Pouring A 36'x46' Concrete Slab for Steel Building!

In this video - I take you along as we pour a 36x46' Concrete Slab for a steel building to go on. We will go back after a few days and saw cut lines through the concrete, instead of grooving them during finish.
This 35 yard pour started at 7:15AM and ended at 3:00PM - left with a machine finish and overall, a great finished product. For any questions, feel free to leave a comment down below and I'll get back to you ASAP.

MattBangsWood HELL YEAH! More giveaways would be great! Did you announce the Martinez square winner already?

[@uhenoalvarez3480]

stick to framing! leave pouring and finishing to the professionals. I won't tell you what you did wrong, but I have done this for over fifty yrs in both residential and commercial construction. I have to agree with Dylan Hinch nice time lapse

[@uhenoalvarez3480]

plus if a finisher showed up with a pool trowel in his bucket on a flat work job I would tell him to take them back to his truck and put them away and if he still wanted to work grab a shovel and be a mucker.

Appreciate Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you tried - Canackenzie Astounded Cure (probably on Google)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for building better sheds and master woodworking without the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my buddy finally got amazing results with it.

[@truckdriver7696]

Been finishing for 40yrs, beats the hell out of you but it's a honest living and the money is fantastic. Plus side jobs you can make a ton of money as well. Taught my grandsons the trade as well.

Love the time lapse for some reason every time I watch a time lapse video of construction I get super pumped up and inspired it gives me that second wind to go out and grind even harder than before. I like that your a Jack of all trades. I am the same. Keep up the good work matt

That's pretty awesome how you got the family out there together working. 3 generations. I'm jealous.... 🤙🤘 bang on.

[@randydueck889]

Nice job - back in the day, the company I worked for would pour every other strip (odd numbers) on the first day, wait a day or two, then pour the even numbered strips... the steel was continuous so the forms had to be notched for that. Less control joint cutting... seemed to work well.

[@trex283]

How do you run plumbing? I’m in new england every house has a basement.

[@anthonydinatale2030]

Rookies. Never put water on top of concrete and work it into the top. All you're doing is weakening the top of the pad. The wood rail system is ridiculous too...gonna walk through all your screeded floor and hit it with a jitter bug (nobody uses those anymore). Maybe try using a laser next time or of you have slope...set some pins!

[@mapioskoloni9784]

What is the cost of this particular job, the 36x46?

[@jodyrolandconstruction6577]

That concrete must be stiff as shit if you guys are waking in it right as it’s poured. How many psi is that?

[@Gravel1331]

Why are you pouring the footers and slab the same day? Just a question out of curiosity, because I've always seen it done where the footers are allowed to cure for several days then the slab is poured.

[@jonathangranger6727]

Then your edges tend to "cave" in per say.. you won't end up with a flat floor . We pour footings one day then slab few days later

[@irvingcobb4395]

Shalom Matt nice slab

[@prashantmohan22]

Got a question if anybody can help - Should the trucks not be coming within a 20 min interval? In the video, the trucks come in gaps of 45 mins, wont the concrete harden by then? how will the new concrete fuse with the already poured concrete?

[@MattBangsWood]

The trucks were later than hell, we were pissed. Trucks were supposed to be back to back..

[@blackbeard9436]

Interesting. You guys are doing one pour without footings.

[@nrolled2888]

Why tamp the whole pour and not just use a bull float? Not necessary in my experience unless you have to walk out in the mud.

[@nrolled2888]

rzl dzl I get it for when you remove the rails but he’s tamping the whole pad prior to pulling the rails.

[@MattBangsWood]

We talked about a VB, and it would have been nice to see.. BUT! The plans were bought online (it's like a gingerbread house but in steel building form), and that's what the H/O wanted us to stick with.. No VB, but we had over-engineered sonotube details, 3'+ deep. It's one of those things, we didn't go to school to draw it, so we let them do their thing.

[@TheDirtyBirchTrails]

Usually don't need any unless you are living in the building. If it's just storage or garage, not needed.

[@johnpiegzik298]

Plus it’s Southern California, I doubt it’s needed!

[@MattBangsWood]

It’s not needed - due to it being a garage.. if it was living space, it’d be needed. Some people swear by a VB, as it helps with the curing process.

[@quintendewit3220]

For a 16x16 slab 4 inches thick could i do it with 3 cementmixers or just get it delivered by a cement truck ?

[@MattBangsWood]

Personally - we pump and truck almost everything. It’s easier. With a mixer, you’re packing 100+ bags, and it’s a waste of time IMO.

[@josephmalinowski6817]

can anybody answer me this question what does it mean when people say that they got a hot load of concrete

[@MattBangsWood]

Concrete is a chemical reaction.. Say someone calls off a 10 yard pour. They’ll send it to the next crew, and you end up with a hot load. Basically, it’s setting up before it’s even poured. It’s harder to work with, and is set up in no time at all. That’s how our second or third truck was.. It took hour + to get there, so it’d been setting up while we waited around.
