I’m shocked they’re allowed to do more than 4ft lifts. I did commercial masonry for years before I shutdown and started pumping full time. We were never allowed to go above 4ft. Every 4’ we’d install a bond beam and pump it leaving a 1 inch keyhole for the next pour to lock into. On the industrial jobs we could never go above a bond beam no matter how many courses we laid. So if I had two courses then a bond beam we’d pour it same day and go home. Wouldn’t allow us to go any higher until next day. Was crazy how we had to do it. Also if we spilled concrete around the wall they’d rip us a new A-hole lol. 😂 they never understood that pumping concrete was a messy job. We line pumped with a wall hook using a telehandler to hold the hose most of the time. Also pouring in rain was a big no no for us. Awesome video Scott I learn new stuff every time I see one of your videos! Thank you for making these brother!
@@chriscalhoun.concretepumping Shoot, I’d swear they’ve been doing taller than 4” lifts as long as I’ve been doing this… that being said; for all I know this may have just been a 4’ lift on top of the previous pour. Next time I’ll dig a little deeper into the details with the guys on site. Definitely makes for a mess pouring in the rain, but with our climate here, we don’t have much of a choice (we’d otherwise never get anything done) 😂
@@canadianconcretepumper1979you could be right. I wish they would’ve let us go higher than 4 ft but the only time we could was on certain jobs where they didn’t have a testing crew and inspectors onsite. If civil engineers and inspectors were onsite we knew we were in for it lol. It’s probably just a freaking Alabama thing or something idk
@@chriscalhoun.concretepumping sounds like it may have been. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a tester in site for block-fill mix out west here. Just piss it up and let ‘R rip!!!!
@@chriscalhoun.concretepumping I’m wondering if it because the vast majority of masonry block wall in our area is not part of the buildings structure. 🤔🤔🤔
Great video as always, i am still wondering what's the reason for hooking the reducers straight to the boom elbow? I can only imagine the mess it makes when you clear a blockage from the reducer. I run 1 meter double ended 5 inch off the boom elbow with the original aircuff and then i can reduce it to any size i want. Makes it very short and neat and i can clear blockage with minimal mess having the aircuff higher than the reducer and also never have to mess with the aircuff beginning of after setup. I think i asked the same question last year but never got the answer. Cheers from Finland
@@keyonwilliams1633 I was really impressed with it for this application. We don’t see a lot of ICF out here in Western Canada, but I can see how it could work really well for that also. 👍👍👍
@@boogoo9439 I think you’d have to actually lay the reducer out flat for it to work, otherwise the hose would just kink right at the reducer. Ironically enough, the “lay flat” hose don’t work so good when it’s actually laid flat. 😂😂😂
@@keyonwilliams1633 I remember years ago seeing Putzmeister had something similar to what you describe. They called it the “Pin-Pour” and it attached to the discharge end of the hose. It was reminiscent of the applicator tip used when applying icing to a cake (closest analogy I could think of, sorry 😂). Never did actually get to see one working in the field though. I believe it was primarily a European market thing)

If you need to push it put a 2x4...2x6 as a backer works just fine
The end result was Caleb lost his sponge and as such is supposed to drain 100’ of 2” hose filled with shotcrete at a normal working slump, by hand. We are still waiting in the video of said punishment being fulfilled 😂😂😂
@@mikeklein318 So I haven’t yet seen the block itself crack and let loose, but I have seen a few times where they try to pour the same day in which the block wall was assembled and they pour it piss wet and the grout let’s go allowing the block-fill to drain out everywhere. It’s a gigantic mess, as one could imagine.
@@Dex01-Z_WingZero They worked well in the old style steel tanks, but the newer plastic tanks just dissipate heat too efficiently. They’re basically good for keeping the water in the tank from freezing, not a whole lot more.
@@canadianconcretepumper1979 i wouldn't trust it! If i don't fill my tank with the hotsy in the winter my lines a surely going to freeze. I'll leave the shop with hot water and come back cold. It's a joke
@@Dex01-Z_WingZero I think maybe it works for us out here because it doesn’t get real cold in the winter…. and the rare occasion that it does, everything pretty much just shits down anyways.

we use them in cayman islands to pour block pocket we call the moud snack its the best to pour icf walls and colums to

what does the lay flat pour like when you actually lay it flat on the ground or top of a wall?

these are made of kevlar right? we've got a shorter yellow one in the yard but i've never used it.
In Pennsylvania we call that a tremie hose
I use a regular size hose and conet the mud snack to it ware the clamp joun the head of its a little bit longer but it work well

I’ve always wanted to ask but kept forgetting do you guys pour with lighting in the sky?
Deff not suppose to.. atp you operating a big ass lighting rod
Any update or results on the sponge challenge or did I miss it somewhere

That was a messy grout job
@@dutchmanscp I’ve seen far worse.
@@dutchmanscp Pissing down rain that day probably made it look a little more messy than it in fact was.
