DailyDiesel Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 All right, since we have some professional construction types here I have a question regarding road "repairs". What is the logic or reason for milling the road about every 10 yards to place a strip of new asphalt from shoulder to shoulder? Each strip is about a foot long. God help you if have a bad back on this portion of 81 outside of Whittney Point, NY. Quote www.dailydieseldose.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Maikshilo Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Are you with us?? I thought maybe you were shacking up with the moose in the woods. Yes my friend I've been 2.5 hours from home all week and headed back at 2:30 AM and I hope not to see any moose or deer on the way!All right, since we have some professional construction types here I have a question regarding road "repairs".

God help you if have a bad back on this portion of 81 outside of Whittney Point, NY.It sound's like they are trying to take the high spots out of the road....but you would only do this in the travel lane and one foot does not allow time for the milling machine to react. Unless they were using a skid steer trimmer to run side ways to the road.Good question. Need Tim's opinion for that one. Rob Rob, My answer to this would be Band aid!!! Seen here we trimmed 4 feet wide for the over lay to butt against the shoulder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Could be where the seams were and they heaved up with the frost. They did that on the Quickway from Goshen NY to Chester then milled it afterward to get a consistent grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Horse Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Back to the question about a one foot band every 10 yards?? Assume it is width of roadway? I would guess this was a concrete road that was repaved with asphalt-could they be doing the expansion joints in original concrete that have heaved?

Red Horse Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 As you guys get excited about milling machines, about a month ago I'm southbound on Mass I-495 around exit 13 or so. Traffic starts slowing. detached low boy is on shoulder like they are going to load something. Then just other side of bridge abutment is Agreggate Industries machine on its side-underside facing the road- OOpps! My guess is they were positioning to load and shoulder had quite a slope to it-as well as soft ground. Don't think anyone got hurt other than ego as only news coverage was the traffic slowdown.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Hey Tim!

Enough time to sent in my reports then bed!As you guys get excited about milling machines, about a month ago I'm southbound on Mass I-495 around exit 13 or so.

Don't think anyone got hurt other than ego as only news coverage was the traffic slowdown.To bad! Top heavy machine and then add a tank of water and full fuel tank to boot, would make things happen quickly. As for milling every ten yards, I have no ideas on this....would make more sense to just mill the whole thing out? Here is a pull off that we paved in then it was decided to mill it up the next day in Alburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
