No it doesn't make much difference Tony as long as its decent to carve there isn't much that can't be put right if you do make a mistake. 7k pillars though so I took it steady :;):

Great that park Dave looks painted on

Last week we crushed up all our sorted concrete waste at our EA-approved waste site to produce a graded certified recycled aggregate - no 6F2 Bingo here! Being in total control of what we recycle stops the lumps of wood, plastic etc etc appearing in the end product.

Some 1100 tonnes produced in a little over a day. The Terex Finlay J1160 crusher is a hungry beast, crunching through concrete as fast as a 14 ton machine with a 4ft bucket can load it!

what kind of cost is one of these crushers for a day??

I know what you mean about controlling what goes in the crusher.thats why i produce my own stuff. got fed up with the rubbish that was being delivered!

4600m2 town centre car park resurfaced and re-lined in Taunton, Somerset - Looks like a Stealth bomber!

430 tons of 10mm SMA machine laid, car park remained partially open while we worked, either side of the town carnival weekend! Was a challenge at times, but we did it.

Looks the business there dave. Hlw long did it take?
Was it an overlay?

[Dave_L]

The whole job took just over 8 working days - plane off the existing asphalt to receive the new overlay - which was only really around the gullies and perimeter - think we only took about 50 ton off the job.
The bit that made it easier - was that the perimeter posts (one every couple of metres) were being replaced - so we just snapped the old ones off, forced whatever was left down into the ground with a jackhammer and then we could perimeter plane to the outside - and them machine lay the whole shebang - otherwise imagine working around countless perimeter posts - making the job perfect for the client and easier for us.

Sounds like a result tnat with the posts.
Round here, road planings are now like hens teeth. Cant sem to get them for farm tracks anymore.

Conversely......I’ve got too much, I tend to just get rid of them rather than haul them back to my yard!
