remember herman, he was pretty cool? the indian foreman or superintendent for aci, a tall guy. i pulled a clearance on a 51 the day after 18 or so got dirty test, something with the cut-off point of nanograms in the system was off. one dude files a greivance and he was a smoker too, and after 4 months of 5 or 6 10's or 12's he got all of his back pay. i can't remember how much fuel a day the 51s were drinking something like 250 gals a day. you could tell he liked the day the fuel truck would show up, he'd have most of the spread slow to a crawl, like as if to salute the amount of fuel he was going through. he' was one of the coolest formans i've ever known.
dam rite!! good Ole 660's and a good push. man u can move mountains!! sweet vid boys!! hell GIMMY an Addy. N IL send my resume!! and move to cali from Idaho to work for this outfit annyday!!
It amazes me the amount of material you move out west just to build simple things like neighborhoods, home prices must be through the roof to justify that kind of cost per lot.
Thank you for your reply :) I think that might be possible, but I also think you need lime, lime mixers and a bit of water (sometimes all of that is integrated into some cold mixers like the Wirtgen machines) and I only see a water sprayer in the video - but I'm no expert either. It just seems like quite loose aggregate the way it is in the video.
***** Thank you! It might be that the dozers and scrapers running over the slightly watered ground is enough. So, as you say, the machines do the compaction.
cool and loud but not very fuel effective hehe they move way more dirt in say netherland using a relative little self propelld rotary digger that use a conveyerbelt to fill big dump trucks. ore smaller standard dump trucks if they want to haul the dirt on a normal road some distance in ordinery traffic
Bucketwheel excavation is for mining and quarrying, I think you are confused about what these guys are doing and why. Scrapers are moving muck from cut to fill and are completely mobile meaning that as they cut to level and fill to level they move on to the next phase, something a bucket wheel cannot do, the scraper cuts it rough and in bulk to determined level and then the developers move in to set out the roads and sewers, likely more will be trimmed off to finished level at the foundation stage. Now off to see what you upload, I think you have 0 experience of real earthmoving, in which case STFU, watch and learn from these guys.
+ian milgate With 8 million cubic yards of dirt to move it will take some time (days or weeks)before they hit the planned final grade. Usually that amounts to 'cutting down the mountain and filling in the valley' so to speak. It might look unorganized however I can assure you that each scraper operator has a fairly good understanding of where the 'cut' is and where the 'fill' is and all the other pieces of equipment like the 'push cats', water-pulls, and equipment in the 'fill' are all there to support the scrapers. It is all very well organized and meant to move as much dirt as possible at the least cost.
Is this ACI???????THEM OLD FUCKIN 60S ARE FUN SOMETIMES.THE hall WILL DISPATCH YOU FOR A 57...and kirtus will ask you to run a 60 a couple days later... then your stuck .lol....
all I see is money money money how's getting it u the guys in the equipment o well some r just to stupid to take a stand I need a job to pay my car note when will we stand up and say I want more money together

Sure never want to hear Cali folks talk about fuel usage and pollution from the Midwest....
Amazing video and some kick ass operators.
great Video love the old cat scraper
Bert and his people magnificent
That's just mind boggling to see that many pieces of equipment, that size, on one job site.
Nice video, as always.
This was a good job. Only problem is those 60's move so much dirt there's usually no overtime on a 60 spread.
Really good video. Thank You.

awesome video
mind-boggling!
I love it!
old kitty cats can still move some dirt
Don't get it. With the water situation out west why do more houses keep being built
There is a housing shortage because more people move there.
It amazes me the amount of material you move out west just to build simple things like neighborhoods, home prices must be through the roof to justify that kind of cost per lot.
TurboGSR96 probably not to much the sheer quantity of houses would make up the cost
it's a dollar waiting on a dime when yardage is paying the bill.
4:38 I would feel so insignificant driving through their with my little white pickup truck
whats with the dozer in the fill with the push blade on is he there just incase a single gets stuck??
A Pushcat can also help out in the fill sometimes. if the 834(stomper) is getting behind.
Looks like a diesel burning ant colony.
Why is there a white spray paint on the drive wheel
DW 20 still pullin
some fuel & maintenance bills
Do they do something for compacting the fill and prevent future subsidence?
Thank you for your reply :)

Seen track loaders working lime and it looks like they've been through a snow storm lol. Must be hell for the engine air filters
Usually the pans tke care of the compaction themselves running all over loaded.
What models of scrapers are in this video?
buggies being pushed are 660B, Some 651s driving by the cut and dumping in the fill same with 57s and looks like some 31 water buffs
or is its so big?

yeah sure they do, hey these are californians, it's were everything is the leading industry of world.

Not to move 8 Million Cubic Yards they don't.
That's the way to move dirt
how do they know where to go it looks a bit random to me

Great reply , in uk dozer drivers get paid the most. Do the scraper drivers get the most pay or dozer or on the same rate?
@@garysmedley6263 more like months to move that much
What are SIDS?
Cyds= cubic yards
Thank you sir I appreciate it!

Listen carefully -you are on Muckshifter Rock.
ACI close its doors
in the 1950s they had a plan to use nukes to level land..seriously.
Tested the idea in "operation plowshare". Plan was to blow a "sea level" canal but radiation leaks, etc put an end to that thinking.
8 million Cy=$$$$$
