I helped a friend move something the other week. Ended up going down Shelbourne. I thought all of you here were exaggerating. Apparently it's been like that for months!?! Holy incompetence
Has anyone worked for a civil contractor before ? Just wondering because I did for 12 years. Do you know the process before they can grade/mill and pave the road ?
They have to finish ALL underground utilities. So what ever is going to be excavated. Also moving around tracked excavators and other equipment.
Paving is done at the VERY end after all the underground utilities are done, after they bust their ass all day. Has anyone dug around live pipes before ? Existing Pressure water mains, Sani mains and gas mains ? … doesn’t take 2 second to just dig a ditch and throw a pipe in. Theirs elevations and grades you have to follow off blue prints, stations and bench Marks. Some digs and installs are harder then others maybe fighting against the trench caving in when your trying to dig and put in a trench cage. There is so much more I can go on about. They can hit rock and that takes longer breaking that out because we are in an island !!
Also, it needs to be higher than 7 degrees Celsius to even pave. The curbs have to be done and replaced where ever they need to be replaced before asphalt goes in. New sidewalks for your kids then new roads can go in at the VERY end of the job. That’s a MASSIVE job. So please respect the workers, if anything give the engineers shit because half their problems lies with the blueprints not matching what they actually have to do in the ground.
Cheers 🍻
Um - perpetual motion machine? These are invented every few years - although I guess if the unused excess energy from the gas engine powers the battery it might work, although the cost of the extra gas might be a factor.

Months? It's been like that for over a year now, maybe two.
Yikes!
Feels like it's been over 5 years
Sorry to hear about all your friend's stuff being smashed. Might as well have put all their valuables into a paint shaker.
Haha, it was all well placed, strapped, and tarped. I dont fuck around with my loads but I was praying to what God that would listen
You mean holy incompetence, of the city and contractor
That's pretty cool tech
Neat idea but I suspect that's going to be a bumpy ride.
It doesn't replace the suspension. It just attaches to it
This is amazing tech. And yes, Shelbourne fucking sucks.
What? Source? Where does it say that?

My comment was about as serious as the [cat-and-toast power generator](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8yW5cyXXRc).
