Thanks for the early morning Brad to show us a HUGE concrete pour. Very cool to see how they do it. Amazing the technology that is out there these day to help facilitate these type of pours. Thanks again and look forward to more of these in the future.
u would be amazed how easy it really is for someone that knows what hes doing.. like cad/some plugins, local regulations.. u could probably draw up a building/construction plan for that whole building in about 30 minutes.. (maye a couple of hours adding fire safety/insulation/solar/extra doors/power stuff like that. But the main thing is just standard panels..
Brad hubby and I are happy you have a hard hat on this time lol when we watched that video hubby said I can’t believe brad isn’t wearing a hard hat!! Who says we don’t need men lol I seen a video recently of young girls being asked if women needed men. I told hubby yes women need men who would open lids for me ❤love your videos amazing what these builders do!!
I don’t know if your 2000 likes threshold gave you enough safety margin Brad - think you may have a chance of going for a swim 😂 Thanks for your Vlog - I am a building surveyor here in Melbourne Australia on large commercial projects. A building surveyor/certifier is similar to your council inspectors there in the states. Here in Australia certification was privatised back in 1990. I assess jobs against Australian and state building code, issue the building permits when the design is ready, then undertake the progressive and mandatory inspections during construction, and then finally at the end of the project once construction is finished and compliant issue and Occupancy Permit. Anyhow I’m enjoying learning about American construction practices 😊
I used to be a field technician and I would test concrete! A lot of nights where I would be on a job site at midnight! Loved the video brad! Brought back some memories
Hi Brad , A concrete slump test is a routine procedure carried out on a fresh concrete mix to determine its consistency before it is poured. Nothing to do with strength. Awesome video..
That guy holding that huge saw up as he cut the rebar from those boxes, as well as the guys puddling the concrete, made my back hurt just watching him! Oh, wait... my back hurts all the time, haha! Sure wish I had a good excuse like them for it though! Heather🇨🇦
We poured 75,000 Sq ft a day for a 1,000,000 Sq ft building for General Motors. The only difference is we had a on site batch plant. The local concrete company said that was the only way they could keep up. Traffic in Detroit would have caused to many delays resulting in cold joints, which were not allowed obviously.
This was cool to watch. I follow a channel called Victory Outdoor Services. Ryan is the owner and his concrete company does mainly residential concrete - driveways, decorative patios, garage floors, etc. etc. He'll add in the odd parking lot here and there. It's neat to see what is the same or similar to his methods. I'm no expert at all, but if I've paid attention I'm going to say that a truck can hold 8-10 cubic yards of concrete. So, for 530y of concrete for a building like this, I'm going to say he had 61 trucks. I expect to be off by a mile, but wanted to hazard a guess. I won't be coming back in to edit this so if I'm wrong, I'm wrong and that's ok. Nice seeing ya, Brad. Heather🇨🇦
Hey Brad, I appreciate the effort put into this video. Wanted to let you know, that there are several parts of this video that your voice peaks (sounds static-y) in this video and with the mic you're using (DJI yeah?) that shouldn't be happening. you may need to mess with setting a bit and do some test recordings to get the right mix of options, but it'll be worth the effort in the long run
@BradtheBuilder hahaha. Don't make me laugh so much! I have bronchitis and I keep laugh coughing. My bladder doesn't like it, lmao. Will I not watch tonight, no way, totally watching, totally worth it!
Outhouse for a cement truck. That's a new one 😁 You do not want to try swimming in that cesspool, or any cesspool. I'm just saying.... Thank you for the video it was interesting. Great job y'all.
We are about to do a 22,000 CY POUR. 800 trucks of concrete with 150 trucks running. 8 concrete plants. 1000 tons of rebar placed. 4 pump trucks with two trucks per pump feeding. Gonna be a long day.
There's no set number of trucks cause it all depends on the plant. Where I'm at in Michigan we have from dumpers and the trucks can hold 10 yards to not be over weight but most of the plants will squeeze 11 yards on each truck for pours like this or even if you have like a 10.5 yard pour they will throw 11 in the truck.
Love your videos. You should tell flair to put in a small solar system on the hatchery. It would help him save some money. And help him keep it clean and up and running right. Can’t wait to see your house done
I'm retired and that big poor gave me a flashback of hauling mud all night long until you got your 15 hours . Biggest pour we had was 2 jobs going on at the same time 7.588 cubic yards .hauling 15 loads myself crazy.
@@MikeGowan-xo9yv15 minutes from plant to job maybe you never been on a Lazar pour ? Pump will unload you in less than 5 minutes no wash down scrap and G0!!!!!
@@bryonhayes1797 ….oh I’m aware, my understanding was 9 min to discharge 9 yards. I’m sure these trucks are bigger barrels than 9 yards too. I know sometimes they build a plant near the job…
@@BradtheBuilder I can definitely see what I can do to get you setup with a tour of the site. It’s a very high security project but I’m sure I can make something happen if you are in town! I have been inspecting all structural work since day 1 for the city so I have some connections.
@@justn519 great! Let me know if this is something you could give me access to, and I will make it out there early to mid November! Email me at bradthebuilderYT@gmail.com
have roast beef cooking overnight in the slow cooker just thinking of all the things i might now have to weld together to justify the service time line of that wire i ran to the shed for the welder... they make 1/4 inch welding electrodes that are supposed to be able to run on the unit i have... but im thinking the welder plug is going to turn into a power feed to run a water steamer for the sauna build onto the side of the water pump shed... in and out on a 40 below zero day? who!
The thing that cracks me up when you guys act like that a massive Job Site. They are Using Two Laser Screeder’s then Power Trowels. My Buddy who still is a Concrete Guy, him and One other Fella would Do 100 to 200 Yards by themselves doing AutoZone New Builds all over Ohio, Indiana, and Tennessee, I did all the Dirt Work for the same General Contractor. We worked at the same time because I was doing all the Grade Work. I could not tell you just how many times the First Concrete Truck arrives then he starts freaking out because there is only Two Guys, I just tell them Relax Brother you take care of Your Job and I will Promise you they will. I have actually bet Money on these Guys who both a very good Friends of mine. The People Can Not Believe these guy can do it until I take their money. Loll
8 yards per truck = 66.25 9 yards per truck = 58.8 10 yards per truck = 53 11 yards per truck = 48.1 12 yard per truck = 44.1 depend on state law and truck size but the avg is 8 yards per truck the truck weights 25,000 lbs by it self with 8 yards it weight roughly 40,000lbs
Not sure the size of the trucks, but I believe they hold 10 yards a piece. So I’m going to say 53 trucks. I work concrete for a summer while in college, and the biggest pour we did was 71 trucks in one day. It was a warehouse where wood trusses were stored. Hard labor but very rewarding.
