Mechanical Concrete This Changes Everything HD

[Music] real innovation in road construction doesn't happen very often but this changes everything introducing mechanical concrete the only industrial-strength aggregate confinement technology this ASCE award-winning confinement system is patented in the united states and canada it's permeable erosion resistant and environmentally friendly it even works underwater car tire don't with stone which would support the weight a truck hauling 75 to 80 thousand pounds but it does every week what about now don't have to do anything to it civil engineer Samba naso discovered mechanical concrete while looking for a way to clean up a pile of waste auto tyres he realized a tire derived cylinder can transform simple crushed stone into a virtually indestructible construction product which can cut industrial road maintenance by at least 75 percent the genius of it is in its simplicity people watch a demonstration and say now why didn't I think of that here's how it works the foundation of an industrial Road is normally compacted stone aggregate such as grated lime stone when compacted stone gets wet it begins to weaken then when pressure is applied the stone particles spread out laterally and the structure of the road base is lost this causes potholes running road edge collapse and loss of road wind mechanical concrete geosynthetic cylinder confinement technology prevents the stone aggregate from moving laterally creating a foundation for the road that is at least three times stronger most geosynthetic confinement technologies are manufactured honeycomb products which are more expensive to buy and install require more maintenance and are easily damaged mechanical concrete is the first low cost low maintenance industrial-strength geosynthetic cylinder confinement technology mechanical concrete is a system of waste tire derived cylinders made by removing both sidewalls from a waist auto tire they are then filled with granular aggregate material such as ash toe number 57 stone combining these materials creates a stronger more durable more dependable road foundation if you take a cylinder and fill it with stone it will harden up instantly and that's what happens with mechanical concrete don't Sam came up with this idea it was always a struggle and it's a lot more cost effective than building say an interstate where you have ten inches of concrete it's amazingly simple it just works innovation in any industry happens when we question fundamental concepts mechanical concrete changes the way roads are built and maintained let us help you make your roads stronger and last longer [Music]

I’m waiting for a redditor to ruin this for me

Mechanical FREAKIN concrete!

What if instead of the cars driving on the roads, the roads drive the cars

[u/Cadecz]

It's probably a good idea but what an absolutely awful video
