Stop trying to talk to someone who is in construction already and has been for the last twenty odd years like they don't have any idea. Incase your a bit dumb Newport to Cardiff is not going through the moutains it's flat as its going along the Severn side. You've just got to drive down to Cardiff now to understand that when its down it will be 15 years to late as the road can't take the vehicles at the moment. And that's just one example the M4 from Reading to London even though most is four lanes but that struggles. But please try and educate me on soil if you want because regardless I will design you a concrete to compensate if you want. As to your maths on averages etc you are just trying to argue like you've a clue.
It keeps me in a job, but it's still got to be paid for which you've just got to look at the cost for the redeveloped Mall. And that's with them already owning the land. That relieve road will be billions that will have to be bought via taxes.

Christ we are so slow with construction over here,What Japan does in a month,takes our lot one year to do.
We possibly try and build to quick, houses are covered in efflorescence lime bloom because of trying to build when bricks are wet. But living in this country we have no choice due to it always raining.
actually banksy they are not, so please do not despair, some things seem wrong when they are actually pretty much right ...
how about >3 miles of dual carriageway on wet lowland with 3 roundabouts an adjacent cycle path and 2 of carriageway layby's in 4 months, no overhead bridges but 2 points where it crossed a 4m and 5m wide waterway.... in the uk this would take a year or more .. putting in a bus stop .10 men and 5 weeks ... remove path and 5 m of green space, replace path to allow for flat bus access ... and we wonder why our council tax is so high .....
probably less than 50% travel it a couple times a month now but used to ( up to sometimes ) 5 times or more in a week for 25 years..... they aren't wet after made, they or some of them pick up moisture because not used fast enough or stored in the wet .agree getting them wet cant be helped due to rainy climate ... edit bricks are baked and almost bone dry when manufactured
Wouldn't expect anything less from you. I used to think your stats were bolloxs, now I am sure of it..
JGF stats are very good. However maths and stats can become another language. I do admit that they can be hard to get your head around but they do make sense if you can do so.
I was talking about the walls being constructed when it's raining. Brickwork was very rarely done in wet conditions but that's changed now due to brickies being paid per metre not hourly. If the bricks are wet they draw out the lime in the mortar which then leaves a white chalky look on the houses, once dried. You have only got to go round building sites in the past 20 years to see it. Not the bricks are being laid before they've been made.
???? is the water works putting lead in the water or red trousers slowing traffic adding harmful pollutants to the air .. where does it say bricks laid before they are made ..even my grand children can suss out that one .. bricks can wick or leach the lime out .. yes look under tunnels lined with bricks for the worst case scenario's
Bricks don't leach the lime out, the lime comes from the mortar! http://www.mortar.org.uk/documents/miadata08.pdf
non acceptance of a fact / s by dismissing them by endeavouring to use attention seeking comments is a sign of non comprehension of a subject and an un willingness to learn or inability to ...maybe your vegetables are grown on ground that has high lead content ... it cant be down to lead poisoning from chewing pencils as the "lead" is reconstituted graphite ...
ok so where does the "moisture" come from that dissolves the lime in the mortar (original comments were wet bricks cause the "white stuff" seen on brickwork .. ( keeping it simple as opposed to efflorescence lime bloom ) As part of one of my hobbies my friends work in the design and construction of bridges, including mixes stresses and types of concrete, currently the new m4 in wales, another in the building industry from bare ground to finished article, where his paperwork / certificates take up more than 1 wall, I also use various types of concrete etc in pursuit of that hobby in conditions that can be extremely wet or damp....... so unlike banksy who it seems does not wish to learn or take on board I am the opposite forever widening my knowledge base . even though I have surpassed the bibles limit!
Perhaps if you got your head out of your arse and listened to people then you might understand. I'm done with trying to explain to you
you changed your comment, or cant explain where the moisture comes from without being contradictory draw = leach and dried means after they have got wet, which can only be after manufacture .like left lying around on building sites in the rain .. my previous interpretation of the "white stuff" it was caused by wet bricks that have a high moisture content, and being semi porous the water drains to bottom of brick where it comes into contact with the mortar, the mortar then exudes some of the moisture laden with calcium which then dribbles/seeps out over the outside of the next brick down, evaporation causes the calcium to be deposited, depending on the moisture content, it deposits more or less, when dry bricks are built into the wall you get area's devoid of such deposits...
