Timothy Maikshilo Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Years ago we were milling in the middle of Newark, NJ at night no less and the milling machine hit cobble stone and broke a bunch of teeth. Here I am after a long night of milling. I marked this man hole and my ground man set up and over it on the first pass but hit it on the gutter pass....oh well everyone was beat and I had some splan'in to do of it.

RFCDrum Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Ugly. You screwed that right up. When we were milling RT 80 in Hackensack the machine caught the storm drain and ripped it out of the ground. We couldn't finish paving until after 6 AM so they were getting fined up the ass by the state.

We don't do a lot of mill and fill so there is time to fix the boo boo's and I'm sure it will happen again this year.A shot from above.

The most expensive part of black top is the oil and so it get's reused. If you can ever get any for your door yard it will last forever.

RFCDrum Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 As long as it's not lumpy broken pieces. Make a good road with millings. I always love when it sticks in the truck and comes out at the last stage of the hoist with a big whoosh!.

RFCDrum Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 the owner of the machine was Topline Const out of njOh green and silver trucks. Mostly Mack tri axles. I 've seen them around. Sucks for them. I was thinking if they hit the main only an inch down then that road at one point was probably lowered and the mark out was correct but was deeper at one time. There is no way they put it on top that much. I could see maybe 12 inches being shallow for rocks and stuff but that's just crazy.

Maddog13407 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Black gold? your tellin me. that stuff is definalty like gold around here. usually someone has ties with the state or something and ends up with a big pile in their yard that they just happen to have room for and resell it. one local truckin company was letting the state store the grinding in their yard last year until the guys pile ended up a lot bigger than the states piles and they loaded it all up and moved it somewhere else. i know a few local contractors that run in back thru a paver really slow and it layes down pretty smooth for a base as long as its fresh. if you let it sit for months in a pile its all clumps and a pain to work with.

RFCDrum Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Years ago I was doing a job in Allendale NJ. I called for a mark out. They were taking their sweet time with it and got impatient and decided to start with some of the work. PSE&G came to mark out the gas (mind you this was around the time those exterminators blew up a house in Waldwick NJ and injured some people). Very nice guy but he says to me I am supposed to write you up because you started before the mark out. He didn't but they were starting to crack down and when you get written up you have to go to a hearing with PSE&G themselves. They have their own court with their own judge. The fines are horrendous. You're not even supposed to put a shovel in the ground with out one. They are all using these independent mark out companies now that never get it very accurate and they take their sweet time getting to the jobs but you have to wait fir them and get your confirmation tickets and emails.
