Awesome Mighty bulldozer and truck building new road across forestry swamp

Cool, plenty of marsh land remaining. I like driving on roads instead of hiking through marshland.😎

Back in the 1960's, while in the military, I did a considerable amount of road building across tundra areas in Alaska, very similar to what I am seeing in these videos, and yes, we did install cross drainage about every 200 yards. We used slate and dirt mixed as road base which worked well because we were building on a foundation of perma-frost, however this road is built on a foundation of mud and will continually sink. The water content is exceedingly high and the pressure exerted downward, which extends outward at a 45 degree angle on each side of the berm, which is not being compacted like the center of the road and won't contribute at all to the stability. The road will continue to sink under its own weight over time due to gravity and capillary action and will require a continuous re-surfacing with additional material just to maintain the same elevation as long as it is used. Once that maintenance ends, the swamp will eventually reclaim the area and in the wettest areas the road will sink to the original elevation quickly. Whatever this road leads to must be extremely valuable and I don't think the environment enters into the equation.

Mother Nature will claim back her swamp. One rain storm away from wash away that road bed.

Бальзам на душу. Я много лет работал на бульдозере на130м

Trusted drivers 👍

Excelente filmagem.

Why don't they clear all the vegetations? Is just dumping soil on vegetations allowed, road might continue sinking non stop.

Güzel bir iş ve güzel bir çekim teprikler 👍😊

Drain the swamp!

I designed and built many haul roads for mines in Africa using Cat 77 and 785 trucks for hauling ore and waste. Many over swamps where ground conditions were so soft it was virtually impossible to walk without disappearing out of sight. I would get local labour to cut all bamboo and brush and leave it laying on the surface, over this would be a laid layers of geo fabric and finally 3 or more meters of mine waste. The geofabric prevents the underlying mud from being pumped into the fill by the movement of the trucks and equipment and allows the fill to be truck rolled into a solid stable base. Without the fabric roads over soft muddy swamps rapidly fail as the fill is driven into the swamp and the mud hydraulics up into the fill, a never ending maintenance issue which slows truck cycles and destroys tyres, suspensions and running gear. Unless this road is being built over a swamp which is a thin veneer over solid rock, which if it is in northern climes - where glaciation has planed off the weathered soils - I would expect you to have many stability issues. in the tropics of course there is usually 10’s of meters of often sensitive clays below the swamp surface.

A road to nowhere..

Tenho curiosidade saber quais animais tem nestes pântanos , raridade ver um . Abraços!

good job dozerman... 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I wish you would show it until it complete building that road

So they just.cover the land with dirt and not clear all the vegetation first? I know it's cheaper, but you'd think the ground would be unstable and sink over time.

Water channels need to be placed across and under the roadway to link one side of the swamp to the other, or you will have problems later on. The road needs to be wider too.

Parabens pelo vídeo e obrigado por compartilhar. Fico imaginando como essa estrada resistirá, sendo construída em cima deste lamaçal. Acho que sem compactação suficiente. Também tenho dúvidas quanto a passagem de água. Abraço!

Great operator!

Amazing~~~~~~
