POURING 27,000 SQFT of CONCRETE in ONE DAY!

The engineering behind that build is amazing…. Looks like a fun job!!!!

[@larsvegas1505]

u would be amazed how easy it really is for someone that knows what hes doing.. like cad/some plugins, local regulations.. u could probably draw up a building/construction plan for that whole building in about 30 minutes.. (maye a couple of hours adding fire safety/insulation/solar/extra doors/power stuff like that. But the main thing is just standard panels..

Hey Brad, I appreciate the effort put into this video.

[@peterwinter6555]

I don’t know if your 2000 likes threshold gave you enough safety margin Brad - think you may have a chance of going for a swim 😂 Thanks for your Vlog - I am a building surveyor here in Melbourne Australia on large commercial projects. A building surveyor/certifier is similar to your council inspectors there in the states. Here in Australia certification was privatised back in 1990. I assess jobs against Australian and state building code, issue the building permits when the design is ready, then undertake the progressive and mandatory inspections during construction, and then finally at the end of the project once construction is finished and compliant issue and Occupancy Permit. Anyhow I’m enjoying learning about American construction practices 😊

There's no set number of trucks cause it all depends on the plant. Where I'm at in Michigan we have from dumpers and the trucks can hold 10 yards to not be over weight but most of the plants will squeeze 11 yards on each truck for pours like this or even if you have like a 10.5 yard pour they will throw 11 in the truck.

We poured 75,000 Sq ft a day for a 1,000,000 Sq ft building for General Motors. The only difference is we had a on site batch plant. The local concrete company said that was the only way they could keep up. Traffic in Detroit would have caused to many delays resulting in cold joints, which were not allowed obviously.

[@markprater4016]

We also started way earlier, like at 11pm.

[@BradtheBuilder]

You’re correct only around the perimeter at the second slab is the rebar… They poured it over crushed rock

[@heatherd.9390]

This was cool to watch. I follow a channel called Victory Outdoor Services. Ryan is the owner and his concrete company does mainly residential concrete - driveways, decorative patios, garage floors, etc. etc. He'll add in the odd parking lot here and there. It's neat to see what is the same or similar to his methods. I'm no expert at all, but if I've paid attention I'm going to say that a truck can hold 8-10 cubic yards of concrete. So, for 530y of concrete for a building like this, I'm going to say he had 61 trucks. I expect to be off by a mile, but wanted to hazard a guess. I won't be coming back in to edit this so if I'm wrong, I'm wrong and that's ok. Nice seeing ya, Brad. Heather🇨🇦

[@BradtheBuilder]

That was a very good guess… The trucks whole 10 yards and there were 53 trucks
