Rebuilding An Airport Runway OVERNIGHT | Eberhard | Europe Vlog 3 

Well these types of crews have this down to the minute and contingencies are always planned for.

Yeah if you got bunch of McDonald's bozos it would be difficult. And these men are trained and want to be there .

As someone who is an apprentice for this exact kind of stuff (not literally with the heavy machinery, but like same concept): The euphoria is more addicting than caffeine. Literally.

@@mattshelton7423 it can be same concept but it can't be exact if it is not exactly what is in the video lol

@@user-it6cj9yo6w I started writing that comment one way then went back and changed it, missed that one, my B!

the problem is one of access. roads are so limited in space and time it takes forever. a project where we have total control of the site. such as a new warehouse, we can knockout insanely quick.

Yeah that interchange redo in the middle of Indy would be done in less than a month instead of the what? 2 years they plan on taking.

Aye I just moved away from that shit hole

Or michigan, omg the roads suck here

Yeah that will be an excellent idea but they might be too efficient for some people’s liking

So dainty, like a woman brushing her seat with a handkerchief before sitting.

It took him 3 trys to figure out where to put his bucket 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@DaelinTV I believe there was still some material in the bed of the truck that didn't come out and he was pushing it out of the way.. It was pretty obvious that he wasn't trying to figure out where to put it as in an empty bed, you just put it in the center of the bed.

@@VagueMemory Yep, youre right. when driving on Sleipner Wheels, there is always a small amount of gravel in die dump truck, where the excavator can place his bucket on.

Apa yang Anda pikirkan?

There was something like that for bulldozers back in the 30s and 40s i had a 1937 Allis Chalmmers bulldozer that listed as a option in the manual a set of wheels that bolted on the side in the center and use the drawbar as a hitch to tow it to the next job

Same goes for snow removal on airport runways, you have to move from runway to runway in groups w your equipment and if you are on an active runway at the wrong time it's called an incursion and you will be most likely fined/jailed and even the FBI get involved.

@@markroderick3300 Just out of curiosity do you remember how many tons your dozer was?

@@AbeTweakin nah FBI won't get involved, in the US it'll be the NTSB and mostlikely you'll "get a number to call" first

Jesus didn’t realize the knife river boys make it down to wy. I’m right off the knife river myself.

I’m just passed Splitface Junction

@@vidkeeper9 ya they're all over the country nowadays. They're all over idaho Montana and I believe Nevada too. And of course North Dakota.

I've seen knife river in Cali too.

That's what I was thinking. Nothing would get accomplished if it was chaos

why should they are be germans, in zurich switzerland?

Top tier operators in the country for that job

@@kk.9091 Swizz people only launder money, make chocolate and cheese.

@@kk.9091 even better, Swiss German.

thanks for watching Austin

That‘s actually the way the do it in mines

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ what the fuck are you on about, you lunatic. If God is real then he must be a c-nt because what kind of prick gives cancer to children or starts wars and famine

eemily792 v Mei 2021 Emily...

The project when your wife asks you to put up new shelf. After couple months the penalties can quite add up. Sometime you even need to pay for extra dinner.

interstate highway shutdown like 5 grand an hour

10000 an hour on an interstate shutdown. We had to have the job lined out right to pull six miles of two lanes and pour back full depth in a 60 hour window.

@@mastadriver winner

Port of Miami tunnel 50 grand a day

Crazy how the Swiss government is the one doing this entire airport refurbishment project

@@TheMountainViewCompany sorry lemme edit hat since it was unclear

Thats because in the U.S. the jobs are all union jobs and the unions strectch these contracts out. As they say job security. They also know that they can squeeze as much money as they can out of it because they are federally subsidized.

@@sohomesick1 I could be wrong i never looked into it. But there are states in the south were unions are "outlawed?" For that exact reason. So the conclusion is the government likes to waste money

​@@LeeFox1337 government does indeed like to waste money.Look at what they have been giving to Ukraine, billions upon bilions.And the worst thing is they gave a two year education system budget of the entire US to Ukraine in a single payment,one of many.Not to mention those millions of homeless people that could have been helped with that money.Or the health care that could have benefited from that money.But no,let's give money to the most corrupt country in the world and let's feel good about ourselves

They are custom made. Eberhard also developped the „Schienenhobel“ to rip out tram tracks.

I knooooowwww :(

everyone's hiring!

I got a job staging equipment for a big rental company and it's great so far. I have an app on my phone that tells me what machines I need to stage and I just need to make sure they are full of fuel and functioning properly... I'd say the coolest part of the job is testing brand new equipment. It shows up with plastic on the seat and etc less than 10 hours, and my job is to figure out how to operate it so that I can show everyone else. Coolest thing I did recently was function test a brand new fully electric Takeuchi mini ex. It was brand new, and fully charged but it kept showing a code for a battery issue. After lots of testing and seeing everything was fine we just called Takeuchi - turns out with these electric excavators you need to drain the battery down to less than 5%, then recharge...

Not even close 😂. Bruh the whole airport ain’t worth that

Probably somewhere in the 50-100 million dollar range.

You could rebuild the airport for 2 billion? The penalties are only huge because of the airline's liabilities in Europe. If your flight is delayed there you get a cash settlement that increases with the delay.

I’d agree with the billion dollars. I just did an interstate job, 1 mile of new full depth construction new D.I s dropping fiber optic cable and telephone in some areas where new sub grade elevation ran into cables it was for 85 million

@@TricksterTimbo exactly, 80 million for 70 nights

yuuppp. they turned it into a trailer :D

Yeah that's how you get a track machine across a wide area in a hurry without tearing up the surface you're crossing or overheating the rollers in the tracks

Don’t let the safety manager see them do that in the US, they’ll find a dozen regulations that say that’s unsafe. Meanwhile every where else in the globe the job gets done without even a near miss happening.

thanks for watching

hahahahahahaha some of my all-time favorite memories

thanks Nick. We're learning!

Thanks for watching Andy

So people don't have the right to be appreciative of the hard work of several hundreds of people to prevent the delay of several thousands of pre-booked flights while still done precisely enough for hundreds of people to trust their lives to land on an hour old run-way just because you have to "one up" them? Aright.

@@cesarpalmos8235 we got a pessimist here. Did I even remotely suggest people can't be appreciative? no, not at all. I'm just saying, hard efficient work is nothing to be shocked at, that is it, it's not that deep. Also, your little run-on paragraph doesn't make sense, how does "one up"ing = people not having the right to be appreciative? I suggest you stop seeing everything on social media as "toxic", it'll help detox you as well.

@@gwot I like how you are trying to damage control, good luck buddy.

@@cesarpalmos8235 perfectly explained your own situation. I personally don't care about other people, so if I even thought about insulting others, taking away their rights, I would, I don't shy away from it. But putting words in my mouth, and mis-interoperating my words? no, that's you unable to comprehend, much like you right now being in denial and attempting to re-direct that shame onto others.

@@gwot Still at it.

thank you very much Kevin I appreciate you watching

Thank you!!

Stoked to have you

Roller skating rink floors in the early 80s. 16 grit sanding discs glued to the bottom of out boots. Poured it out of 5 gallon buckets and pushed it around with squeegees till it was smooth. The coating did have finely ground glass mixed in for traction with the skate wheels so the coating was slightly opaque. Only had one guy fall down in it. Probably way different today.

This is a heavy equipment channel not flooring

@@TheWowthatsick you would be suprised how much goes into a gym floor hell rubber flooring for a gym HAS to be done in ONE CONTINUS pour and the use five gallon buckets. trust me flooring a gym is no carpeting a house

Yes but asphalt has a better friction coefficient so it grips better

@@jameson1239 Grips better and is quicker to replace so they don't need to shut down operations

@@chewy3141 also recyclable

thank you!

Yeah rail is gnarly too

They replace the electric lines for the beacons too

we recently just really got going. Glad you're here

That's crazy liquidated damages..... I thought 2k per day was crazy for us. I've heard of 10k per day on some medium sized projects.

@@SaulLopez-bu6pg where I live they built a bridge and ripped down the old one and I was told if they didnt finish on time it was one million per day fine for each day they was over. The only reason I believe it was it was a pretty decent sized bridge going over a on ramp to a highway. They built the bridge on the ground and used a new machine that can raise it up and lower it and drive it into place. It was cool to watch them do it when I would drive past there every morning for work.

Runways costs an average, 400-600 million euros. The newly built runway in Dublin was constructed at a cost of about 350 million.
