A master truck driver would drive at a low speed with the tailgate open and tray upright and evenly distribute the rocks like a boss with less need for a grader.
Thanks for showing us how NOT to grade out a new roadway. The trucks should be dumped closer to the roadway. So that the piles slightly overlap the previous work. Then the road grader should work on the high side. Using the already finished roadway as a referance. Use the angle of the blade to catch more, push, or slide off the work material as needed. Once you establish your grade. It's easy to maintain it. Work the grader up and then down the road. Cutting and grading enough so you don't have material bleed from the end of your blade. Doing it this way, you will not only achieve the proper grade on first cut. But the surface will be compacted and the tires of the grader will not sink into the material. You could also have a vibratory roller working next to you. Saving a lot of time. IUOE Local 15 (38 years) Retired.
I guess they also have a grudge against using a spreader box or trucks setting chains on the tailgates. Since that would also lay more even and wouldn't loose your grade as easy as they way they are doing
Yep. Probably needs to have piles like that since the drivers can't/won't spread. Good drivers could spread their gravel, the blade would only have to touch the material once.
Also, they are not using a major feature of the grader. Articulation allows the front wheels to remain on the adjacent finished grade and the tandems pushing behind the piles. Matching finished grade in one pass. Less wear and tear on the machine and less fuel. The operator doesn’t know how to articulate even for a turnaround. He needs a lesson! This is a terrible example of grading best practice.
Motor Graders are a good leveling and grading tool. There is, however, a variation on the asphalt layer that can do this job far more efficiently. It can lay a roadbed foundation or sub-roadbed filler very quickly and more efficiently than even a Motor Grader can. They have been using such a machine for laying highways in my local area for the past several years. Very efficient, and grades the material to be placed as it travels, requires many more dump trucks than seen in this video in order to operate smoothly.
This was done 2 months, 29 days, 23 hours, and 40 minutes faster than the same job would have taken in Michigan. It's good to not have government and unions slowing down progress!
Probably a stupid question, but why not have the truck drivers pull up while dumping so you don't have the huge piles to chop down before you can start smoothing it out?
Probably because it would not leave enough material. If the dump were spaced out your suggestion would make a lot of sens but the dump are very close because they want a thick layer.
If the guys tipping were better at their job, the grader wouldn't have to do so much work. I was a truck driver on road construction and we would have got our arse kicked for tipping like that.
My first reaction was that this operation should have been using a spreader box not a motor grader to reduce segregation of the ABC. But by the end of the video I was impressed at how well the base course looked. The only issue I have now is the loose thickness of the layer (well over 5") and whether they will be able to obtain optimum moisture and density on the roadway, critical for a durable substrate on which the pavement will be constructed.
Likely not. Base course should have been built up in 50mm layers and rolled and watered throughout. I'd hate to see what the density test comes out at.
I could list quite a few problems with how this is being done. As a 25 year veteran in construction, there are a LOT of things being done wrong. Doing an import job like this where you're hauling in whatever materials to be spread out, you do it as if you're painting the road. The trucks need to spread the loads out better. Meaning when they dump, they should pull forward slowly and not allow it to be in such a big pile. Where I'm from, you should be using belly dumps for this. The truck pulls alongside the existing windrow and begins his dump, then the next truck ties on, and so on. All the blade has to do is carry the windrow across at the same grade until the ribbon is completed. Then do the same thing until you get completely across the fill. This is definitely a lesson in how NOT to build a road.
I always here comments about a blade operator being Really Good! Folks who never operated one just don't realize that they a built for the work! So being impressed so easily, is like being amazed that a Horse.. can Run!
Maybe if the truck drivers tail gating the gravel instead of dumping it all at once you will get the road surfaced sooner and less grading from the grader
with that many drones in the air you need a air traffic control tower, and now I understand why there are so many construction videos in my feed, everyone is trying to get on that band wagon :(
I love how the cars and trucks and motorcycles all keep on going with the grader working and there is no flag personS around! Talk about managed chaos! I wish north america construction / traffic flow was like this! (yes, need to drive slow around construction sites!)
Skill?? No.. more like lack of equipment.. just getting it done. Anyone that has ran a grader knows you can't raise the blade as fast as the machine will fall. So that means it's the wrong tool for the job. A scraper would make short work of that. That's the tool that should be used.
Sure looks like he’s got it on float! That mouldboard moves up and down pretty fast between the piles. He can drive it, but not so good at operating it lol
I wonder if they even have safety concerns or meetings... Traffic control.. Don't need it Safety clothes for workers.. Nah they can just dodge the traffic.
In NJ USA the entire road would have been closed while traffic is a nightmare I kinda like this way but the drivers here would be cutting everyone off lol
I was initially confused by the traffic driving through the work site. I'm not sure where this is I just know I wouldn't go anywhere near this road work.
Where I am the traffic authorities would shit themselves seeing something like this: zero traffic management, not a single high viz, random people flying drones running around in flip-flops on construction site, and even the dog is there! 😄 Here in NZ we get 1200 orange cones laid out on the road on Friday, before anything even looks to start on Wednesday next week let alone have any actual work done 😆
World class safety features here, dude with hammer in thongs, homeboys on their airborne toys and Gangsta Grader fella cutting gravel piles to pancakes. Bet the site manager is taking care of ''business' up the road somewhere?
Not very efficient at all. A blade is a geometrical marvel, learn how to use it’s angles rather than straight blading 3 times in your same wheel tracks.
I also find it odd that they have to have a labourer release the dogs to open the tailgates on the trucks when in NA all the trucks have air operated releases from the drivers cab.
People driving on an active construction site with no one directing traffic, 5 low flying drones, no PPE, equipment used partially correctly, must be India.
It's not very efficient having the lorries tip the stones in large piles close together, it would be better to be moving forward when tipping so as to spread the load as you will see done in other videos on here.
Wonder why they're paving the road? Woggies would just as soon as drive down any side they want, ignore the brake pedal, and go thru half the fields available before their wheel falls off.

No idea of how to run it out. They wouldn't get a job building roads in Australia.
Lap the loads on the previous grade, runout high ,water, roll ,cut ,roll, water ,trim ,roll ,re cut if needed.do it all day

Safety? No problem. Gotta love the guy unlocking the tailgates, 2-way traffic, etc. The good ol' days of road construction. But we have a drone!
With sandals no less,
Painful to watch, but that's part of what makes it good I guess, nobody knows what they're doing but they are doing it anyway
I'm surprised how many professional grader operators there are in the comments

Do you have a link to this?
If they would only not dump the gravel in one big pile! It would make grading it soooo much easier.
12 yrs in road building and after watching this i may blow my brains out...WTF

Drivers being tolerant, so nice to see they dont need hundreds of people with stop signs.

Maybe this one is not slow for you

What a bunch of cowboys, no traffic control, no obvious plan, no idea................................................
Probably a stupid question, but why not have the truck drivers pull up while dumping so you don't have the huge piles to chop down before you can start smoothing it out?
Possibly because they are long beds, and raising while loaded can make them unstable. Lots of U Tube vids of loaded trailers tipping.
@@tomrogers9467 Dump trucks in the US haul and dump 18ton like that regularly even on hillsides with long beds, but I guess anything's possible.
Could be they aren't able to drive and change the bed lift angle at the same time. Older dump trucks around here can only do one action at a time.
Probably because it would not leave enough material. If the dump were spaced out your suggestion would make a lot of sens but the dump are very close because they want a thick layer.
Doesn’t seem to be having a problem the way they are doing it at all
Dudes working in flip flops. 😂😂😂😂😂
At least he’s not scamming our elderly
Would have saved half the time with a spreader while the tippers don't just dump in piles.
Where are you folks getting all of this beautiful gravel? Could we see the rock crushing plant sometime please?
And no-one had safety boots on !!! And where are the rollers ?? Here the unions would have declared that job black !! Greetings from Australia
good job🎉

Your gonna need another 25yrs. Maybe they don’t have belly dumps. Balance a windrow would’ve made it a lot easier don’t ya think vet?
Waot! You forgot to spray the penetrationg primer before you dumped the asphalt, now it all has to come up.
But they do not have any penetrating (or "penetrationg" as you put it )primer. Kinda like you not having spellcheck.
Don't criticize. 8 months ago, before they finally got a grader, there were 124 kelings out there with British army surplus shovels.
Good point.

Way too many passes that machine is capable of doing it in half that time
Maybe if the truck drivers tail gating the gravel instead of dumping it all at once you will get the road surfaced sooner and less grading from the grader
Free compaction
You think?
Last 2 minutes of the video, "operator" was like: oh yeah, this thing has a blade on the front.
Seems to me the trucks could have spread out the gravel and made a lot more efficient use of grader.
Everyone’s talking about how they’re doing it wrong and are using the wrong equipment without proper safety like they aren’t literally in India

It also has the obligatory decorations making it official.
Bulldozers after the dump trucks, Graders are the finishing passes...
Not if you don't own a bulldozer.

OHH EMM GEE!!! What are we, 12 year-old school girls!
Operator is okey
Are they using ground up asphalt as the base?
So I guess dump trucks cant drive and dump at the same time???
If you have a good motor grader operator, and you want to keep that operator, you don’t do this to them.
I love how the cars and trucks and motorcycles all keep on going with the grader working and there is no flag personS around! Talk about managed chaos! I wish north america construction / traffic flow was like this! (yes, need to drive slow around construction sites!)

No 100% sure where the super skilled grader operator was, must of went on break before I started watching.
The dump truck drivers are clueless. That contractor is wasting huge amounts of fuel and labor, not to mention wear and tear on the equipment.
Why wasn't this job done at night when the traffic is less?
You gotta be kidding.
I wonder if they even have safety concerns or meetings...
Traffic control.. Don't need it
Safety clothes for workers.. Nah they can just dodge the traffic.

Op is liking every comment no matter what it says
I started watching the drones and forgot all about the grader for a few minutes
And not an Engineer or Traffic Controller or any signs in sight. Just how the job can / should be done! Excellent Operator.
Which is the reason why roads in India are in such bad condition and why so many deaths occur.
This operator sucks !
Smh
Modern heavy equipment has GPS plus laser guided blades for depth control.
This is not a place where you have much in the way of "modern heavy equipment."
Instead of standing with shovels, now they have drone control box to hold
Why would you dump them in big piles? What a waste when they could have spread the material out almost at finish grade.
Seen very similar methods in Thailand with no traffic control either. You just drive through the roadworks and dodge the construction traffic.
La configuración del equipo permite trabajar la maquina sin subirse al material acordonado escuálizando totalmente los accesorios
Somehow I didn’t see the monkey or the football but I am sure they are there !
Chain each side on the tailgate they could run the gravel out then save time with the grader to
That's actually a very good idea

If a bathroom trip is absolutely necessary, use your hat or shoe.
No water truck or roller for compaction.
Would go faster an more accurate if trucks spread it out while dumping
Does the grater automatically level the blade or is it done by the operator?
Done by operator, but if laser-guided, automatically.
