Concrete fails

Everyone wants to “wet it up” how bout you order a flowable mix from the start.

how about you find a new job if youre juat gonna bitch

When your truck gets rejected you’ll be the one bitching. Order a flowable mix if you need one. It’s so easy, but then again if you don’t know how to ask. Don’t keep going thru life trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Ignorance is bliss

[@jeffharper7579]

Years ago I did Foundation coating and they was pouring the floor and one new driver left the water on the hole way to job site, yeah a little to wet and had to dump it on the ground.

[@johnc6042]

That’s a lot of water! 😂 I had one where a finisher turned the add valve on trying to get the sprayer hose to go and didn’t turn it off. I was watching the mix get wetter and wetter on a slab until I stopped got out and like “oh shit!”…guy denied it of course and said I must have done it. Damn crackheads

[@johnc6042]

It was a mountain job so I only had like 8 yards on. 120 gallons of water! 😂

[@jeffharper7579]

Oops!! We layed block and bricks and one so called contractor poured his footers really wet he called it even flow concrete but in 20 feet we used 8" on the corner leads but in the middle my boss had me mix up and batch of mortor really stiff because we use 4" block and 2" slabs and around a 1" joint on the first course, we have never seen a footer with that much of a hump in it. We poured his footers after that.

[@prowannab]

Am I the only one that sees the 8" gap from the form board to the bottom? If they poured it at a 6-7 it would all run out!

You can put plastic though. These guys are terrible

[@mikeprimm4077]

Or both. Ida walked off before the first plug was cleared. No way am I raking that shit everywhere. Mixer drivers, there are some great ones, they know who they are. Then, you have the ones that cause cold joints because they're fat ass is sitting in the gas station eating, or slowing the flow of trucks down because they are gabbing. Or the ones that just don't know what in the blue fuck they are doing. Companies don't help this either, it's so hard to get warm bodies to fill the seat, that they almost help propagate the problem. No training, just "oh you have a CDL and haven't killed anyone in the last 5 months" bam! , Hired. Never seen wet concrete before? Got a CDL ? BAM ! HIRED! here's a70 thousand pound truck with a high rotating center of gravity, Show up to a jobsite where through the lack of training, you have no fucking clue where to go, what to do, then when you inevitably start getting screamed at by the finishers because now your no clue having ass is costing everyone money and time, remember to call your company and thank them for the lack of training. It's gotta be rough. Sitting in your air conditioned truck while we work our guts out. Being able to pass anything but a gas station deli. Keep whining mixer boy

I guess the dispatcher at the plant thought he was joking when he said "give me 30 gallons"

[@5610winston]

Rebar on the vapor barrier and wire mesh, not enough finishers, no place for the truck to discharge with enough pitch to the chute for the concrete to come down, they hadn't wet the chute down to cool it, concrete was flash setting, finishers didn't finish clearing the plug from the chute before multiple water additions. Did I miss anything?

[@michaelmaxim7207]

Your right on. 30 yrs doing that . Sad day for them

[@jcanada6828]

send the truck back and fire the driver

[@5610winston]

How the hell did they plan to get the concrete all the way to the far end of the slab? A pump or a conveyor would have been a much better way to go.

[@nlo114]

Sloppy mixer op didn't clean his chutes before pour started. 1:50 onward: Check-out the solid dried-on stuff when the camera looks up at the mix. No wonder it didn't flow.

[@HollowPo1ntz]

Concrete

[@ChavezConcrete]

Nothing is wrong with the concrete. The driver didn't clean his shoots from the last job (ever?) so it won't slide down. Compounding it, the slope, or lack there of. Its somewhat of a flat run and the fact that the chutes have dried concrete on it and you see whats happening. The concrete guys seem like they can't comprehend what the real problem is.

[@smokedpickles4471]

You have no idea. That concrete is set.

[@5610winston]

Condition of the chutes is less the issue than the near-horizontal pitch of the chute. Concrete can't flow down the chute if there is no down there. On top of all that, look how far the center of the slab is from the edge of the forms. They need a creteveyor or a pump, and at least a half-dozen more finishers, and a vibratory screed.

[@MrBat000]

no...there is not enough water in the cement mix... thats why its too thick and not flowing down.

[@ihightreasoni]

That stuff's probably been in the drum for 45 minutes to an hour and it's already starting to kick and he should have added like 20 to 30 gallons of water right off the bat that s*** should flow out the shoot on its own without you even having to touch it at least in the beginning

[@looseandsloppy2424]

That shit is about a 3 slump which isn't going to slide down all those chutes it needs to be about a six slump. I do this stuff every single day for a living. And it's probably got accelerator in it which dries it up twice as fast.

[@mauriciomorfin2221]

Send me some concrete, go easy on the water, go crazy on the gravel.

[@WeAreLegion1904]

These videos cheer me up. Everyone knows that alot can go wrong with concrete but it's always good to know there are people like this. The formwork here would just rise up into the air if you made it wetter and the large holes at the bottom are already far to big. Besides that I do not know what kind of concrete that is but you cannot simply wet up concrete like that. The truck doesn't have enough water to make it run and by the time you have a garden hose ready it's already reacting. Pumps are dirt cheap.

[@MrBat000]

no experience what so ever! The cement mix is wrong and there is not enough water! all they had to do is add water to the mix in the truck....that will soften the flow. The driver of the truck is standing like a statue and doesnt have a clue. thats a complete fail.

[@KylexSheppard]

What slump did they order the mud at? i've been on jobs with 10 yards where they order it at curb mud level and then they tell me they want a 6 inch slump and they got 1 percent in it. I'll add a gallon of super and add it onto their ticket whether they like it or not and throw 25 gallons in it.

Here's what wrong,after dumping the concrete in the chute the first time,they should have scraped the dry mud out of the chute. And the second time.The driver doesn't have the Hopper up and he seems either lazy or he's new. The laborer should have had a shovel also and for the size of the job,there should have been at least 2 more guys. These two don't seem too ambitious either.

[@eag1463]

No Mamés 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@kencraig7308]

Maybe the driver didnt know if it was footing load or a top load. If the load tag says 4" slump then you better make sure its a 5" or more before leaving the temper station. That way by the time you get to the jobsite it doesnt take much to get what they want. Never leave the plant with a wet load or you can be rejected.

[@stevengibson2251]

Still, he should have easily been able to get the load up to a 6 or more, if needed with the water in his tank. Looks to me like he forgot to pressurize his water tank, and when he thought he was adding water he was just high spinning it with no water going into the drum.

[@timnorman3575]

Looks like he didn't travel very far or his drum wasn't spinning in transit. It takes a minimum of 70 rotations to complete a mix.

[@pattyleabo426]

lol nice and easy residential here. Yeah the (pours) move a little bit faster down here in Texas ;)

[@ramblin_man23]

They probably needed it dry right there where the gap is under the board, then they would wet it up to pour the rest. The problem is that angle is too steep for dry mud. If the finishers don't pull out that dry mud first the driver should have.

[@Trenasist]

Better off sticking the hose in the bloody mixer not the pour. It's coming out DRY

[@elchapo9327]

Obviously his water valve is clogged and it’s not adding water

[@sawltydawgchris6116]

Is that driver trying to conserve water or are those finishers just plain stupid? Add water and give it 10. 5 inch slump is an acceptable slump requirement to finish a flat deck like this especially when you have the mixer chutes elevated like that and it will stack. That looked like a 3 inch and they are killing themselves while the mud is already setting off! I'm a veteran concrete worker and the key to this and all construction is work smarter, not harder and you get the job done. Not harder and waste time for a disaster!

[@OhioValleyPress]

Had to be his first week

[@roywilliams1416]

just add some water driver. 10 ain't gonna touch that manhole mud. they need about a 6, 6 1/2"

[@5610winston]

They have to work within the spec and the approved mix design. Look at the near-level pitch of the chute! Look how far the edge of the form is from the center of the slab! They needed a pump or a creteveyor to drop the concrete where they need it. A vibratory screed would take it from there. If they need a higher slump, they should have gotten approval for a mid-range or high-range water reducer.

[@stevenstine1120]

Many factors could contrbute to this fail. What you dont see is how long was the trk on the job? Could be a high psi load. It could have an accelerator admix added to the load. Driver error (not knowing his slump,getting lost going to the job). High ambient temperature.

[@walsh9354]

Steven Stine have you ever worked with concrete ? Psi has nothing to do with the f** barrel

[@sawltydawgchris6116]

That is a very likely factor being that it appears to be a deck poor where is it it's a high psi usually 3000 or greater and it's possible that it contains an admix like adva which a gallon can thin the mix down equivalent to 2 gallons but will also set that mud off like a firecracker in over an hour. Often a dispatch ticketing error for sending the driver out with that kind of mix design for a ride that is so long to time it out.

[@Teadon86]

Why did they order such thick concrete? Why not order concrete a bit more wet than that chunky gruel? Adding water is usually a bad idea, and more often than not the driver is not allowed to make such a decision without the plant's/mixer's permission, for if the driver makes the decision on his/her own then there's a good chance the driver will be responsible for any reimbursements. Basically, the fault lies with the buyer, possible the mixer too, who for some reason thought it splendid an idea to have some poor driver trying to solve an issue he did not himself cause. And another thing. When people are criticizing his drop I wonder if they've considered whether he can raise the truck or not or whether he is not allowed or physically capable to inch closer as to give him the possibility to increase the drop? Just figuring a bit here. I know a few people who have no way of raising their trucks to increase the drop for the concrete as to have it slide faster down the glide, yet people are treating this as the driver's fault when the thick concrete is not sliding down fast enough for their liking.
