Pouring Burial Vaults

Piedmont Precast in Atlanta, Georgia pours Wilbert burial vaults in their massive production facility/warehouse. Skip to 1:15 in the video if you just want to see the pouring.

These concrete vaults 'are to die for'.

[@jasonvargas798]

Are they making Monticello vaults?

[@Moosetta]

Are they breathing a bunch of truck exhaust?

[@thomasmint1761]

Is this a concern of yours’?

[@Moosetta]

@@thomasmint1761 Well yeah. Are there are measures to protect them?

[@geraldblackburn4883]

Concrete is a good material, but if you want protection for your loved one, use steel, stainless in particular, they are expensive and 10 gauge galvanized is a good alternative.

How much Cement does it take to make 1 Buriel Vault ?

[@michaelm5601]

I am surprised there is no wire mesh or reinforcements or vibrators used in this process.

The only thing I don't miss from my vault man days was going home smelling like form oil.

Say what you want, burial vaults provide gainful employment.

Do you have wire or rebar in the vaults before pouring the concrete?

[@PeacockMarketing]

Burial vaults are poured using a mold without any wire or rebar. Once buried, the strength of the concrete supports the weight of the earth and equipment moving above. The NCBVA requires a compressive strength of a minimum of 5,000 psi at twenty-eight days of age.

Dozens of people come to watch the process every Saturday. Tickets are hard to come by.

[@rogerhanner8234]

what is your mix of rock, sand and water? Slump? the concrete looks real wet.

[@ThomNorris]

As a retired funeral director I can say nothing is better than a Clark metal grave vault. They are fail proof... each one submerged tested in 6 ft of water. The Clark 10 gauge Custodian galvanized steel is what I have used for my family.
