I was just watching a video of China's new Silk Road and this came to mind. as we have massive tunnelling machines which never stop 24/7 why not a massive concrete laying machine which takes in gravel, sand, water and cement at the front end by an endless convoy of dump trucks and constantly mixes and lays miles of concrete 24/7. no need for cement trucks any longer but it does it all. the idea came to me watching this old house where a "mini" machine did the mixing for the contractors and unlike that Dam project (somewhere in America) they never needed to worry about the cement getting too thick as it can be mixed to the right consistency at any time. ...just an idea!!
ryelor123 They do have roads that will last 100 years. You really don't see them that often due to how expensive they are, but I do know for a fact that they are replacing section of US I80 with 100 year concrete.
I bet with some wide tires and a good head of steam, he goes pretty far.. Recently saw in the news a guy in a Porsche didn't want to wait for the cars ahead of him in line, so he past them all and drove up to the wheel wells into fresh concrete. Now he knows why the thruway was all backed up. lol!
If I'm not mistaken, this is somewhere in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I used to live there years ago and they were quite fond of concrete for the main heavy traffic roads.
I love how they have a couple guys making 26 bucks an hour (plus overtime) smoothing out the concrete so that the machine that doesn't require overtime pay can scrape the traction scores into it.
I'm thinking that machine IS a part of the thermostat lol and yes winter is still way to long but on the other hand i got you to kick around while your building in winter SO its still all good ; )
Hey buddy ,old NB eh? Beautiful piece of country ,from rock face ,lakes,rolling mountain ridges good food good people and the deepest culture of Canada is right here in NB ,whether your native English or French ,it all started here ,in this Province ,oh Quebec might object ,but they object to everything ...HEY QUEBEC ! anybody home ? lol . Well nice to meet you ,and nicer that you are subbed to (the class act Groutaone ) where you can expect interesting : ) ROOSTER TAILS...MORE POWER lol.
I don't know what it is man. They have the gaps and depth set in those roads just perfect so of your driving anything with a 400+ the faster you go the worse you vibrate and if your driving a short wheel base, step side with a 460 in it you better be tightening up drive line bolts wen you get home. There's a road near me like that and the vibrations made all but 3 of the trans to motor bolts back out of his truck.
And with luck you won't. I used to drive truck over the road and always dreaded having to drive the concrete sections of the interstates. Unless they were brand new, or located in the extreme southern latitudes, they'd make you wish you'd worn your kidney belt. Talk about a rough ride!
I think your right ,who knows anymore with the level of deceit they have sold us in the past ,I, like you like to make up my own mind about things ,but i still look at the issue as part of passage here on earth ,great machine though WOW . I wounder how long Groutaone,s machine could surf on wet cement when its done or would it bog down like a car does ?
Has to be about a 1.5" slump for the edges to hold...the paver has massive internal vibrators that consolidates the stiff mix. That outfit has got it goin on...very nice setup and production.
They made a few miles of it here in New Brunswick and it failed miserably ,but it was only half as thick. When we run out of oil i guess we,ll see more of these ,problem is with every ton of concrete we release a ton of CO2 ,don't think global warming is a concern when your paving miles of this stuff ,is it?
Hmmm i think we better invent a self cleaning machine or grease the thing with petroleum jelly ,you know just in case ,but even before that ,we should consult the wise sewer ,it hasn't let you down in the past ,just be firm ,don't let it buzz you like last time lol
It is not to reinforce the concrete slab. It is a dowelled joints between portions of pavement, which allow the concrete to move lengthwise (shrink or expand) but would not allow vertical movement. Those smooth bar joints are placed every 15m typically.
The REAL REASON is that there are two things about concrete - 1 - it lasts a long time - 2 it will crack - SO -- the concrete is lightly cut at various points so that the breaks will occur at the light cuts rather than randomly. The *metal frame work goes where they plan to lightly cut* so that when the concrete finally does break at those cuts, there will be strong bars still connecting the (then) two piece together so on piece cannot move up or down without the other piece. In this way, even with cracking, the road will remain "drivable (no sharp juts up or down)" for a long time. PS Short thick steel bars do not provide tensile strength. Long steel cables can provide tension strength - though, unfortunately, they have not really chosen to develop a method of installation for that. PPS Steel doweled joints do not allow the concrete to shrink or expand, it simply keeps them in alignment when the concrete cracks because of shrinking or expanding. The shrinking or expanding of concrete will cause it to break. The dowels are there to prevent usability AFTER it breaks - and it will break - hence scribing(lightly cutting) lines across the pavement at these doweled areas.
You have basically repeated what I said. The smooth bars WILL ALLOW THE CONCRETE TO SHRINK AND EXPAND BUT WILL NOT ALLOW VERTICAL MOVEMENT. That's what those are for. Nothing else. Pre-cutting concrete is an obvious technique to induce cracks in the regular pattern.
We know groutaone like's to make rooster tail on his bike ,it would be nice to see Groutaone go crazy and go try it behind this machine with his new machine; hey if you cant be famous its easy enough to be infamous ,it would be on the net ,in the new,s in the paper ,think of the following he,d get out of that lol

I would turn it up to minus 20celcius for 3months for winter so I could go ice driving on the sea. And then it would be +30c all summer long for 6months :)
I watch these videos. I question my reasons for watching them and yet I still watch them.. So informative thought.
Amazing machinery, I've seen nothing like this in England. Thanks for uploading
It's amazing the machines they come out with!!! It's so cool to watch too lol
Great upload love this kinda stuff and so do a bunch of others.

Schönes Video, schöner Maschinensound, danke!
We have some roads like that too, cement costs more but good for the long haul
That's a hundred year road. They are slowly replacing all the highways in the north with it.

Hundred years is funny myth. Real lifetime is between 35 and 50 years.
@@rykmat2542 could last forever like Roman stuff if we started using fibreglass rebar instead of steel
New driveway? Nice!
I bet with some wide tires and a good head of steam, he goes pretty far.. Recently saw in the news a guy in a Porsche didn't want to wait for the cars ahead of him in line, so he past them all and drove up to the wheel wells into fresh concrete. Now he knows why the thruway was all backed up. lol!
Pretty cool, Thanks
I saw an old couple about to walk accross there, they sure got yelled at then backed away lol
If I'm not mistaken, this is somewhere in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I used to live there years ago and they were quite fond of concrete for the main heavy traffic roads.
was this down in the USA?
why was that thing in the last scene scraping it? Seems to me the just spent a few hours making it smooth.
Are most of the roads in Canada made of concrete? because here in holland everything is asphalt. nice vid!
I need one of the those for my driveway = )
thats really cool i like the skreeding machine

Wow so that is how it's done!
I use to do the same job in England by Tamp and shovel and a finished off with a yard brush to put the lines init very hard work 12 to 18hrs a day.

did you write your initials in it ???
Now they're the real Roadkings eh!!☺
is that a road or a warehouse floor?

Wow it's interesting to see how its done in ur country . here in germany they use other mashines and other material :O

Can someone please tell me which is the name of every machine that takes place in this video?
haha i know im also from new-brunswick i was asking where did they fail with this stuff?
why do they putt lines in it?. always wondered. anyone
Too long and cold..You did not just say that!!lol I'm revoking your Canadian card lol Cool vid. Looking forward too more buggy updates ..
Do you ever do any heavy equipment work?
And with luck you won't. I used to drive truck over the road and always dreaded having to drive the concrete sections of the interstates. Unless they were brand new, or located in the extreme southern latitudes, they'd make you wish you'd worn your kidney belt. Talk about a rough ride!
Thank you everyone for the thumbs up, you guys are awesome!

It increases the traction between the tires and the road surface, in particular on the wet and slippery surface.
Slip form paving.
Am into constructions and I'd love to get more information on these projects and where to get such equipment
the paver is made by GOMACO. made in Idaho Grove iowa. the TC (texture and cure) is made by terex
do you guys not have tarmac on your roads? ive always wondered why they are white
it looks awesome
No, I was just passing by and thought I should record this
I think your right ,who knows anymore with the level of deceit they have sold us in the past ,I, like you like to make up my own mind about things ,but i still look at the issue as part of passage here on earth ,great machine though WOW .
I wounder how long Groutaone,s machine could surf on wet cement when its done or would it bog down like a car does ?
Man i didn't know the road where that thick wow.
Bloody hell, that slab is thick. That must be a shit ton of weight they expecting on it over it lifetime.
I want to dive into it
Name of this machine!?
i want a driveway like this :)
overkill
what kind of slump did you guys need for this? the concrete looked pretty dry
Has to be about a 1.5" slump for the edges to hold...the paver has massive internal vibrators that consolidates the stiff mix.
That outfit has got it goin on...very nice setup and production.
They made a few miles of it here in New Brunswick and it failed miserably ,but it was only half as thick.
When we run out of oil i guess we,ll see more of these ,problem is with every ton of concrete we release a ton of CO2 ,don't think global warming is a concern when your paving miles of this stuff ,is it?
Hey i was wondering why do they put those lines in the concert ? they already have a perfect slab why put lines in it ?
Maybe they're still going to reinforce it with steel rods?
If everyone just drove darn offroaders and lifted trucks we wouldnt need to waste all the diesel and ashfalt/cement to make roads haha
Holy crap thats some thick concrete.... get the firebird out to do some burnouts on it!!
You guys give me awesome video ideas ha ha, will they let me wash the cement off my Busa rail before they arrest me?
traction? I can imagine smooth concrete would be slicker than snot when it's wet
They put a tined finish on it, very good traction with rubber tires.
Das ist aber keine Wirtgen Maschine?
The answer to "who will build muh roads"
where in N.B?
What is that second machine and what does it do?
Rolling finishing deck or train, puts the final finish on the slab.
Art
PoorDummIdiots go away
they can do my driveway any time
first to do a burnout on it??
That's great, but how soon can I drive on it?
you can walk on it that day but they wait 7 days for it to cure.
Agh.... COOL!
Its all good
as interesting it looks , it also looks like a slow and costly expense , what is the benefit over bitumen ?
It will last ten times as long and has much better traction.
Why concrete? would asphalt not be a better alternative
One of the four maritime provinces ,eastern Canada ,and the only official bi lingual province in the country ..
Hmmm i think we better invent a self cleaning machine or grease the thing with petroleum jelly ,you know just in case ,but even before that ,we should consult the wise sewer ,it hasn't let you down in the past ,just be firm ,don't let it buzz you like last time lol
Concrete highways blow. Just wait until after the frost heaves.
How exactly does a properly constructed and maintained concrete highway succumb to frost heave?
its more of the usa is more likely to pour concrete roads like that then up here in canada.
All they need is more guys behind the score machine to make it smooth again ha ha
No reinforcement? Those joiner things are for the gaps only.
This highway will be torn out and replaced in probably 10 years. Not worth putting steel
looksl ike a "How its made" show without narration
What is the purpose of the metal frame/s at 0:54 ?
Reinforcing. It strengthens and holds the concrete in tension. Concrete has high compressive strength, but it's tensile strength is vey weak.
reinforcement make the concrete stronger.
It is not to reinforce the concrete slab. It is a dowelled joints between portions of pavement, which allow the concrete to move lengthwise (shrink or expand) but would not allow vertical movement. Those smooth bar joints are placed every 15m typically.
The REAL REASON is that there are two things about concrete - 1 - it lasts a long time - 2 it will crack - SO -- the concrete is lightly cut at various points so that the breaks will occur at the light cuts rather than randomly.

In this way, even with cracking, the road will remain "drivable (no sharp juts up or down)" for a long time.
PS
Short thick steel bars do not provide tensile strength. Long
steel cables can provide tension strength - though, unfortunately, they
have not really chosen to develop a method of installation for that.

Steel doweled joints do not allow the concrete to shrink or expand, it simply keeps them in alignment when the concrete cracks because of shrinking or expanding.

where do you buy a machine like that
+Eric Towet how about the internet u thick
Because why not?
I want buy this two machines anyone know there names please.
Good thing when they are coming a guys got time to get out of the way lol
That machine must be moving a half-a-hour or less huh?
Oh, highway 11 between Shediac and Rexton ,north of Monton .
Not really, would be a fun job though
that is the truth.
Igualzinho no Brasil! #SQN
Wish they had one for sidewalks
Not 100% sure video title say's highway machines. but either way it's some thick stuff haha
winter skipped ohio i only had it snow 2 times and melt in about a day or 2 and i live in northern ohio
haha i supose thanks for the answer i never did know.
good
We know groutaone like's to make rooster tail on his bike ,it would be nice to see Groutaone go crazy and go try it behind this machine with his new machine; hey if you cant be famous its easy enough to be infamous ,it would be on the net ,in the new,s in the paper ,think of the following he,d get out of that lol

Heard that man. I been a mud head for almost 20 years now
Concrete roads?
Why?
Heavy traffic, concrete will last much longer
I would turn it up to minus 20celcius for 3months for winter so I could go ice driving on the sea. And then it would be +30c all summer long for 6months :)
