This video of a major roadway being built atop a mountain has some excellent drone footage I though I'd share!

Your probably right 1.43 million subscribers I doubt he needs much more £. People over here run YouTube channels with super cars paid for by YouTube with less

I posted the link in good faith as it's one hell of an engineering project using a large fleet of machines.
I don't have a YT channel and am just a viewer. I have no financial interest in this or any video I link to.
If the video is in some way inappropriate or deemed unconnected to the forum I'll delete it.

Generally an add showing one thing to entice people to click, then being something else.
Like the crap on Facebook that shows a hot woman in the pic for something like "you'll never guess what happened to these/this/that or the other then said image doesn't even appear in the page it's linked to, but your generally trawling though single pic with three lines of text per page with a crap load of ads everywhere and between each page

Just goes to show you shouldn’t jump in with both feet before giving new comers a chance or else we’ll frighten people way and that isn’t a way to build a forum

Who ever the contractor is they are just playing at that job, total wrong size machines for working in large rock cuts, should be 50 ton plus excavators and d9/10 size dozers if the rock is able to rip.

Think you’ll find that the main problem in that part of the world is access to the sites, you simply wouldn’t get a machine/s of that size down the roads, round the bends or up the hills, a lot of that size of machine which are in the video are bought in on 6 wheel beavertails

It’s not inappropriate at all
, it’s surprising, how many big projects like that are going on round the the world, that make anything big in the UK look like a walk in the park.

You work with what’s available. Been a few companies here bought the big stuff for one project then had no more work for it. I’ve worked for a couple. Bit surprised they weren’t blasting, though.

there’s a couple cat 336 excavators in the video they will be wider than a d9 tractor once you remove the blade for transport. Larger excavators can be broken down for transport, My cat 345 and 349 the track frames unbolt, counter weights can be Removed. Once you do that you look at a realistic manageable lump to move.

To be fare anything can be broken down for transport, but if you’ve ever been to that part of the world you’ll understand that they don’t really have the equipment to start stripping them down for transport.

We done a windfarm project back in 2009 and access was restricted by a railway bridge. Required most of the dozer blades to be taken off and the cat 345 excavators had to have the tracks removed and pushed into the inside of the trailer.
here’s a video of one of the smaller dozers squeezing through.
