Since I'll be in charge of batching, I have the added responsibility of taking moisture reading on the sand and rock. Last Friday proved our point of not working on that day. There were two accidents, one including 7 cars. People just don't know how to slow down in a construction. I was told by the end of the night cars were driving through the area at 20 mph, because traffic was so backed up.
Last night was a bad night for the contractor. We put Calcium chloride in the concrete so it sets faster. Well the calcium truck sprung a leak, and instead of stopping where it was, it kept driving back to the plant. So left a nice trail of calcium chloride on for th road for 4 miles. This attracted the highway patrol, who called our maintenance supervisor. Eventually for some reason HAZMAT was called out. In the end KDOT maintenance cleaned it up, and the contractor will be getting a nice big bill from us.
