a company doing a highway project near Raleigh its granite construction they have a few of those but other then that I haven't ever seen anyone local use oneLooking Good CM. Don't think I've ever heard a single nice thing about hamm rollers.
Hey CM, thanks for the the update. I saw the Hamm in the pic and was going to ask how it was, to late question answered. Looks like if it is chicken or auto parts you are the guy.
You confirmed my thoughts on the pine. Looked like fast growing trash trees. Strange to see that rock sticking up like that( for me anyway). Sight cleaned up real nice after stripping. Something relaxing about stripping grass and topsoil!
LOL LC yeah we do a lot of fast food and auto related business, it's what comes across the desk. I got an invitation to bid on an industrial expansion for a supplier to one of our large auto manufacturers which I am interested in pursuing.
The pines were pulp wood at best and not enough for a full load, the only plus if we did send them to the mill is that they were heavy.
That's my super on the dozer and I'm in the loader of course. There is something relaxing about stripping topsoil and grass - a combination of starting a new project, the smell of diesel and fresh turned dirt and making a showing at the end of the day. We can team up with him on the 5, me on the 53 and move dirt like a fine tuned V12 - you know when you get in that groove and get **** done, nothing like it.
Hopefully you will get the expansion job. How much dirt is there to move?
I don't know what it's like by you but we can't give away pulp wood. Just finished a job and had to grind up10 to 15 loads. If it were not for export wood we would have been in bad shape with selling logs.
Oh yeah gotta love tag teaming topsoil. Over the years we have had a few jobs where you get two dozers side by side and just push. Kinda mindless, nothing to think about but pushing and like you said at the end of the day it looks like you did something.
I don't go to the capital much but went the other day and saw one and it was down getting fixed so if that tells you anything. "remodel" yeah that's a strong word because they been remodeling for about 5 years nowThanks hvy.
Catwelder, Granite is doing an expensive "re-model" of the I-65/20/59 interchange in Birmingham, otherwise know as "malfunction junction". I have yet to see a Hamm roller on that project but they might have one tucked away somewhere.

The road weight restrictions went off here this morning. Now I can finally go play in the dirt too. This will be my 58th year. Gosh it goes by oh so fast!!!
So far Granite is clipping along on the I65/20/59 interchange here in Birmingham. Bridge piers are sprouting like weeds and pre-cast bridge beams are going in. It's a helluva job.
I think they just doing the actually road here I don't think they are adding any bridges. its still a hell of a mess and the roads are rough
You certainly run a tidy site, CM. Thanks for sharing your pictures. Have you ever run a 4 in 1 on your CTL? I'm curious how they perform in real applications. Over here you hardly ever see 953/963's or backhoe loaders without them, but CTL's of any colour are as common as rocking horse droppings.
