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.
The Alaskan Pipeline was an another amazing construction job. They had to deal with Permafrost and worst. Sections above grade in insulated pipe to avoid melting supporting terrain under.
Did you ever use geo-tech fabrics there to help spread uneven settlement? I've seen it used on some projects; roads, parking lots, behind retaining walls. Once I saw a 25' x 25' layer of asphalt in middle of parking lot being suspended by the fabric after a sinkhole developed. Good news / bad news... if no fabric, sinkhole would have been discovered earlier, after failure, fabric prevented traffic from driving into a sinkhole.
@@avantr242 I studied engineering when I was in college. The pipeline project is all over internet including RUclips. Long time ago before internet, some really good TV programs covered things like this. I was a nerdy geek at one time - LOL.
@@SJR_Media_Group lol I gotcha but I was wondering because I’d like to gain information and more understanding about this construction because one day I’m thinking of doing this kind of work
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.
I'm sorry dumping rock and spreading it with a dozer to fill a wetland isn't something to brag about. There doesn't seem to be any way for water to flow through it and I would expect it to wash out. From a former forestry water quality management inspector.
Wetlands and swamps are there to relieve the water runoff and enrich our habitats. Building roads and filling wetlands and swamps are just like blocking our own arteries! And we all know what will happen.
They will add appropriate pipes for water flow at a later stage during the work. All we are seeing here is the first phase of the job. From a road worker and surfacer.
There's obviously not a code enforcement officer around, But if you had to put a road through wetlands like this This is how it starts. See where your problems are and really start digging them out with excavators, fix the drainage issues Rip rap the road No problems. Lol, Great video. Where is this in the world? If I had to guess South America isk.
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.
They needed to mix that dirt with rocks and gravel. Especially at the lower levels. Also “drain pipes” should have been put in very so often to allow water flow to each side to keep flooding on one side or the other to a minimum.
Thankx eskaloon, I wondered if this was a permanent road of if it shifted, sank, etc. I had no clue the road would be completely consumed by the wet land. Fascinating 👌
Both sided righ and left side of the road should have been drained first ,ditched to allow water and moisture content to escape in order for the marked subgrade for the actual carriage way to be built hardens . And then large boulders should be sank from a rock quary pit . And more compaction should be applied for the hardening. With this materials used and that thickness as time goes by the road bed will sink
I was about to reply with the same comment. I'm no "Greenie" but "swamp is just a derogitory word for "Wetlands" and I'm with you. Sure use the land if you have to but don't just destroy it look after it too.
Is this a "convenience " road for a specific person or an industry that needs to save travel time and is it built to a standard, or will there be a need for regular maintenance.. I don't know, just asking....it's built over a swamp..
Most people are clueless of what is beneath the road they are driving on... The sub-base has to be created, either by removing or adding soil. Looks like base here is several meters or more of fill that was brought in from a quarry or pit offsite. Depending on use of road, it has to support normal traffic and heavy loads from trucks. A bad job done on sub-base can result in expensive and repetitive maintenance for years to come. Sub-base is more important than the road surface itself. Bad surface can be quickly repaired. Bad sub-base, requires removing road surface, and layers of material to expose problem. Repeat in reverse, add new soil, compact, final sub-grade, add road surface.
that would not be allowed here in Australia, the greenie freakes would tie them selves to the dozer to stop the work. frogs and crickets are more important than industry
Interesting how road is moving through the swamp. As a child I loved playing with toy trucks and I still play with them D..They look like toy trucks from above. I wonder if there are dangerous snakes in there?
Just noticed how straight and level this fill is. I don't see any grade stakes, or side slope stakes. If this is by eye, someone has a pretty good 'eye'.
@@timvolkmer1121 Thank you. I used to do supervision in field. I was constantly amazed at how accurate good equipment operators are. They have developed keen eyes from years of practice. I had big project where we were making several old gravel pits into luxury residential and commercial building lots. Pit was used when gravel mined for new freeway. Had 2 40 acre rectangular open pits that got sculpted to add curves. One section next to future apartments needed inlets cut in. grading contractors look at 'plans' asked a few questions, and went to work. It came out better than I could ever imagine. That was 40 years, the development is a gem in our city now. Mature landscaping, water features, and happy everyone.
@@SJR_Media_Group Im still at the beginning of my career as an Operator (just finished my 3 year apprenticeship here in Germany), and im impressed at how awesome a lot of my colleagues operate their machines. About a year ago i was at a medium sized project in Munich where we restored drillings for natural gas. We built the areas for the drilling crew so there was a shit ton of dirt and gravel movement. At the end of each drilling operation we removed the entire gravel and restored the areas. Two of them were in a protected forest so landscape designer designed the finished area. When we wanted to start rebuilding the landscaper said that he will get someone with gps to measure the pond and paths in but my colleague just said "print the top view and maybe one or two depths onto an A4 paper and hand it to me". Three days later the finished product looked amazing and almost like on the plan. And thats one of the reasons why im very proud when that guy tells me that im a very good operator, and an even better one when you consider that im only 21 and regularly operating since 4years

Terrible. The road won't last 6 months. They should have start with clearing site and excavating, especially on wet lands. Plant culverts then roadbed.
Not the best looking material I would use to make a road base out of across a swamp, - mind you if nothing more than motor bikes and people were going to be the main users then I suppose it was wide enough. Bit boring having to watch those trucks back all that way every time, - in 24 mins we saw 6 loads delivered. In other videos of yours the trucks are fully loaded, - in this one they only looked part loaded - couldn't the road take the weight of fully loaded ones, - if so it showed it was the wrong base.

Cool, plenty of marsh land remaining. I like driving on roads instead of hiking through marshland.😎
Mother Nature will claim back her swamp. One rain storm away from wash away that road bed.
Why don't they clear all the vegetations? Is just dumping soil on vegetations allowed, road might continue sinking non stop.
its just said...vegetation... without the S
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.

Wow good job l like 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
I wish you would show it until it complete building that road
This is going to be so many soft spots and sink holes that the road will be un deivable in less than a week
