Courthouse Commons Mat Pour 5/22/2021

At 5AM on May 22, Cemex and Associated readymix trucks began delivering loads to the Courthouse Commons jobsite in downtown San Diego. The site is caddy-corner from the Central Courthouse between W. Boardway and W. C Street. Once on site, five truck mounted boom pumps moved the readymix 50 ft. below street level to the foundation. Pumps ranged in size from 46 meters to 61 meters and were lined up along Union and Front Streets. The deepest part of the foundation was 14.5 ft. deep at the elevator pits. Pumping at a peak of 600CY/hour, the pour lasted 11 hours with the last finisher going home around 8PM. In total 5,450 cubic yards were placed by a 30-man placing crew, 20 finishers, 10 pump operators and a support group of 40 individuals.

Seeing those pours reminds me of my construction days. Got to get those electrical pipes into the rebars and fastened down. :)
