Pumping concrete into this building using the boom pump. Bringing system off of the truck is faster than using the trailer pump. Being they had 100 yards ordered we decided to use the pump off the boom truck to get the job done.
No fun you don't have any mud or narrow driveways to get mixers stuck in. As always nice job brother thanks for all the great videos. I've been watching them trying to recuperate from hip surgery. Who the knew 25yrs of finishing would be so hard on the knees back and hip. Lol but I liked what I did for a living beats the hell out of being in an office. Stay safe brother thanks again
The whole reason I started pumping was because I seen the older guys I worked with bodies failing on them. I love the industry. I still enjoy pouring and finishing concrete.
Rarely see one of those around town let alone at a pump. Then again I never noticed guys with their pants tucked in their boots until I started following you guys now i see it at every job.
Started seeing those trucks in Az in 07 08 never had one back up to my pump so I don't know much about them. The operator must have pretty good problem solving skills. Lots of moving parts. Impressive piece of equipment
Ive used a couple different companies here in Az and haven’t really been impressed. The guys in this video seem pretty good but the companies Ive used all seem to have issues with mix consistency. Im not a pumper at all, just a finisher, but it seems like especially when they pump it its very wet. Coming out of the chute is either very dry or very wet, no in between. Maybe just operator error but after messing with it on a couple of jobs now I always use a normal mixer truck if possible.
When we did the bypass bridge to get all the commercial traffic off the Hoover Dam. We had to use liquid nitrogen to cool the concrete to 35 degrees or cooler to be able to pump the concrete into the forms so it wouldn't setup in the hose while it was being pumped. By the time the concrete came out hose into the forms it was up to 85 degrees. They built concrete plant ¼ mile from where it was being pumped into the forms and then did the same exact thing for the other side of the bridge. It was pretty badass. Each side took right around 72 hours straight from beginning to end.
I have been on a bridge project in Dubuque Iowa where we used Ice to bring the mix temperature down so it would not generate too muck heat while it cured. I have heard liquid nitrogen can damage mixer drums from the temperature change when it goes in the drum.
@@joepfeiler5911 it was either liquid CO2 or liquid nitrogen. I can't remember exactly which one it was I got into a bad accident and it caused some head trauma. But the reason we did it was because how hot are temperatures were when we had to do the pour or we would have held up the project for 3 months if we waited. Are low temps were in the 90s and day time temps were up over 110 degree's
Do you guys have expansive soils? I guess the cardboard void forms just support the concrete until it sets and supports itself on whatever footings they have.
Have you ever had problems pumping manufactured sand through 2.5” line? It seems like unless it’s upwards of an 8” slump, it won’t pump. It’ll act like a plug but it’s not plugged. Something about man-sand, my pump doesn’t like it. It’ll pump anything with river sand or white sand on a 4. But if it has that BS manufactured sand it’ll seize up. Please help.
Salam, I am Hisham from Morocco. I worked in the field of concrete and in control of a ready-mixed concrete pump driver. 17 years experience. I would like to work with you. Thank you.
The one and only time I’ve been we flew in to Jackson and went out by Daniel. I’m pretty sure I have enough elk points I need. Probably try and spend them next season. Probably go back to Daniel area since I’m familiar with the area.
Don't talk about stuff being bearied in the concrete because next thing you know the police are getting a search warrant to dig up your property. Don't ask me why I know this.
I know you can because you did use the boom truck. Just trying to understand why the boom truck instead of a trailer pump? Seems like not the best solution, but maybe there is a reason for that vs the trailer pump.
We can unload a truck in half the time using the boom pump versus the trailer pump. Being they estimated it was going to take 100 yards we felt like the truck was a better option
This company actually has good mud. They seemed to know what they are doing. It usually takes 2 at a time to be able to keep up when we are using the boom.
