I would love for Witt to do a documentary on concrete with a concrete company. From sourcing and delivering the aggregate all the way through to batching and even pumping!
@@BassMaann Like AJAX Paving who specializes in commercial construction Asphalt and Concrete projects, Highways, Airports, etc and whose Headquarters is in Michigan and has operations in Georgia and Florida. They also own and operate their own Asphalt and Concrete Batch Plants both Stationary and Mobile.
@@AaronWitt Awesome I grew up and lived near their Main headquarters in Michigan seen them grow to be the largest commercial Asphalt and Concrete construction companies here they do all the paving for Dans Excavating the largest civil and earthmoving construction company in Michigan. Ajax and Dans have done various huge projects here ie Detroit Metropolitan Airport Runways, Interstate 75 & 275, etc pretty awesome to watch them mobilize, execute pave then demobilize all their equipment, labor, etc including batch plants in such short time frames especially on their Airport and Highway projects where contractors will be hit with financial penalties when exceeding the project deadlines. Hope to see some great project videos from them and thanks for all you do promoting our industry including solutions for the challenges we face in the Construction field.
Many years in big Florida road widening jobs and I hated night work. I lost more and more sleep as the week went by. Luckily I didn't do it too often. It takes a special person to do nights all of the time.
Congrats to Sunland for landing this job! On another note, how in the heck did any Floriday or South East Paving contractors miss out on this job lol? I guess Sunland was able to make this work mobilizing all the way from Arizona - insane!
there is probably less then a dozen companies that can make tracks to f1 tolerance, I bet most of the companies in the south east specialize in paving banking. With the amount of problems the drivers had with Miami last year, the FIA might have made their choice simply based on experience.
Great report,regarding south-east pavers,last years’ track surface wasn’t up to FIA expections,on racing line,this year knife edge of good,slightly off… leclerc crashes in Q3😅
I believe I read about this track in asphalt contractor magazine wish you could have been there for the milling. Nice work as always favorite it for sure.😊
Nice episode. I wonder how this mix differs from standard roadwork ? Must be something special, to increase traction while maintaining longevity of the surface. 👍🤙
Im 26 years old and have done quite a few jobs from Dumping bellys, Raking, Rolling, Paver to finally running buggy done a couple military bases and and airports interstates and parking lots. Would love to one day pave a race track!
Hey Aaron, if you ever are around the Virginia area, take a look into the new highway Branch Civil is building. It's a 330 million dollar project moving 11 million yards of dirt on the side of mountains. There's a whole bunch of cool stuff going on there.
Some of your best work yet Aaron (and crew), wish you could have stayed longer but you covered the project pretty well in my opinion. As always, keep up the good work, and stay dirty!!
When you have to be invited to bid because most contractors have never even seen a print spec sheet like this in their dreams let alone reality. I'm sure the other contractors who didn't win still framed the invite letter and have it listed on their resume. Also, that poor service guy is probably absolutely murding his mobile data plan being on standby the whole time with spares packed in the wings that operation is so tight that Thor could smoke any single machine there with a random bolt of lightning and it would only take an hour to get back on track. "oh, the paver broke down and can't drive anymore... go grab the paver dragger we brought and get it out of there!"
Laguna Seca in Monterey, CA is due for paving in a couple of months would love to see a paver go down the Corkscrew. Granite Construction has the contract hit them up
I wonder what their Mobilization Demobilization and Logistics expenditure is for this project and did they bring their own mobile batch plants, definitely not cheap.
I bet there paving at 20 fpm every paver runner not operator should watch this so sick of paver runners and diesel dummies thinking you have to be at 90fpm
Imagine spending millions to hire a company on the other side of the US, just to have them run Topcon. I would spend millions to hire someone just for trimble
Shame that despite all the care and effort from those workers, the fresh asphalt and circuit design will make the race a yawn fest, hence F1’s need to polish this turd of a weekend with a music festival and fake marina. 😂
