A Machine That Builds Brick Roads - Neatorama

(Video Link)

This video allegedly shows a machine that can lay 400 yards of brick road a day. But I can't find any information about it beyond Internet buzz. What do you think -- is it real?

Here's a link to the company's web page that shows more photographs of their Tiger Stone machine laying a different pattern of bricks:

It has to be real if it's on the internet.

This machine is built by the Dutch engineering company Vanku.

Must be real - nothing fake would have that bad of music.

That? Real? Are you out of your mind? How can that be real if that whole country is one big photoshop while in fact it's all only Hans Brinkers, windmills, marshlands and just one big shallow sea of red lights and legalised drug-use?

Main goal appears to offer the workers a more ergonomic position.

Why wouldn't this be real? oO
All the work is done by the three guys, feeding the machine with bricks in the correct order...

The dutch do lay a lot of brick roads, as they cope well with all the subsidence and shifting you get, when you're building on reclaimed land that's principally sand.

No surprise to me that they have such a machine... :)
