@@YouNeedToHearThis I believe they use the term tarmac for runways which is pretty much or like asphalt 🤷🏻♂️ more grip and holds higher temperatures in winter? But the paving we did with concrete was 18” to 24” deep for the parking areas for planes ✈️ largely for the Pounds per square inch. If I’m correct some weigh 200,000 LBs 😵💫 any way, thanks for checking out the video 👍
Glad you asked 👍 The airport is located in a riverbed area so there’s like 6”-2’ maybe of topsoil then just pit-run consisting of just sand mix up to 2’ boulders. They strip off soil, add any extra necessary pit run then lay down the moisture fabric then roughly few feet of road mix. The ground was as hard as concrete. Specs are very strict out here. We don’t ever pour directly onto soil due to freeze thaw. Thanks for checking out video 👍
Joseph Malinowski hey yo ! 👍It’s the plane parking spots for new terminal! I think it’s 24” . We have 3 more pours this week starting Tuesday at 2:30 again but will be doing some of the infills of the lanes 👍 we have another machine that does curb ,sidewalks & valley gutters🤘
@@WS1_AUTOS_N_STUFF yeah I was wondering do you put huge Expansion Joints in between each poor because the machine has the big tracks does it run on top of the other two slabs it's always pretty cool to see how things are done
Joseph Malinowski I’ll get some pics of the dowels they use . They saw cut then widen the cut then caulk cuts. It runs on top of the other slabs but we have rubber pads for tracks .
@@josephmalinowski6817 I was the one and only one responsible for cutting 16,000 meters of expansion joints @ YYC Airport expansion a few years back. It was the most stressful and intensely accurate accomplishment that I've ever had to complete. Slab is not 24 inches thick, it's 16 / 17 " , with a base underneath. Every single joint had to be exactly 4 and one quarter inches deep, and laser straight. Some runs were 80 joints @ 20 foot between each one. After 3 months of cutting 7 days a week, I made the company approximately 100K, and the cheap prick gave me a bonus of a thousand dollars. 😠
Thanks for the video.
Thank you 👍I’ve got few lil more recent I’ve wanted to share when I get lil more time
@@WS1_AUTOS_N_STUFF I randomly thought to myself "I wonder how airport runways are poured?" and your video answered my question!

Why you not using any type of proofing between the concrete and soil

Started at 2:30 am ! The spots where forms are set is were the mud was a lil higher slump but I enjoy working behind the machine 👍👍🤘
That's the runway that the planes land on what is it about 24" deep. That's some machine
