Placing-boom pumping at a new high rise project:

Pumping into a Putzmeister 39Z/RS850 placing-boom setup with our Putzmiester 24Z truck mounted boom pump. Full pour video (include prime-out and blowdown procedures.

[@justinr.-nolette8706]

Blow it all out like a mobile pump then put sponge into placing boom then as the mobile unit is in reverse at medium to high volume and ad no more than what is required to move sponge then watch for the hoses that connect to placing to lift showing its empty. Once in the boom i bleed off residual air pressure and its all mobile side. No more than 15 psi ia required. No mess no nothing. Its GOLDEN! please give it a try youll love the process when its done. This is another great way but it leaves a situation for the site to deal with which isnt always ideal. Next time i get the opportunity to work a similar application ill also do a video and send it in. You'll love it . Great work guys!

I would like to hear you explain the reasons behind that failure of the shoring that happened recently in Vancouver

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

I’ve heard one particular theory, but without having first-hand knowledge and/or an engineering degree, I’m probably better off just keeping mum on the issue. It’s far, far above my pay-grade.

[@vegetablesouper9379]

I understand. Super complex situation and super public place to discuss any ideas about the causes. Glad no one was hurt, and hope something gets learned so its not repeated. Thanks again for sharing, I am binge watching :)@@canadianconcretepumper1979

I have a question… what tow behind concrete pump would be best for pumping 1” aggregate 20-150’. I pour concrete for my self now but would be interested in buying a pump for my work and to pump other contractors residential work.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

1” aggregate??? I don’t think any line pump is going to be particularly fantastic for pouring 1” rock. The pump will push it for sure, but it would make for a fairly miserable day, IMO.

[@blakepariso7318]

You think it’s more for .5” or less?

[@Mrbekay]

Another great one. It was tough to gauge with nothing to really reference against, how thick was that slab? Good work, Roger, out 👍

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

I believe 10-12 inch thickness (I should really know this stuff by now) 😂😂😂

[@gavinperry7237]

On the larger high rise projects is the “Placing Crew” employees of your company or an independent contractor?

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

For commercial projects we work mostly with an independent placing/finishing contractor whom we’ve had a very close working relationship with for well over a decade now. Most of our residential pours are done with our own in-house crew, if not our own guys, another residential crew whom we’ve worked very closely with for some years as well. We prefer to stick to working with the same groups of people mostly as it just makes things that much easier and usually results in a better finished product at the end of the day.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

I just fake it to make it. My brother is the mastermind behind all of these placing-boom setups 😁😁😁

[@gavinperry7237]

What is the reason behind sometimes using a square sponge rather than a round sponge ?

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

We use a square or larger 6” round ball (didn’t have the round ball on the pump this day) when blowing out from the back end as it is a 6” opening and the standard 5” round ball will not seal in the elbow. I prefer the 6” round ball, my brother likes the square sponges. We’ll have to get him on the next live stream and he and I can hash it out with the viewers 😂😂😂

[@lagresomadsl]

I start up the pump with the next truck at 4 on the dial on idle. Get it to 1850 rev/m and then Gradually drag the dial to the optimum speed. It usually ends at 10. I got it to 11 once. It was dark. Could not see the numbers😢 When the truck is empty, I drag the dial down to 4 and take off the rpm before stopping the pump.

How long would it take a new guy to learn the job you do?

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Fantastic question!!!! I’m actually going to add this one to the list for our next livestream chat. So, for someone with reasonable mechanical aptitude (a must in our trade) I would say: 1-2 years to be competent 3-5 years to be good 7-10 to be great Please keep in mind these is a huge generalization and there’s so much more to factor into answering this intelligently.

[@joshhaining1733]

Is that the site where the shotcrete shoring failed?

[@bowenike]

I dont think so. I think the video you are referring to was from Coquitlam in BC. I believe this is downtown Vancouver? Like an hour drive?

[@joshhaining1733]

Ah okay. All I heard was BC and the shoring looked similar. Thanks!

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

@@jamessomero3617 I want one SOOOOO bad, but there’s probably other equipment which we need to update first. Also, pump company rental have increased a little, pump manufacturer equipment prices have increased a lot (especially on the truck/chassis side of things). That, coupled with the higher interest rates and relative uncertainty in the economy makes it really difficult to take the plunge and drop $$$ on a new rig. It honestly would take a too good to be true deal from Putz (😁😁😁), or a large project which would use predominantly the 28Z to justify spending the $$$.
