Yes, lots change rebar stainless steel.The cement pump change lots too we have some calgary just huge for hwy concrete.Bow tower downtown use huge pour with inland cement trucks line up non-stop.The pour bridge work change a lots too.Thanks video again.😊
The Bow Tower. That one may still hold the current record for largest volume of concrete in a single pour in Canada. That’s got to be going on 17-18 years ago now.

That's crazy how they let you spray the mud down as it flows down the chute. They definitely frown on that big time around here. Our bars are epoxy coated.
@@fronabargerconveyingpumping They usually do not Darin, but when it hits the chute at a 3” on the prime, yea gotta do what ya gotta do to get here through 😁
@@fronabargerconveyingpumping I’m wondering if they could be more stringent with regards to the application of epoxy and/or stainless reinforcement bar based on what type of anti-icing chemicals are used in a specific region during the winter months? 🤔🤔🤔
@@sicilian8115 know that you mention it, yes…. that’s very rare indeed. I haven’t pumped one of these in ages. A few years back when we were doing a lot of them, they were all skewed, as you mention.
@@chrisnelly2518 I’m thinking the engineering could be a little more stringent in our climate here due to the corrosive chemicals used on roadways for anti-icing during our cool winter months.
Every bridge in Kansas uses epoxy coated rebar as well. I did and job a while back at a nuclear power plant and they didn’t use epoxy coated rebar which I found interesting
@@Kansasconcreteplacement I’m thinking it could have something to do with the type of salt/chemicals used on the roads in our region during the cold months.
Is this just the top layer of the bridge deck. We pump them complete so there is upto meter thick in places. We pump truck loads after truck loads in the same place
@ came home yesterday from the last pour of a 4 bridge project we supplied concrete and pumps for. Just some finishing pours left that will be done without pumps. Those 4 bridges were 6000m3 in total one of them was 2000m3 poured in 2 sections. The project was 5 hour drive away but we have a batch plant there temporal but drove the pumps and trucks there for each big pour.
@ we have our regular jobs supplying here in the local are and we have a project going thats going to take 4-5 years supplying concrete for a salmon farm that's being built, pumping into octaform big tanks. Then there are other likely projects that we might get like hydro power plant close by and some windmills being built on another location. So we got alot of projects for the next year's I guess :)
Atleast in Alberta changing glands in the expansion joints in the spring -5-10 in the am and +10-15 in the afternoon would go from a 3” gap to less than 1” huge movement
Prime the pump with a sheet of plywood so u dont splash the the pump and then have to make a note not to drive though it at the end of the day like those big jobs.
@@canadianconcretepumper1979 It isnt mandatory, especially for smaller jobs or hard to access jobs. They like the uniformity, speed, and smoothness of the machine. Heck of a machine.
Do they adjust the camber of that machine by shimming it at the top of the frame? I.E. the slope towards the outside of the road so water sluffs off to the side. Awesome vids man!!

At 0:28 what is the purpose of it, what does it do, what is it use 4 & why is he shoveling dirt into the bucket to go into the hopper of the concrete boom pump truck???????🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 what would happen if you 🚫 use dirt for a concrete pump truck or concrete pump trailer???????
@@avontaprice2 So we dump a bucket of dirt at the back of the hopper underneath of the valve. Concrete normally will sit in this area and harden. The purpose of the dirt is displace any potential concrete buildup and make for an easier clean out at days end. Since concrete normally does not feed from the area, there is little danger of the dirt being sucked into the pumping cylinders. ruclips.net/video/RE7RYP0yEp4/видео.htmlsi=Rxaz8DcTSoe-qeMi
@@donniesamuel6277 It really depends. Typically we only see a couple 3-5 day stints of really cold weather during each winter season. As such, many contractors will just wait it out until temperatures warm up. Than being said, I have poured concrete in -10 degrees Celsius weather here, but that is extremely rare. We’re really just not equipped for it out here on the west coast. Usually anything much below freezing and the contractors will just delay.
28:00 During curing, the concrete will shrink a bit. Hence, I don't think that its a true expansion joint as you would typically see on a viaduct. I think that its main purpose is to accommodate shrinkage, which is why it isn't poured at the same time as the rest of the bridge. 29:00 You definitely should not be touching concrete. It is alkaline and can cause chemical burns.
@@dankificationis that one being handled in-house? Or do they sub-contract out the placing of the decks? These guys here do I believe a good majority of the decks around the province. I’m wondering I maybe they are doing the Patullo Bridge as well?

I've too been pumping all night. I just didn't use a 56 meter stick
You wouldn’t want to pump down and suck a sponge with a 63m that way. Take you 25min to get the boom folded back around and down from that position.
