Clearing land

Today, we are going to clear some land with a Cat 312B L and friends. Hopefully you enjoy this diorama as much as I did, I feel it was better than the other ones posted on here.

The contractor is Capital Paving and Ronald J. Wagner Grubbing and clearing. Another company did all the trucking, including dumping debris and trucking in asphalt. The project will be a road paved on a stabilized base.

Crews begin by cleaning up a ditch built by local ranchers long ago to prevent flooding.









There are large boulders present and these are trucked off, but the soil is used to fill in holes around the site.











Some large rocks are loaded up to be trucked down a mile to be crushed for road base.












Crews use the 650h to begin moving soil around and removing the top layer of ground.







Now, Capital paving arrives to finish grading so a reclaimer can be used. Note that the compactor is being used to make the ground stable enough to keep a heavy machine like the reclaimer from sinking in the ground. The ground will be compacted further when this is done.


















A big machine arrives tomorrow, so please tune back in... We will mix in lime and cement
