Eventually, we are able to turn this rubble into a road.

Has the sideshift cylinder ball fallen off that 16 yet..?

Because the overlayed surface is now 150mm higher than the subgrade, the shoulders are pulled up to match.
This client requires 100%RDD for these projects.

No Nige, the ball is still hanging in there.
We keep that grader for bush work, so it certainly doesn’t get any special treatment.

Nice to know it's still going strong. I suspected it was a bit on the big side for the project you're currently engaged in.

Imagine hitting something like this on the highway........... there are more camels in Australia than there are in the Middle East.

Q - Very familiar with the yellow nuke box but was does RDD stand for? Assuming it's 100% density just never seen that acronym.
Oh yeah - I had no idea there were camels Down Under!

There's a warning not to let the moose lick salt off your vehicle in Jasper National Park.

RDD =Relative Dry Density
Don’t know how the numbers all work, but we usually don’t have any trouble getting to 100% with this material, providing we add enough water and mix properly.

I can not see the twenty traffic controller (19 of them sitting in vehicles) The ten foremen sitting in cars and the the five thousand witches hats. There is also a terrible lack of warning signs everywhere.
Can not be being done in Queensland.

I can understand your scepticism.
Because we are working for local govt., everything has to be above board.
We have traffic management plans and traffic guidance schemes, but for once, common sense prevails and, due to the remote location, we are able to get away without controllers and only a minimum amount of signage.

While I’ve got nothing against our city dwelling friends, I’ll have to agree with you.
Most of the passing traffic will call up and ask when and where we would like then to come through.
Although, we did blow blow off a bit of steam when someone brought 2 B-double loads of cattle over our freshly laid gravel the morning after we received 2 inches of rain.

Do you think I am the only one that reads your post with an Australian accent in my head. Might be the Kangaroo.

Since the initial 2 inches, we have had another 5, all in storms.
I can’t see us doing any more work before Xmas.
We desperately needed the rain though, so not the slightest bit worried.
With all the forecasting and radar that’s around today, we still get caught out sometimes.
Managed to drown the three little pumps when the dam we had them in bywashed.
Could the high tide mark at the bottom be another way of measuring the crown we have in the road?
BTW, we don’t talk that much different to Canadians,eh.
