I love the sped up drone footage. You can't beat watching a group of people that know what they are doing at work. They make it look so easy and elegant.
That time lapse drone footage was one of the coolest shots. I’ve seen in recent memory. It really helped illustrate the process of what Landmark construction was doing out there.
I live 10min from the site and none of us locals want the plant there. Between the insane traffic, destruction of roads, and the amount of building going on in the small town it is crazy. The county destroyed a quiet community it's for greed.
That drone time-lapse made the construction equip look like ants! It'd be amazing to see a full full time lapse of that 100 feet of dirt. Like 1 or 2 pictures a day over however many months it takes them!
I'd like to think I am well read, but I have NEVER heard of Scout Motors. Being a Volkswagen[financial and legacy problems] subsidiary, I don't see this EV plant lasting long without government loans or handouts.
I've never seen that many off-road trucks in one place I'd like to see the final grade equipment like the motivator and the paddle pan getting it to grade the company I'm working for right now we're moving 1 million yards of dirt well that's a lot of dirt where you're at sure is a fantastic video really enjoy how you explain things thank you
I can never understand how Volvo have such a big presence in the US when Cat must be the biggest plant manufacturers in the country. Not that I have anything against Volvo as I have driven them here in the UK, fantastic machines.
10:04 It's not so much the "top loading", sometimes you have no choice but to "top load" (I call it loading on level ground) to get certain jobs done or getting the last bit of stock pile loaded out. I'm more concerned about the truck behind the truck getting loaded that's at a stop fully loaded. Why can't he go around or they set that up any other way then having a fully loaded truck stopped when it should be hauling ass to the dump site. I see the dozer is making a pass but its in the way. I'd have my haul roads wide enough to pass if not a 2 lane for clusters or return hauls. I use "top loading" term as top loading a scraper or something that needs top loading like a dump truck..lol. What the operator was doing here was just loading a truck from level ground. All dump trucks are top loaded weather its below you or same level as.
I can't believe they are mixing the different soil types . At the mine I worked beside had to layer everything back the same way. I guess different rules in USA America American
I live in South Carolina and that project is in the middle part of the state, closer to the ocean, so a lot sandier materiel, "junky" materiel types compared to other, doesn't matter where you dig down your going to have to mix dirt at some point or another, very little clay compared to the upstate of SC where I'm from. Honestly shocked there not doing soil cement or some kind of soil stabilization on that project, unless it just wasn't shown.
With all the closed auto plants in the US I find it strange that any company would need to build a new one. Wonder why. Could it be the massive amount of money SC is spending to bring the plant there? Lower cost non union labor? Whole new towns being built to house all these people. Is it like a Ponzi scheme? Ignore already built infrastructure to keep building.
Why find a location that already suits your needs when you can waste millions of gallons of diesel and hundreds of millions dollars to make land that you can build on....
Well another reason building these electric car plants and the battery manufacturing is terrible for the environment. Waste of money and the effects are insane
No EV excavators or haul trucks on-site? Hmm. I hate to be a downer on this but with the Big 3 seeing pitiful EV sales this may be a total waste of money.
Yawn. Not even funny how many more decades we’ll be using diesel - not batteries - and ignores how we need to mine as much, say copper, in the next twenty years as all of mankind has ever dug up. Over all time. Then, we do it all over again to maintain and expand assumed growth not even built in to our plans and budgets today. None of the ‘green’ preening is believable. Is this a good time to mention mineral dilution is three X what grandpappy was able to easily dig?

No DEI operators ❗️
I like diggin in the dirt ! Always did when I was a kid and I just never out grew it. 😊
Thanks for the vid bother 👍👍👍

That was the most artistic ad I've ever seen, I think I will go buy some stickers
Your best video ever. The explanations you give make it even better.
Thank you very much
This is about the same size of earth moving my dad claims he did with my grandfather when he was a kid helping in the garden.
Nice video.. Well explained

NIMBY
the PC1250's are the best diggers on site! There was even some HD605's in the video too

Taxpayer loans and handouts that we never agree to.
That's how the plant is being built. That plus taxpayer money from us locals that we never agreed to.

Great music, I wonder why they didn't go for scrapers.
Nice video 😊😊😊😊😊
Lets hope the two companies make it through the next year. Both are in trouble.
Great Video🤙🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸
jesus thats a serious setup...
I bet the cb chattter on that site is hilarious
This is HUGE! Who is the fuel company/supplier out there? They would have to be an on-site mob.
I can never understand how Volvo have such a big presence in the US when Cat must be the biggest plant manufacturers in the country. Not that I have anything against Volvo as I have driven them here in the UK, fantastic machines.
CAT are fuel hungry. All other big equipment is better.
In Manitoba here it’s as flat a the surface of a lake. Could level it out in an afternoon
It's Canada who cares!! 😂
@JustusBuckels-zt6kt they wanna join the US. lol lol
Thanks
What song is this (around the 8 min mark) really good!
Why are they not using 657 scrapers, the chosen method for large earth moving projects.?
Too wet in South Carolina
Last time I operated a Deere 870 it did not have a "Gas Tank" since it does not run on gas.
amazing they build such factory complex without appearing to have rail access
Rail access is being done by another contractor
what is scout motors?
and what r they making?
Electric suv that looks like a bronco
These guys are making the earth flat - maybe this is why they are called "flat earthers"... 😂😁😜
Whos taking bets?
1, Will the company/project funds pull before completion?
2, the place is empty in 5yrs?
If the areas where the fill dirt is being dumped isn't going to be ponds, parking lots, or buildings, why compact it in 1' lifts?
🤔what would an Aaron Witt / B1M collab look like?
can recommend the game, Captain of Industry where you can watch this stuff too :)

Are John Deere 870 = hitachi ZX870?
Damn that’s a lot of equipment. Good to see this in America.
Why isn’t the truck’s under the digger surely it’s more efficient?
Making a ramp
Seems like multiple buildings could be on different elevations
Shamefully deere doesn't make speeddozers anymore

I could be wrong but I’m guessing the owners of the company have a beef with caterpillar because I didn’t see one cat machine on the property.
There was a D6 in the video
@ Where? What time?
@truckinpoppop6777 1:03 there's also a Cat compactor pushing out with the dozers
@@Joes1989 Ok. I stand corrected. I see the dozer but I’m stretching for the roller 😅
@@truckinpoppop6777 16:27 fifth machine back. It's not a roller is a sheep's foot wheeled dozer type thing
Ah, another company that thought about their expansion plans before they built... we really need to teach corporate expansion strategic planning.
Hello sir i am motor grader and dozer operator can you find the job
Well he obviously found the job, he’s there making a video 😂
So... more than a metric sh*t cubicload of dirt?
Was it sponsored by ikea
Volvo😍
Wonder how many artifacts and fossils were unearthed and moved to a new location...
Indian burial ground, home sites, several species of amphibians, pure destruction.
This a serious comment?
That's a lot of fuel per day
I don’t like being a pessimist but after all this , the goes out of business in 10 years.
Aaron looks thinner in the face? Has he lost weight?

Closer to h company head quarters and probably the talent pool. I doubt there are much tech oriented people in Detroit and the rust belt
@@brandino97yyc That's why Intel is building their newest, biggest facility in Ohio.

earth is flat, thats why we use a plumb line to level buidings.....
"Babe, Come here!! Aaron posted a video in America!!!"
Bro, the earth is flat
Yur a liar

My gosh. You talk like either you are 10 or we are ten What so slow ?. It’s like you are thinking between each word.
Because I am thinking between each word
