- today the road will be getting its first of 2 layers of blacktop. today at the #smithroadconstruction project. "Granite construction" as well as some other hauling companies are hauling in fresh asphalt in dump trucks.
the first few clips of paving are where they are paving the sections they ripped out (where there were big stress cracks) and then the rest of the road. in total, they paved about half a mile of the road...up and down.
I hope you enjoy this video. let me know if you have any questions
thanks!! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Nothing like the smell of hot asphalt in the morning!!
Nobody does asphalt hot paving better than the Australians Highway crews , absolute masters
Reminded me of my summers as an engineering assistant with Jackson County Public Works in Oregon. I spent four summers working paving projects and surveying for the county (89, 90, 91 and 92). Those four summers were some of the best summers of my life.
Very cool! I would love to do this for a job one day as a exavator operator. Even was able to talk to the roller operator a s now know we're I need to go (think union 302 in ellensburg WA) very cool, thanks for watching
Been there done that in Texas for a couple years, loved the job but a bigger company bought us out and I didn't like it after that as much, I can remember well having to spray the bed down with diesel after emptying out in front of the lay down machine then pulling off the side of the road to spray, then back to the plant for another load of asphalt, we could only go about 75 miles out before the asphalt would start to set up in the bef and believe me you don't want that, it's like having to chop a hiway out the trailer no fun whatsoever. Some good memories.
Wow...that's a cool memory. Yes I was wondering what they keep spraying on everything until my papa (grandpa) who was in the construction business told me that it was diesel. Yes I think that this plant was fairly close.... figure that, each truck would do a round trip every 30-45min. I remember the county guy telling me where it was coming from but can't remember at the moment.
Hey thanks for watching...sounds like this video brought back some of what was mostly good memories!
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups no problem it was very intertaing.

What does Kl mean?
Now that green dump truck is a true dump truck
A quint with a pusher
Looks like a 365 pete
@@waynemaciejewski9764 looks closer to a super dump
It is a super dump
Smells like Victory
HEAVY EQUIPMENT 💯 TOP new freind 👍👍
I love this kind of work
Me too
I went with my dad years ago, sick as it is love the smell of farmac
Hot rocks!
nice job amazing thanks
Thank you
Had the trailer brake handle plumbed in to the truck brake system on my 84 900B transfer, so much easier to stay with the paver!
Really. I bet that did help!
Screed lays a nice mat though you need a new heating elements in your boot or shoe on extension
I love to smell freshly asphalt
I do too! I love it
I love the video
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
0o
Good😄
Got a group of good ol boys here doing everything the hard/incorrect way 🤪
Keep in mind this also is just the first pass, although can't say much, don't know a lot about paving myself
Crazy I stripe after they pave I normally follow ajax pavers
God I run a crew for milling n have the 210i model I love it thinking about starting my dump truck business any tips?
I’d like to be a laborer on this job…no raking minimal shoveling and not a hand roller in sight
i like the video
Thanks
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups your welcome
That verge needs clearing out completely
True rookie, i would've lowered my bed enough to not tear off the skirts of the paver, but immediately raised my bed up (while rolling)to spread my left overs out evenly, leaving the dump man with nothing to shovel down, but I'm a Pro, who cares what i think .only 28 years in raising dump bodies. You tell me if I'm wrong. Sure I'm nitpicking, i get that.
Yeah this is just how they did it. Everyone has there own ways I geuss
Yeah and you probably would have forgot to put your box back down and took out some wires
@@mikedz4702 hate much?
Hiw hard is it to dump asphalt? How do you know when to raise or lower bed? I imagine someone is giving hand signals?
If the paving company had super dumps to haul asphalt, less trucks would be required. Honestly, they should be grinding out old asphalt layers over the entire distance and starting over from just above the base. But they look to be doing a great job and leaving a smooth road.
Yes....this company does have some super dumps but the plant isint that far (and Im not going to complain seeing the sweet paint jobs on some of these trucks). I talked to the Foreman and can't exactly remember what he was saying but they were just grinding out the really bad spots on the road (but keep in mind they did about 4 miles of road with a few layers in only a couple of weeks) also they would have to dig up a lot of road....my papa (grandpa) who lived in this area for about 20yrs said there is almost a foot of asphalt that's been built up over the years. Yes they did an awesome job. Granite is one of the best paving companies around...was even able to get leads from them to start my construction carrier I hope as an exavator operator.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment
If they cut deeper it costs more money and need more asphalt to replace it obviously, but really if the road is'nt coming apart you really don't want to cut that deep and disturb the ground anymore than you have to. You take a chance on hitting soft spots that once disturbed won't ever compact right and water springs also.
@@rusttrail3 i was taught to dig out the soft spots and spend the money to fix it so the road won't need repair that sort of repair in the future. But it depends on whether the road is public or private.
@@andrewbrenneman9592 yeah I agree, but we have a city road here that they milled up the same way that went under a railroad trestle and they hit a small water spring and when they were done the water was coming up through the new pavement, that was probably 20 years ago and it still does.
Yes, they have been repairing this road for my knowledge the last 10 years since the last paving.
But yes this is a very busy road
Where are the rubber rollers? How can they even get densities?
Granite Const. is big where I am, also.
Yes all throughout the west coast I believe...they started in the little town my family grew up in. Watsonville CA
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups Oh, yeah. They have quarries in that whole area.
You put a flag on the end of that conveyor it makes the driver and operators life a lot easier , takes one minute ,cost about $3 !
What's up with the flag 🤔
@@rondepczynski9149 Lets you know where the end of the conveyor is! Especially if you're grinding at night.
💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍👍
Funny that there is no baseline
I just did my first job the other night . It went sweet half the night then it went bad . I would get to the center of the paver . But some how the Operator kept yelling at me saying I wasn’t driving straight and the pier we’re just kept going to the left or right . My last load the paver ended up getting stuck to the truck
Congratulations. Man that sucks... Hopefully next one will go better
I appreciate that ! And yah I got a lot better on it .
im having that same issue keeping my truck straight with the paver my truck always drifts to far to the left then i go to the right an the edge of my box pinches the left edge of the paver an i get the paver operater mad. its only my 5th time doing asphalt im starting to get better. im sure the more i do it the better ill get at it.
@@trucker_wood4811 facts bro keep that Steering wheel straight . Back in to the paver straight. I was going in at an angle
the paver was running very fast. Here in Europe they do half of the speed.
This is about a normal speed here in the US
In Australia it’s half of the half speed
Very slow
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups About how many mph is that
Just don't Poop Infront if the paver
It will cost you a case of Beer
37:15 lets see if the tack truck can hit 88 mph before the road ends while spraying
I know right!!! It safe to say I stood way back when he was coming closest to me! (Although I feel like every construction worker I've seen like to show off when there's filming!😁😁)
Never seen a tac truck go that fast holy shit
I know!
I think he’s going fast so that he leaves a thin layer of tack coat. Easy way to spread it thin without adjusting pumps,nozzle,etc.
WHO WAS THAT MASKED MAN IN THE FLYING TACK TRUCK !!! SURPRISED THE TROOPERS DIDNT GIVE HIM A SPEEDING TICKET!!
Masked? I didn't see? Ah he was showing off for the camera I think....when I went in side he wasent as crazy but still!!!😱😱
Tell that rookie to shut off his jake brake.
He's showing off for the camera
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups yeah I did that too, the sound of the jake was fun.
Oh man sure is!
Why not use the automation while joint matching?
they are....its automatic sonic matcher
Remember the Barber-Green Company that inventor of the paver seen here. Cat bought them.
Really? I never about that! Awesome. Thanks for watching
Neither did I. Wow.
Spent many an hour behind a barber green paver in the early 90s, they were great machines, as well as the old Cedar Rapids pavers. Blaw knocks heavy duty paving. So incredible to see how it's changed but stays the same.
nlcb cashpot reasults
Barber-Greene made great monster size pavers i cut my teeth on them cat bought them out in 1991 also brought out champion pavers and mixed the two at first in the later mid 90s never cared to much for the cat pavers but Blaw Knox was the first asphalt paver in America 🇺🇸 😀 and I to me is one of the best besides the old Greene but the new Volvo/ blaw-knox is 👎 to much emissions bullshit roadtec are also good cedarapids pavers we're always shit! Bomag owns them now so idk maybe they are better dynapac make good pavers also cool vid man! Cheers from Texas.
Does the paver pretty much push the dump truck?
Not positive, but I believe so
Check out lakeside industries paving out fit on laurel rd film so cool peterson truck and them paving in whatcom
Ok...I definitely will! Thank you for that
i'm watching this on 2021
Me too!
عمل رائع
شكرا لكم. أتمنى أن تكون هذه الترجمة صحيحة
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups Hello, yes, correct. I do not know English today. I found out about translation from Google. Thanks for the wonderful videos
Thank you!
I noticed as they were doing the final paving layer, that none of the Rake men were doing anything to slope or bevel the blacktop around the side drains or to any of the driveways they crossed, never mind any actual streets, so that there would be a smooth transition from the blacktop to the driveways, or for water to flow from the blacktop to the drains. 🧐 I wonder why? That is usually done as a matter of pro forma anywhere else you go in North America or Europe. 🤨🤨
Yeah. That's the only thing they didn't do. My papa who lives in one of the driveways came up later and told them to please slope one if the drains otherwise it passes right by and goes straight to his driveway
In Europe the driveway they have to pave 2meters from the roadside as well. The asfalt is also a lot thicker over here, I guess because we are aloud to drive with heavier trucks. (At least in The Netherlands) i also think we use different machines because over here there is no need for people walking behind it. Love to see how people do it in other countries tho.
Yes, well lots of semis go by here too. The layer they put on is about 4in in total...but according to my papa who has been here for 20+ year's. The road just gets paved on top of...so it's really more like a foot of asphalt and just a few inches of new asphalt.
Yeah I always think it's interesting to Soo how other countries do it to...the people behind the machine are usually just to get and imperfections and usally to help taper the road
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups ok cool, we have like 30/40cm of asfalt but those are 3 kinds on top of each other first that looks a lot like concrete then the next and thats more normal asfalt and then on top a asfalt kind that we can SOAB Super Open Asfalt concrete (Beton) so the rain water is able to go through the asfalt. I don't know how we do it but we really never have any potholes so I think its a good way we do it (according to international research we have the 3 best roads of the world) don't know if its true but they are good for sure
@@larsmeijerink5471 One thing to keep in mind here as you talk about thicknesses of road-asphalt and how it varies from country to country, and as to why; asphalt companies also have different formula's and grades of asphalt that they lay down according to what the local geological soil conditions are, and what traffic is most expected to run over it, as well as the weight or typical vehicle loads the asphalt is expected to endure during its expected lifetime of service. On top of all that, you also need to factor in what the expected meteorological conditions (weather) will be like over the course of a year that the asphalt also has to, if you can pardon the pun, weather. ☀️🌧❄️🌪💨 etc.
I got hot tar on my road and I'm in Alabama that truck was flying
Yeah that truck was flying for sure! Don't know if he was just showing off for the camera or not?
We have to tuck our mufflers so they don't get torn off
What would tear them off? (maybe meaning mud flaps?)
Yea sorry it was supposed to say mud flaps auto correct real nice video nice clean equipment in the messiness business 👌
Ah. No worries...that is what I thought it probably was.
Yes these guys take care of there equipment! Some of thoes trucks you would never geuss that they do this kinda stuff every day!
How long did this take to finish
The paving probably 1 week for about 4miles or road with 2 layers both sides
What state is this in? I worked with Granite in California and also in Maryland..
Washington state, very cool yep they started in Watsonville CA, where all my family grew up!
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups Thanks for the reply.. I have hauled hot rock for them in transfer trucks and double bottoms in California.. Also in Maryland I hauled hot rocks and did some patch work pulling out bad spots running a Gradall..
I work for a county road dept in WA, paving is not my favorite thing to do. It's hard, hot work.
Yep, very cool, where is WA if you dont mind me asking? yeah im hoping to get into construction as a heavy equipment operator, definitely not for paving, cant imagine working in 100 degree weather and working with 120 degree hot rocks!
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups I work for the Island County Road Dept on Camano Island here in Washington State. If you want to get into heavy equipment a good way to start is to join a public works dept. I've learned how to run all sorts of equipment while working here.
Ok, so not to terribly far, this was all in Whatcom county and where I am, ok thanks for the advice, yes i was talking with the guys working and they recommended the "Operations Union 302" as a good schooling option to learn some as well. And as it is I can run a good amount of machinery, it would mainly be working on a site and geuss more precise operation i need to learn.
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups Yes there are operator schools around though I've never been to one. I would highly recommend it if you can get into one. Also, pay attention to math, especially decimals and fractions as well as some basic geometry would help you a lot. When you do grading there is quite a bit of math involved. We do engineer measurements, and any private contractor who is working on a government project will as well. The difference is a foot is broken down into 1/10th's rather than inches. Operating equipment can get pretty technical especially when roads are involved. We as a county will do small paving jobs, primarily patching and levelling. We contract out the large jobs to companies like Lakeside. There will be an engineer on site watching to make sure everything is done properly. Get your CDL too. Paving is fun if your on equipment or in a truck but it sucks if your a laborer manning a rake or shovel. We, and most agencies as well as large companies, hire temps for the summer. I'd recommend getting onto this if its what your interested in. Our temps get stuck flagging a lot, but they also get exposed to a lot of different operations involved in the maintenance of our roads.
What do you guys do with the old blacktop?
People will buy it and put it in there driveways. That what we did and the you can rent a roller and compact it to have a cheaper blacktop. In fact the truck drive right to our place after loading up.
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups In Australia Traffic controllers play a huge part in this sort of work, I don’t see any here
The road was closed from both ends about 3 miles was being paved, they also put a new pipe in the road so that's party why, was only open to construction workers and people who lived down the road
The county I work for, we give it away to any resident who wants it.
Wow! Around here people are paying $200-$300+ for a full truck! We throw it down on the driveway and on a hot day rent a roller and its just like solid asphalt again!
How long does it really take to repath the road
So if the trucks are there ready. They are paving about 1 mile 1 way in like 5 hours but there were a few breaks between trucks. So this entire paving project...about 4 miles 2 layers was about 1 week....this video there only paving the spots they ripped up
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups wow
@@bigdogmobilegamernation it really depends on a lot of factors. here in germany we do whole airport runways in a weekend. if you have 6 pavers running at the same time while 200 trucks come and go, they never have to stop, and you can figure it out yourselve how long it would take, if you know how fast a paver goes. (but remember, there has to be 3 layers of asphalt haha)
@@vincentabraham5345 ok
I’m surprised the drivers don’t have to lift their mud flaps
We do. I've ripped mine off more times than I can count when I've forgotten to lift them.
Hello friend.
Wich city/town were They paving that road? Your video was uploaded on July (summer).
Greetings from South America :)
This was in Whatcom county washington...I believe bellingham.
Yes the construction started mid July and ended early August.
Thank you for watching, always neat to hear where everyone watches from

@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups you're welcome. Waiting for the next construction site footages :)
Actually it is all over....I believe this was the last video.... although if you look on my channel...there is a playlist titled Smith rd construction and it has all the videos from this project.
This coming year I'll keep an eye out for more construction equipment
well thats a bump in the road @ 31:00 gotta have more finesse then that when catching trucks
Soory what was it that your saying about? (The video or the construction? If it is the video I apologise because I couldn't get any farther back to film....had a tree row right behind me)
Sorry just don't quite understand
Oh I just went back to watch it and I see what you mean now. Yeah I spooked me when that happened while filming....wasent expecting it
🙏🙌👏🇻🇪💰😭
These drivers really need to start hanging up there mud flaps when they dump their asphalt.
Guys smoking a cigarette!
Yes...a couple of them do.
Omg arrest them now!!! Wtf does it matter to you if he’s smoking lol 🙄
Are you the cigarette police
Had a truck pull away from the paver a lil while back dropped a huge fucking pile right in front 😠
It's not the equipment, but the hole paving cruel should be sent back to the union hall it's a shame the way they lay assualt .
Why is it that some dump trucks have a bogey axle and others do not?
I don't know.
They can haul more weight with extra axles
@@waynemaciejewski9764 So the amount of weight depends on raising or lowering the bogey axle if needed?
Yes so the more wheels that you have and spaced out...the more weight you can haul. So let's say with a regular dump truck (now I don't know everything so I'm making up numbers) you can haul 5 yards of wet sand...with 2 extra axels you can haul let's say 10yds wet sand and with super dumps which have 4 extra axels you can haul let's say 16yds of wet sand...all legally
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups thats cool to know. We have a max weight on axles. Driven axles can have 11.500kg and non driven/steering axles 9.000kg
The company i work for is also in asfalt and we have 5axle scania's 2drive axles and 3 steer.(front two+ last axle steerable, axle 3/4 driven) those trucks can weigh max 50.000kg because that's the legal max weight of a normal truck/ truck-trailer
Неужели в Америке делают ямочный ремонт.
да, в этом видео они отшлифовали плохие участки дороги, а затем залили их и вымостили еще 2 слоя поверх них (так что они вымостили всю дорогу), надеюсь, это имеет смысл ... я использовал переводчик Google

Why would u want a dump truck wit air suspension that’s jus plain crazy
Why not🤷 problay bought it from my cousin who sells truck parts to everyone in the area (he problay has sold parts to all the "cool trucks"!) Most of these go to shows too
Crazy is..
Why wouldn’t you just make two mill passes so your paver could fit in whole and who walks all over there topping and roller man doesn’t pinch the edge from outside
Maybe they are plugging then overlaying the whole road. Or maybe they thought it would be easier to have the screed man cheat feed the other side manually with no autos.
Or maybe they have sales men who don’t understand asphalt. Is it faster to run a three quarter pad that u have to run manually and piss your labors off because you don’t give your self enough asphalt or over feed your self or do you run your mill 9 ft wide so your 8 ft screed can fit in the hole. Think smarter buddy👏
Why didn't you guys just strip the entire road instead of just here & there bcause I think that's just a waste for asphalt
The whole road was done actually if you watch the whole video, they just did strips where the road was in really bad condition, paved them, then paved the whole road
How many men does it take to pave a road?........too many!
Yes there were quite a few. But keep in mind they were paving about 4 miles of road
I don't see why you are using auto grade control on the shoulder side. I would rather concentrate on having a smooth ride in the driving lane than making sure I have the exact thickness on the shoulder.
Turn that thing off and let the screed find it's own level which will give a smooth ride. Learn to master running screed before you constantly turn to automatics.
Oh also I would have thrown that tack driver off the job, very unsafe!
I don't know, I wasent running the paver or anything. I'm not even part of the crew let alone work for them. Yes tack truck wasent very safe
Who's the sheep wearing a mask out in the open air? Bet he wears it in his truck driving alone 😷🤦♂️🤣😂
County worker I think. Here in Washington there strict on the whole mask deal so for all he knows his boss could be watching this video and he gets caught (he would take it off when I wasent filming) but I try not to to talk about all this stupid mask and corona stuff on here. I'm over it and just want to be back in school with my buddies
Come to Georgia we will show you how to push and pave. None of that let the bed, down pull out shit. Waste of time. Rookies is what i see. Weak paver?
I don't know...I'm not into the paving business
Shoukd be using a pick up machine.. unloading with tandem is so 90s
This is a complete waste of tax payers money why repave 30 yards of a road instead of fixing the entire road
If you look later in the video, the entire road was repavved, about 8 miles total of a busy road, the small strips are only where there was significant road damage
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups that's exactly what my point is just for those little strips of repaving cost tax payers around $300,000 or more again it was a complete waste of tax payers money
