Very insightful on a multimillion dollar operation! I enjoyed this video while sitting on the toilet. 😂

#1 skill for plant operator, pushing the right silo button to not drop asphalt on the trucks hood.

Some of the plants we pick up from in the PNW look like junk yards compared to this plant. Great job !!

Probably the most beautiful Asphalt plant I've ever seen ...:)...Never thought I'd say that about an asphalt plant...Whoever set it up knew EXACTLY how to do it right!

Excellent narrator on this video, relaxed delivery, no information overload, but clearly explained all relevant points

Don't know how this video ended up in my feed, but glad it did.

Work for my city at the plant. I'm a materials tester. I do Marshals, proctor, unit weights, specific gravity, hydrometer as well the mix design for the summer season. Love my job.

I work atca rock quarry and we are in the middle of batching out an order for an asphalt plant. We have been crushing all winter and spring for this one order. The trucks are picking it up now and some days they haul 3/4 clean or 1/2 clean some days it's the man sand or 1/2 minus every once in a while they will haul the 3/8 minus. Knowing how it's made into asphalt is fascinating

Cleanest looking asphalt plant I have ever seen. Impressive.

This narrator is the Hank Hill of asphalt.
What a nicely made video.

I've worked on interstate 95 a few summers back in what's always amazing is how those hoppers can fill The payload of any dump truck within 150 lb of its registered payload

Thank you for providing this video! Asphalt is one of those modern wonders we give little thought to. It looks like you have a very tight and tidy operation. As a retired industrial mechanic I always looked first at how clean and squared awan a outfit was before deciding if I might want to work at a company, Yours is one I would of been interested in.

Your plant is clean and the frontage is perfect.
Here it is very different.
Dusty, smelly, if it not covered in tar. It is covered in rust. I think the last time it was painted is when the plant was built.

A very good explanation how real things that everyone uses and how they are made. Duval looks like a good well organized operation no doubt in business for a long time.

Great video, great explanations, great footage. You must all take a great amount of pride in your place of employment, as I see it is clean, organized, modern, visually appealing, and safe. Very, very cool. 3 thumbs up!

[powercom]

Thanks for that great explanation of the plant, and I have to say what a great looking facility you have, clean, tidy, organized and landscaped it looks great well done

[ralphwaters]

Great presentation. That drone pilot is pretty skillful too. I was waiting for the sparks from the high tension power line at the end, but alas...
