. It's actually really good material and compacting really well. Mix of 18" minus with silty fines with some big shit that makes it in.

I got handed a design and that's what is going in. I'd have done it different, but here we are. It's a $1.5M temporary road set to be used April to October 2025.

It looks like nice rock! Thats always a nice treat Still that fuckers got an oversize pile somewhere and yall need to scalp that

with it being nicely rolled, that gray stuff looks like washed 3/4 stone

I live 10 miles away and hoping to get several loads of subbase next fall to fix my fucked up driveway

Here's the GRSS wall backfilled with 67 stone. We're going up another 6'. Slick system that goes together quick.

It aint

It is 3/4-1/4. It's wall backfill and road material for the trucks. Grade is steeper than it looks, trucks were spinning out double locked. D6 to the rescue.

 

[Steve300xcw]

D6 to the rescue.

Its not a fucked up job until you gotta drag em in too

 

[Steve300xcw]

those cordless cutoff saw worth a shit?

Seems to work well. They cut the culvert with it. It's quiet too.

I've used the stihl one for some block, concrete and other smaller jobs. Works well and is definitely nicer to run inside a house. It's still a cordless tool so it will bog faster but IMHO it's a kick ass tool to have. Kinda thinking I want one.

 

[Steve300xcw]

I could see it being bad ass for lil zips here an there. Wonder about a bundle of bar though

 

[[486]]

that's cool

it tied back further into the fill with more wire mesh, or is that amount enough to hold?
Imagine that geo mesh keeps everything behind it from putting too much pressure on it...

It cuts bar well. Obviously blade choice plays a role.

 

[Steve300xcw]

no 16" yet?

Geomesh is 20' long and tied to the baskets. The fabric just keeps material from yeeting out.

I can only speak of the stihl and it's smallish. Didn't pay attention to details. Not my saw, used the masons who's a buddy of mine.

forget it. Not interested in the martha stewart hobby lobby type saws............

Yeah, no.


Funny though.

heh
I imagine that the 12" is much more fitting to that cordless use case

an anemic 16" would be much less forgivable than an anemic 12 or 14

Ya know. You can dork the fuck outta something that was kinda funny

 

[TiTRD]

Here's the geo grid pulled out with bracing going in to keep the mesh at 90 degrees. Can also see the 40' culvert extension, which is a 9'-3" train car tank with the ends cut off. Slipped into the 8' culvert built in 1965 and rotted to shit, which is why we're here.

Have you priced large culvert pipe?
