OMG!!!Motor Grader Clearing Skill , Longest Clearing Gravel Making New Road (Part2)

One worker operating the grader, 4 drones and no traffic control Nice!

I guess the truck drivers only know how to dump their loads and not how to spread gravel.

A master truck driver would drive at a low speed with the tailgate open and tray upright and evenly distribute the rocks like a boss with less need for a grader.

Thanks for showing us how NOT to grade out a new roadway. The trucks should be dumped closer to the roadway. So that the piles slightly overlap the previous work. Then the road grader should work on the high side. Using the already finished roadway as a referance. Use the angle of the blade to catch more, push, or slide off the work material as needed. Once you establish your grade. It's easy to maintain it. Work the grader up and then down the road. Cutting and grading enough so you don't have material bleed from the end of your blade. Doing it this way, you will not only achieve the proper grade on first cut. But the surface will be compacted and the tires of the grader will not sink into the material. You could also have a vibratory roller working next to you. Saving a lot of time. IUOE Local 15 (38 years) Retired.

Safety? No problem. Gotta love the guy unlocking the tailgates, 2-way traffic, etc. The good ol' days of road construction. But we have a drone!

Painful to watch, but that's part of what makes it good I guess, nobody knows what they're doing but they are doing it anyway

Why not spread with the dump trucks?

Thanks for showing us the slow and wrong way to grade.

I'm surprised how many professional grader operators there are in the comments

Motor Graders are a good leveling and grading tool. There is, however, a variation on the asphalt layer that can do this job far more efficiently. It can lay a roadbed foundation or sub-roadbed filler very quickly and more efficiently than even a Motor Grader can. They have been using such a machine for laying highways in my local area for the past several years. Very efficient, and grades the material to be placed as it travels, requires many more dump trucks than seen in this video in order to operate smoothly.

Drivers being tolerant, so nice to see they dont need hundreds of people with stop signs.

Probably a stupid question, but why not have the truck drivers pull up while dumping so you don't have the huge piles to chop down before you can start smoothing it out?

If they would only not dump the gravel in one big pile! It would make grading it soooo much easier.

This was done 2 months, 29 days, 23 hours, and 40 minutes faster than the same job would have taken in Michigan. It's good to not have government and unions slowing down progress!

12 yrs in road building and after watching this i may blow my brains out...WTF

good job🎉

Dudes working in flip flops. 😂😂😂😂😂 At least he’s not scamming our elderly

My first reaction was that this operation should have been using a spreader box not a motor grader to reduce segregation of the ABC. But by the end of the video I was impressed at how well the base course looked. The only issue I have now is the loose thickness of the layer (well over 5") and whether they will be able to obtain optimum moisture and density on the roadway, critical for a durable substrate on which the pavement will be constructed.

Why would you dump them in big piles? What a waste when they could have spread the material out almost at finish grade.
