Geez, I hate having to watch Swiss infrastructure projects. Living in Zurich completely destroyed any residual respect for the way we build in America. Aside from this clever bridge, note how many and how extreme the differences are between what you see in this video and what you would witness watching an American repaving crew. They have a sufficient amount of labor on the job, compared to the 3 guys you would see on an American job. They all have uniform PPE, instead of jeans and t-shirts. Their equipment is clean and looks like it probably works. Site dumpers are appropriately scaled for the job. Bigger dump trucks are normal cabover trucks instead of insane brodozers. They actually use an sufficient quantity of binder, instead of skimping on it because American supervisors can't tell the difference. So many differences in culture.
Does denim not satisfy PPE requirements for most normal job sites? What non-specialized material is better than denim at the requirements you explained?
