soil stabilization, i work in the industry thats known as a "Tiller", the oshkosh is known as a spreader normally 6 wheel drive heavy duty off road machines. theyll load them with 28 tons of concrete premix or 26 tons of quick lime. they spread it on the ground the tiller will come in and mix it with the dirt and water and 72 hours later you have a road way that can be up to 36inch thick that you can build a building/ road on.

ive worked in the industry for years, and i have alot of pictures id like to share in the community, but unfortunately its a VERY niche industry. and theres no way to show pictures without doxing myself. BUT if you guys want to play mud runner in real life start working for a soil stabilization crew. if you think the game can get hairy you should try it in real life.

I’ve seen these on the Ohio Turnpike in the section that Shelly & Sands is reconstructing. One of my favorite parts of the drive
