In 25 years of pumping concrete, I’ve never seen anything even close to this!!! Lots to be learned from this one. Highly recommended to first watch part 1 video of this pour: • Pumping a 50 storey hi...
I appreciate that you’re enjoying the channel brother. It’s unfortunate due to privacy concerns that some of the wildest homes/properties we work at, I am unable to video. Boggles my mind how many folks there are in this world with absolutely obscene amounts of money…. And I LOVE when they choose to spend it on concrete!!! 😂😂😂
That is exactly why I love the 3 port valve. You can suck the ball back to the pump when you switch the valve. Great diagnosis of the problem btw... Keep teaching!!! If you weren't there someone could've gotten hurt!! 🤙
Like the saying goes, we learn something new every day lol. Just another reason why I love your channel. You could have edited that all out but you didn’t.
@@youtubeconnollyfamily Tuesday. Would you believe it, we pumped the last yard into the slab at 4:00PM, and I was still home in time for dinner. Whole ordeal only cost us about an hour (and that includes reassembling the pipeline).
Scott i would also agree with material pushed through when switching. No material in the elbow may be the tumbling of new material from today's pump eroding it awayin the bend be my guess
How in the holy hell did you pump 350 yards of concrete and not have any of that brake loose in the pipe. That may be some of the greatest luck ever to not have an issue with that. I couldn’t even imagine if a chunk of that broke loose and got caught in one of the elbows in the placing boom. That’s fun to work with when you’re 500 feet up.
It’s amazing how resilient buildup inside of the pipes can be. The number of times we’ve said “just pumped a few hundred yards through her to burn that junk out of the pipes”. That old stuff in the pipes was 65 mpa SCC mix. Would be interesting/super shitty to see if a large agg mix would have busted of it free.
So basically you pumped 300m of mud 500ft straight up thru a 10 ft. section of only 2 1/2 to 3 in. diameter....that Putzmeister is the winner here for sure.Thats Insane!!!
Despite the shit-show seen in this video, we’ve found that using at least one go-devil helps a lot in terms of getting the system clean. My buddy Dann uses several round sponges and his pipes are spotless. So many different ways, so long as the pipes are clean, it’s a win!
SK tubería excelente pero creo que es de 130 bar presión nominal explícame las especificaciones de la línea de distribución con abrazaderas de sujeción para evitar golpes de ariete vibraciones bruscas
That’s why we’re so adamant on blowing a soft sponge through the system on the first round. It will get past any old buildup and remove at least any new mud from the day of.
As well as why I swear by always pulling back at least one hard sponge through a boom. Then soft sponges will skiff right over a lot junk in the pipes.
Yes, we’ve seen that in the S-tube as well as the S-bend on the diversion valve before. High-presssure does some very interesting things at times indeed.
That could have been so much worse. Just imagine one of those chunks coming lose and plugging you guys up further along in the line! Does Canada have a lottery? 😂😂😂
So this contractor provides all their own gear and labour (aside from the pump down below and operators for both pump and placing-boom). That being said, we help them out with advising on the pipeline routing as well as jacking of the boom setup.
@@canadianconcretepumper1979 The mix quality is everything. Have pumped so bad concrete the pump was only pumping on one side, had to suck it into reverse and going forward with each new truck.. Its strange that you where able to get it all the way to the top without any plugs. Or getting any plugs during the job..
Totally a testimony to having good mud to pump, or the buildup would for sure have packed up the condensed area of available are for mud to travel. So.ething different all the time, well done again
You’re not the first to ask. As per the manufacturer: they are designed to be inserted as what would appear to be “backwards”. We used them incorrectly for about ten years prior to be advised otherwise.
you are missing a crucial component......you need a ball catcher at the end of blow out pipe....lts a liability concern....if that go devil flys it could be bad.
Also....Give credit where Credit Is Due.....that operator did his job well....no precast or anything else went in that hopper...if you would of plugged there it would be very bad ..knowing now that operator saved the day by paying attention day...👍
Yes sir. ConForms actually designs them to be inserted facing that direction (which based on most common logic, appears to be backward), but that’s what they specify).
All im sayings is,... the jeff guy with the texas mustache woulda one sponged that with no more that a air hose and fingertip psi gauge lol. In all seriousness, that coulda been a real real bad day. Good vid for sure.
From ConForms: “The nose of the go devil is flat and slightly beveled. It is designed to go over slight bumps like a slight difference in the ID of the pipe. The solid nose of go devil is for impact as it runs into the catcher so it helps in not damaging the go devil. If it is inserted backwards, the cone on the back can hang up on a slight bump causing it to catch on it and get stuck as the go devil can bend that way easier.”
