You can't beat a roller for compaction although that Bomag ped roller is a crock of shit to use, it is so awkward and antiquated, the control are not smooth whatsoever - I'd never buy or rent one.

S38 Highway Adoption works on a small private estate, final surfacing works yesterday after all the kerbing remedials, drainage surveys etc etc
Got a nice finish on the surface, like a bit of glass!
Small access roadway washed away by recent rainfall reconstructed

haha! I'd forgotten what it used to look like there Tony!
Things have changed further around the corner, bloody great big roundabout there now. Used to be a nice 70mph sweeping corner!

I'd get complaints (and I do) about water pooling on new bitmac like that, even though the levels & falls are all good; I have to tell them that oil and water don't mix - when it cures/oxidises the water will run off better! I could write a book about it LOL
