Pouring Concrete Sidewalks and Driveway Approaches with Toro Ultra Buggy 2500-ts
Переглядів 4,4 тис.9 годин тому
Today we will work on replacing driveway approaches and pieces of sidewalk that have already been removed. Some of these driveways are gravel. They will get gravel put back in since the city doesn't want to make them concrete at this time. We will also do some dirt work where we can and fill in the void between the road and the new curb.
Concrete Curb and Gutter Finishing with a Curb Machine

Today we are pouring concrete curb and gutter with the Curb Machine. This side of the road takes us a little bit longer due to concrete trucks coming a little wetter slump than we want.

    Awesome video! The type one barricades with the sidewalk closed signs are really cool, and of course the barrels. Great job on the concrete work 👍

    No rebar ? Or mesh?

      The city, people paying, did not include rebar or mesh in the contract for driveway approaches. So, no, not on this job.

    nice team I did road work for 50 years and never did I see someone pour a city walk with a power buggy, good call. a front discharge truck would have made the pour. or a half of a shoot on that rear discharge, or mounds of gravel on curb, or wait for cure time to drive on. but it's done. expansion felt should have gone in that one new city approach butting old city sidewalk, it has a joint in the old city sidewalk. at least our inspector would have made us put one in. nice curb machine. hammer down daylight is burring.

    • @ARoadBuilder

      We just bought this buggy, it works good for this. Next time i'm just driving in and out of the sidewalk though lol. They just wanted expansion on bottom side against curb. Thanks for watching! Will be uploading more often.

      It was some of these guys first time being around a curb machine and they didn't know what to do. We are usually more spread out and short help. Really do not need as much laborers when pouring out with curb machine. Only one day of running it so to give people a full week they were brought in.

    • @ARoadBuilder
      @ARoadBuilder 4 дні тому

      Great question! It's concrete cure. Concrete gains strength over time as it cures. Can help increase its resistance to weathering and enhances the lifespan of the concrete. I'll have to do a video on concrete curing now lol
