That’s a Roadtec 190 paver. I spent most of my time running a 190 and on smaller roads the 180 and lived those pavers. Easy to work on/service and very reliable machines. I miss doing asphalt.
Great vid and im excited too see the rest of the road show. I think Aaron you should show more QC stuff on jobs like concrete testing, compaction testing on asphalt and soil and aggregates
"dellkalb avenue" ... and everyone in Atlanta cringes. (It's "Dee-Cab" to locals) As for why repaving Dekalb Ave is such a big deal, for years (if not decades) this road has been neglected until it was basically just one big pothole. The Mayor won his election at least partly by promising to pave this road.
Tell you what...I Hope they are paying the laborers Big Money $$$ to work on that tunneling job... You couldn't pay me enough $$$ to go in that tunnel to work in...PLEASE !
WHAT DO WE WANT?! LONGER VIDEOS!!!! WHEN DO WE WANT THEM?! NOW!!!!
ugh we'll get there

Someone tag Mike Rowe for Someone’s gotta do it! These 2 doing a collaboration would be epic
I've been thinking the same thing. Or at least have as a guest on The Way I Heard It podcast
that would be neat
Lmao the construction workers body language before falling off the wall when the mayor was passing out donuts was perfect
Tunneling under a railroad is no joke. A lot at stake for both client and contractor. Good luck to the crew.
Thanks for doing this! This is awesome and it’s just the start
we've got aaaa looooooot in the works

good tip thanks for watching
10:23 - almost had a runaway dump truck haha 🤣 Been there, done that lol. Never ends nicely!!
You should visit some full size TBM tunnel projects
hopefully one day
@@AaronWittI work for a north American tunneling contractor, I'm on a Canada project these days, but I'm sure someone would host a video like this
You absolutely murdered the street Delkalb. As a GA native I'm offended 😆 🤣. It's Da-cab Avenue 😆 🤣 and yall misspelled it too 😫😭
oopsie
Love the way you said “Dell Cab” ave hahahaah 😂😂😂
yeah I'm not a local
It's so wierd to see Aaron without headgear and high-vis vest. He almost looks like a normal dude... 😁😜🤟
almost note quite
go to norway and check the underwater tunnels they are building now :)
I own a power washing business in Ohio we do some big commercial jobs if you guys are in the area for this roadshow.
out of all of the companies i've seen aaron visit and document. Plateau Excavation in atlanta ga is by far the best at moving dirt by a mile
Delkab, pronounced De-Cab. Also, that road has been crap for years, glad thays happening, lol
As a Georgia boi I was just saying that he said that wrong lol
Pretty please do a collaboration with Mike Rowe. The mans a legend.
7:40 its pronounced “dee cab”
This seems like a very inefficient way to tunnel. Why not have a conveyor belt?
too small

well I can confirm he did it
@@AaronWitt oh it was big news when it actually - finally - happened!!!
Basically coal mining without the coal
I wonder if your wife and kids still miss you Aaron
always
LETS GO JACK
Delkab = da-cab
Tell you what...I Hope they are paying the laborers Big Money $$$ to work on that tunneling job... You couldn't pay me enough $$$ to go in that tunnel to work in...PLEASE !
they're hardcore dudes
I guess you carry frogs in your pockets.
Wait…. So you rented an RV with a Ford drivetrain ? Not a big diesel pusher with Cat power….oh the shame…😔
we're not big time yet
Nah someone tag me lemme show you real worms
Jesus is king god bless
It’s de-kalb not del-kalb
