Those pumper trucks fascinate me. I still remember when cranes with big buckets were the norm.Looks like they are pouring the concrete bridge deck
Looks to me like one nonstop pour. I see no signs of expansion joints which is strange to me. In Canada a pour this large wouldn't last a year before buckling due to cold and heat. Their sidewalks show the results. No expansion joints and no control cuts. New sidewalks and curbs are all cracked in all sorts of ways around sosua.
Well yes they should have expansion joints and they should be in place for the pour. But this isn't a very long structure and it does not go through the temperature extremes of more northern climates.
They are doing it like gunite pool spray whole area coming back so gravity doesn’t drop has decent grade to it …
one of the most entertaining shows I have seen in my life is the heavy equipment. expo held every two years in Las Vegas NV. Its amazing
If you watch they dig fill then concrete ..no settling on ground or Tamping before concrete.
Yepp, been here 12 years now and seen it EVERY F***ING time.. lots of work like 6 months before the elections.. then when the elections are done everybody stops no matter if the projects are done or not...
Of course it's going to be bumpy, have you ever ridden on a road here in the DR?
Maybe they won't place them. The last one in your picture is pretty much for major movement, which won't happen. They abutment pads could also absorb some movement from the beams set on them.
I think that you would see these in the foto. Let me jump to a conclusion. No expansion joints were used
I hope they have a whirlybird power trowel to make a couple passes, but they probably don't want a smooth finish. Rougher for brake stopping power
look how freaking dirty that water is wow may have to put lights on my crab netsLooks like they are pouring the concrete bridge deck
That's sediment. Major rivers have turn like that when there is much rain along any of the stretches it runs through or any other river that feeds the main one before it reaches the coast since colonial times and before that.
And yet you can see that's exactly what they're doing at 5:45
I see a float leaning up on the edge but no one using it.And yet you can see that's exactly what they're doing at 5:45
The gentleman (Don Felix Corona) who recorded the video (Squirrel!) also mentioned they are going to cover the cement with asphalt.
BTW, what we were calling tubes was actually aluzinc corregated sheets. If you watch his video from last week, you can see the workers laying the sheets, and I'm going to guess they are 2 meters long.
According to him, they will finish the cement today, and he'll come back for another video. Stay tuned.
