The Big Pour

Innocon Inc, A Toronto Readymix company poured a record breaking 4300 m3 of AGILIA self compacting concrete on 29th November 2008. A total of 120 trucks completed the pour in 14 hrs achieving a north american record for SCC

I do concrete all day, come home to relax and this is what youtube recomends...

[@johnnygreenshirt6215]

Me too.

[@earlglover6091]

Add mixtures allow the high slump but still high PSI. Very costly but a must.

[@marketablepresentations7824]

I was at a poor like this in Houston,Tx. Pouring Discovery Tower's basement. We worked from Saturday night till Sunday morning. Took good care of us. I drove for Cemex.

[@eddynick12]

@ charles lane these trucks haul 9 cubic metres wich is 11.8 cubic yards. There is no tag axle. They are called twin steers and the spread on the rears is 72" for an average total of 80,000lbs gvrw. We now have twin steers with an additional rear tag to carry 16 cubic yards with a total gvwr of 105,600lbs. Toronto On. area is one of the busiest markets for concrete right now with +150 condo towers being built.

[@alanbrown2666]

that's a serious mixer truck. I work for one of the largest aggregate companies in the world and we have 18 wheel mixers 11 yard drums, but then we have messed up bridge laws in the US so no matter how many axels you have you can still be in violation

[@ckuehncnwhsyt]

The actual Big Pour takes place down on the corner after the concrete is in place and the finishers are still hard at work.

[@themisneasmirni]

awesome concrete company!!! i love concrete and this video is very concrete pump oparetor and driver from greece

[@TheBrandonPerkins]

@imhorney3141974 lol ... Agilia has a slump of like 24"-30". You measure how far it spreads out basically. The Agilia flows out like water, but gets just as strong as concrete normally does. It has a lot of sand in it though, so if you are pumping it through a mobile concrete pump and stop, all the Sand drops to the bottom of the pipe and you get a sand plug. As long as the concrete is moving, it stays flowable.

[@mayurireddy8196]

[@localcrew]

I wonder if they considered just building a temporary mixing plant right there on site. Seems as if that might be one way to do it. Maybe not the best way though. Thanks for posting this very interesting video.

Really? Did you seal beforehand to make sure water would not run out before concrete had a chance to cure? I'm thinking of using Agilia.

Don't know about self compacting but it was sure self leveling!

[@phyohtetkoko929]

Noted thank you sir ✌👌👍

[@tom_nobreaks6450]

This stuff is actually really strong. I break cylinders of this stuff all the time well over 6000psi. Also it only looks like soup when its moving. Soon as this stuff is placed it almost immediately starts to dry up and look more like normal concrete.

[@ronaldwilkins6056]

High range water reducer/superplasticizer?

[@borizh]

i wouldnt call it junk. SCC has higher cracking potential because of the relatively higher paste content as compared to conventional concrete. higher paste means more shrinkage and so more prone to shrinkage cracking. and because of the high cement content, it is more prone to thermal cracking as well. but these issues can be mitigated - it's all about planning. what were the cooling methods at your project?

[@wilsonmejia3009]

Nice video bro

[@borizh]

must be nice not have to worry about formwork pressures!! great stuff. i wish i could get my hands on the planning for this project.

[@ericwsmith7722]

Those funnels along the side are a great idea, especially for a high slump like they were pouring. couple hundred bucks worth of plastic pipe a hour or so to put up, saves having to get a few more pumpers. Even a one time use they seem like they saved a lot of money.

[@ezrabrooks7785]

hi, basically its a very high strength slurry or grout mixture, any idea what the Mpa was used, just curious, a few years ago I delivered a load for an experiment to a pre stressed plant and it from memory was 70Mpa and 600 slump or flow as someone has described, it was to cut out the vibrating on the panels being made, it didn't go ahead so I guess it was either too expensive or what ever. Cheers

thats almost a 10 inch slump for us Americans thats wet. but then I can remember some highway jobs that called for 4 hour concrete dose on site with about 3 gallons of accelerator per yard and would turn a 3 inch slump into an 8 but you better get poured off fast. I think the mix had about 800 lbs ot powder per yard as well. did not like that job

This is not concrete, this is water.

[@chucklaneChuckylane]

In the U.S. Concrete is measured by the cubic yard, For flatwork, 1 yard will cover 81 sq. ft.@ 4" thick. (80 to keep it simple) The 4300 m3, is obviously metric. What is the conversion ? m3 means? Most of the mixers here haul 10 yds.legal. The mixers there are strange looking with the booster being the second steering axle. They look like they might haul around 12 yds.? The drivers ( 2 back axles) are spread pretty far apart. Also, Was this pour T-FF after it came above steel? No trowel?

[@donaldbartram6315]

Where did all these trucks wash out at???

[@donaldbartram6315]

That hasn't been legal since I was doing redi-mix 20 years ago. It sucks when your in a city scene & have to wash out.. Big jobs usually have a place to do it but when you're delivering to a little guy doing a sidewalk.. Sometimes we'd wash out in the back of his mason dump.

[@shay4578]

I'm jealous. My factory messes up recipes all the time and, on site, we can only add water (no super is supplied for emergencies) to a certain amount before hurting the strength of the mix (too much water and the test cube breaks at 30mp when the test is for 40mp). We get so much grief from the clients for this.
