Im a Japanese, had been working as a mechanic of Caterpillar until 7years ago. It's first time to see AP1000D asphalt finisher and feeling little exitement. This video reminds me 30years of a mecanic life. Thank for upload.
The new asphalt mat follows the proper grades, which is usually set from the new curbs (if there is curbs). The older asphalt, could have settled causing low spots. You do try your best to tie into and feather to existing asphalt or the paving crew has no idea what they are doing
Nice video if u have any questions about any of the equipment feel free to ask me I've been doing asphalt for 2 years I operate the main roller for the company I work for
@@cirecast8177 it sprays stuff on the buggy so the asphalt doesn't stick to it, we used to spray it in the trucks before we got a load so it would slide out without sticking
I find it fascinating watching new asphalt being laid with the crew in perfect coordination . It is still however a relatively slow procedure , I wonder if there is technology on the way to speed things up . Great video mate .🇬🇧
Yeah more trucks in a round, more rollers... Iv paved a 3.8m run at 20m a minute. You can go as fast as you can put mix on the ground and compact it fully.
happy to say there is! in the US, were working on a new machine that allows dirt, asphalt and asphalt emulsion to all be laid through that machine at one time. its a really cool concept for less travelled roads.
I'm wondering the same I use to run a Michigan 8-axle flow boy and all I ever did was back up to the paver pull my trailer brake to 10psi open the back & flip my PTO switch and raise the RPMs to the the desired belt speed run the asphalt right in to the hopper. It always impressed me how powerful those pavers are my truck fully loaded weighed about 160k then add in the brake pressure and the machines weight it had to be pushing well over 200k and there where times it was up a steep hill from a stop was definitely one of the funnest jobs I've ever had.
@chax2004 @Jeremy G It’s called a transfer machine. For bigger jobs it’s more common to have one. Some of the advantages are continuously paving, due to the transfer machine holding HMA while the hopper on the paver is full. This can reduce trucking costs as well. Since not as many trucks are sitting waiting to dump. It can also decrease temp differentials along with reducing agg segregation. Cool machines if you ask me
@@jpj2065 Yup exactly what Nate said, if you have enough trucks that machine will keep the paver moving all day. No stops, no bumps maximum rideability and mat quality
it transfers the hot mix in the paver it make the paving a little faster alot smoother , if you have multiple paver working side by side this machine make it easy ! we call them shuttle buggy or vtm ... they are difficult to load on a low boy sometimes
@@stevevlietstra1975 No the wing is set fine. That is either the angle of attack needs adjusting or the screed plates and bull nose on the extension need replacing
@Hello Newman breakdown rolled for 5 and a half years rolled over 500,000 tons of asphalt. On the mix I roll if i turned that sharp I would tear the mat and leave a tear mark that you would see forever. That was way to sharp of a turn out
@Hello Newman it was clearly not rolled already look right infront of where he turned the shadow in the mat from the wing is still there he did that on fresh mix, look all im saying is if did that on the mix i roll here in canada i would make a huge mess. Don't matter how much you have rolled
@Hello Newman i had one of those exact rollers for most of last year as a rental, nice roller except the console steering is a little weird until you get used to it. My normal roller is a cb64
Continuous pour! The RoadTec holds a buffer slug of asphalt so that the paver doesn't have to stop while waiting on the next truck. The continuous pour makes a higher quality, seamless surface, i.e. no cold joints.
@@geezer652 When we were doing part of the M6 motorway, we had the paver keep moving but with no buffer but Christ you had to be quick! 1 finishes tipping and as the last bit falls he is already rolling away. Soon as there was enough space between him departing and the paver, you threw your truck in, fast as possible, reversed onto the paver as the tipper was rising, literally popped up the dump gate as you approached his "push rollers" and tipped as usual. The last small amount in the tipping tray was the time you had to swap trucks! It was a mad process, you had to be exactly on it. But this would of been pretty useful for us.

"Ahhhh..........the smell of hot asphalt in the morning!!"
Nothing else smells better than this
I LIKE THE SMELL OF HOT ASPHALT AND WATCHING WET CONCRETE BEING POURED ! ! ! !
I love watching those tarmac laying machines. Amazing how they get it so flat. Love the smell of hot tarmac.

See here in North East Pennsylvania they don't do this anymore so seeing a nice smooth road is weird
I would like to ask a question. When one section of a road meets another that already exist why is it so hard to get it even

Joints can be a challenge to all experience screed operators, it is a crucial factor.

How long to pave a mile or kilometer?
What's that blue barrel on the buggy?
@@cirecast8177 I'm not to sure the buggy we have doesn't have one

What a gorgeous Asphalt, good job guys
Something tells me those guys won’t read this
That finish plate needs a lil diesel on the left side dragging the surface but yea good grade of rock there

@Hello Newman my company has done 3000 ton in 14 hours with 30 trucks. It’s pretty normal on highway jobs. At least for us.
@Hello Newman do u do brake down roller or one of the other roller positions
@@AnarchyEnsues and also depends on how thick of a layer of asphalt ur laying down as well
happy to say there is! in the US, were working on a new machine that allows dirt, asphalt and asphalt emulsion to all be laid through that machine at one time. its a really cool concept for less travelled roads.
Anyone know what the white machine does? Wondering why the dump trucks just dont dump into the yellow paving machine.

I would like to see how the longitudinal joint is constructed
Your extensions needed adjustment?
Leon Searfass Not to familiar with a cat screed. Left side is clearly tipped down
And that's why there is obvious amount of difference in compaction. And in a sizable road project it will hurt their yield and compaction results.
@@stevevlietstra1975 No the wing is set fine. That is either the angle of attack needs adjusting or the screed plates and bull nose on the extension need replacing
How is the Bar there across the street?
Any good?
Did they apply a tack coat to the base layer?
5:44 looks like it
Tack it the ONLY way it will stick
10:17 I have never seen a breakdown roller turn that sharp in my life that is insane

So you don't advice anyone to have a work like this? Just asking because it seems like a fun job?
@@captaincusto5857 yeah you're right mate youre outdoors in fresh air plenty of way worse jobs
Why we they not just dumping it into the paver?
Paver holds much more in that configuration allowing time between trucks
Here in the UK we just reverse straight onto the paver... In both rigid / semi no need for the extra machines.

@@geezer652 also helps minimize load segregation and spreads the heat out evenly. Shuttle buggy are the way to go

Those big red dump trucks must not hold very much.. or that big white machine holds a bunch.
The shuttle buggy holds 40-45 tons and the hopper on the paver will hold around 15 tons. The truck is probably hauling 30-35 tons.
Veri nice
