Concrete Pumping Vlog #42. Somero S-485 Laser Screed!

[@pumper2597]

you mentioned you’re using a 4 1/2 on this floor. What hose do you use on floors less than 6 inches thickness.

[@fronabargerconveyingpumping]

Will usually run a 4", sometimes a 3.5". Just have to be really careful on the 3.5", cause it can plug in the neck of the hose easily.

How do you keep it from pushing the rebar down to the bottom?

[@fronabargerconveyingpumping]

Alot of times they will place concrete bricks or shoes down in front of the head. If it's just mesh. They pull it up while screeding.

[@BradSimmons]

you're pushing the rebar down driving over it -- and the stick guy is messing up the job, then they go over it, then again and again. I hate to be negative, but this machine is a waste of money. Get a real GPS screeder - or I would not hire anyone who has this machine. terrible engineering.

[@fronabargerconveyingpumping]

I can definitely understand what you are talking about. Not much use for rebar or wire when this particular machine is used.

[@ropo772]

That machine is a waste of money. Its embarassing to be associated with it when pouring concrete.

[@fronabargerconveyingpumping]

I actually think they work very well, but we're all entitled to our own opinions.
