    If there’s peak and valleys the people aren’t working consistently…

    So when you work your job your output is 100% all the time? No, there’s peaks and valleys in your work. Same with construction.

    An excavator or compactor are constant noise all day if they are working effectively. Other than lunch breaks, but sometime they rotate so the expensive equipment doesn’t sit.

    Sure, but how long are they onsite for? Not the entire project. Why?

    No one is gonna pay $300 an hour for equipment and it stay idle 50% of the day, just pissing money away dude.

    Exactly. Which means peaks and valleys in sound. That excavator and compactor get shut off when they’re not in use.

      So at the end of a 12 hour shift…. They sit at a constant rev all day so the oils and hydraulics don’t get cold and stiff, it’s also terrible for seals to be constantly dried out from starts and stops.

      You’re being disingenuous about the actual severity and longevity of construction projects and equipment.

        Or we’re misunderstanding each other and talking about two different types of construction (residential vs commercial) 😁

          Well you said that a leaf blower is this god awful tool that’s used all day when it’s used for a fraction of the time as this construction equipment. Maybe 30 minutes, so if construction has peaks and valleys, wouldn’t also running a leaf blower…? They need breaks they can’t run 24/7 either… it’s fine for you to claim it, but when it’s my side it’s not? Fuck off.

          That’s why you’re being disingenuous. The one you are saying is used all day, while in fact it’s used intermittently for like 30 minutes. While an active properly managed construction site will be constant noise from start to finish.

          Leaf blowers are a continuous solid line of noise.

          So what’s your point then? Or are you done moving goal posts and being disingenuous now…?
