The Importance of Lightweight Portable Swamp Mats in Construction When it comes to breaking ground for new construction projects, there are a number of challenges that present themselves to the project manager. One problem that is common, especially in water saturated areas, is ground that is too saturated and soft to effectively support the maneuver construction equipment. However, soft and sensitive terrain has been conquered through the use of portable swamp mats. Swamp mats are modular pieces that can be connected in order to create a temporary road to allow the movement of vehicles and machinery throughout the construction site, especially those critical work zones that can be difficult to access. Choosing the Right Swamp Mats While there are a number of different swamp mat sizes, designs and manufacturers, it is immensely important to understand that all swamp mats are not created equal, meaning that it is important to choose the right size and type of swamp mat to facilitate the specific construction project that is currently on deck. Fortunately, the latest swamp mat designs are extremely versatile, which means that they can be used in a number of different environments and situations. When it comes to choosing the right swamp mats, the first thing that should be considered is durability. Because these mats will be under significant stress due to the size and weight of the equipment that will be traveling over them, it is vital to ensure that the mats will be able…

I watched the roaring bulldozer demolish the last of my house. The last crunch snapped the final pieces and then they turned off the machine, and it fell silent. It had just hit me how different my life was going to be from then on. I was seven years old when my parents made the executive decision to tear down our old house and rebuild it from the ground up. Every part of our old house would be thrown away to make room for the new one. On the day that my house actually came down, my parents…

A nearby resident, David S., heard the shots. Like many, he was a young man home on leave from his basic military service. He grabbed his army issue rifle and without concern for his own safety ran to the scene of the slaughter. He chased the terrorist up to the roof where he shot him dead. Soon his brother-in-law would also have the opportunity to be the hero. One hero inspires another. The Bicycle Rider and the Bulldozer In 2008, while riding his bicycle down the main street of Jerusalem,…

Visual Analysis Essay Bulldozers are often contributed to collapsed buildings, demolition, and destruction. Many of the images conjured up in our imaginations will represent the negative impact that bulldozers can be responsible for. The image from the advertisement in Global Issues, Local Arguments on page 262, created by the group called Californian’s for Population Stabilization, shows an image of a bulldozer surrounded by toppled trees in a lush, green forest with a heading directly above…

The caterpillar tractor with a blade in the front was not always called a bulldozer. A bulldozer is actually just the blade on the front of the tractor. The bulldozer was invented way before any tractor was built. The bulldozer was a blade harnessed to two mules. The two mules would then push the bulldozer which would push the dirt into a pile, or push the dirt over a bank into a ditch or a hole in the ground. In 1930 someone took the bulldozer blade and combined it with Holt’s tracked…

Monkey Wrench Gang Chapter One: Statement of the Problem An army of bulldozers propels its way through a nearly vacant town, churning powerfully towards the buildings it intends to reduce to meaningless rubble. The remaining inhabitants, left powerless to negotiate with the destructionists, all share an indignant determination to ax the onslaught of the place they call home. As the mechanized gears continue to grind, the approaching bulldozers appear progressively larger to the protesting…

“Protectors, not protesters” were trying to keep bulldozers from starting construction onto burial grounds of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. The Standing Rock Sioux tribal chairman, David Archambault stated that the security of the construction site allowed bulldozers to come at a particular time and by the time the bulldozers were stopped it was too late. The bulldozers ruined the tribal land, desecrated their ancestral gravesites and also destroying prayer sites (Goodman & Moynihan, 2016). On…
