When concrete goes FULL NUCLEAR!!!

Multiple moves/setups while pumping hot water + accelerator concrete for the first time of the season.

[@markrobinson6883]

Always a good time with the Canadian concrete pumper. Quite possibly the most interesting concrete pump truck operator in the world 🌎 pump on my friends 😂

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Thanks Mark! Looks like we’ll be doing another livestream this Saturday evening (5:30PM Pacific Coastal Time). Hopefully you can make it!

[@markrobinson6883]

@canadianconcretepumper1979 sounds great Scott 👍 I'll be tuning in for sure real✅️

[@chrisdillard5359]

passing this on from guys that taught me. whenever you don't have enough to recirculate and its taking off like that. pump down and suck a ball back. take your sponge out and put some water in your prime port and reverse it. that way everything in your cylinders is getting wet and the boom is clean. you can sit there a little longer knowing that your boom is clean. had to do this a couple of times and I would definitely recommend. especially when you cant recirculate on those really tight jobs.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

That is a great technique, and on that I often use when recirculating is not an option. The only negative; in my opinion, is that the mud sitting in the hopper and S-tube can have a tendency to cake up and make for a shittier washout at days end. Definitely does have its advantages as well though. Such a situational trade which we work in. Great comment 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@chrisdillard5359]

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 with some delay set like you have, it would make the world of difference. in my case, we aren't even allowed sugar on our pumps. so you have to stay on top of your mud. luckily we don't normal wait more than a hour for mud and we don't have hot mixes so we can get away with it if we pay attention ha. no sitting in the cab and hope it will move lol

[@chrisdillard5359]

man, I have learned so much from your videos since you have been showing them. I look forward to them every week!

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Appetite that my man. I have fun making these. For years I’ve recorded most of my jobs, the only difference that now I’m narrating them as well 😁

[@MuddyfeetTV]

Unfortunately this probably happens once a week during the summertime here. It takes forever to get our tag from some companies. The video where I’m putting the trailer pump back together Bills in the background chiseling the hopper of our 38m. Great advice in this one.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

With how wild peeps get with the hot water and accelerator additives around here in the winter time, we almost deal with this more now through March than we do in the summertime. This was definitely one of the more “wild” loads of concrete I’ve seen in awhile 😂

[@CTRconcretepumping]

Same in California, pretty interesting how we all have a different name for the last load of concrete. Always fun watching other pumpers doing their work, can always learn something new to try

[@garlenseong38]

That is definitely a multi million dollar mansion....

My kids were telling me story's about pump trucks thank for sharing.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Love this! (I used to draw picture of pump trucks when I was a kid) 😁😁😁 Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@chriscalhoun.concretepumping]

Good stuff brother! Think I’ll stick to the ole line pumping for now! I said to myself I said self he’s about to lose this mud! Then out came the Sweet “N” Low! lol! I know guys that just dump a couple Mountain Dew drinks in their hopper. Wild stuff man. These folks around here wouldn’t let me near a job if they seen a bag of sugar on my truck but I would have washed out and re-primed. They’d just have to pay a bit extra because I ain’t letting that junk setup in my pump. Kudos to you though! Great video .

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Appreciate that brother. Sometimes when the concrete gets to a certain point, that’s just the way it’s gotta be 🙏🙏🙏

[@victariondrownedmemory9886]

im off for the next few months so ill be living vicariously through these videos haha, what a pour eh? this would have been a nightmare for me and the REED line pump i rock, those walls on that job were gorgeous eh, your channel rocks my guy keep killing it. your obviously an OG when it comes to pumping

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Couple years ago I spent an entire Christmas vacation binge-watching Muddy Feet Concrete Pumping. His channel is what inspired me to start my own. Definitely want to ‘em out as well:

[@victariondrownedmemory9886]

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 yeah checked out some of his videos today, guys a champ and never plugs, keep on killing it my guy

[@mikeeemike988]

Man you used about every trick in the book on this one. Super impressive 2 min drill set up. Also glad to hear that you know proper construction language … every Bad 4 letter word. 😂😂 Pump On brotha!

[@falcone2307]

Got anxiety watching this lol. I hate days like that with little shit everywhere, hot concrete and pump moves

[@MaxCrete]

i had a 800kg of powder per meter mix that took off from sucking the ball back to closing all outrigers and hopper was sealed instantly.....long day.. floor for a transfer station

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Yikes!!! It’s crazy how critical of an element the mix design has in whether we have a gravy, or absolutely dog-poop of a day!

[@jasonhansen6632]

WOW, down here in Texas, no pumper would allow that hot shit to be dumped in their pump.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

We a do a good amount of slow-paced residential pours up here, so we’re fairly accustomed to it…. Unfortunately 😂

[@vegetablesouper9379]

17:29 sounds of the ocean

[@crazyfreadsfun1745]

Ball came back at 17:28 but I always do 1 or 2 stokes more just to be sure

[@tobybaldwin8102]

Boom partys are becoming more common in Australia as it gets hot i know of 3 so far a 47 my boss was pouring 10 cubes a 32 from the other company in town an i had a shit job on a linepump we couldn't blowout had to empty the pipes an hoses by hand

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

I’ve been fortune to never have had one, but I’ve been damn close several times over the years! Pumpers worst day, or one of them at least.

[@sspyder181]

The white stuff came out!

[@kat2641]

😂 well let’s see here if the mud goes nuclear? Well that would be a bad thing .. I would need a lead suit and HasMat crew😂😂😂 sorry I couldn’t help myself at 2:30 in the morning ❤l 😂😂

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

And most importantly, don’t forget the Geiger counter!!!!! 😂

[@richiegulben9186]

Hello sir,I need sponsor I have a good experience concrete pump operator you can help sir tnx God bless.

[@andrewherbert5043]

Great video. Do you lift the boom out of the cradle during washout out of necessity or convieniance?

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

On this pump I usually just strap the lid open to the boom and leave the boom in the cradle, which gives me about 80% access to inside of the hopper. When it’s going to be a semi-crappy washout like this one, I’ll lift the boom out of the cradle so that I can get the lid opened up all the way and have easier access to bar out the hopper.

[@andrewherbert5043]

Gotcha. My 36z has to come out of the cradle to flip the grate. We have a 38 rz that you can flip the grate with the boom in the cradle but requires some contorting on the operators part to access everything with the boom cradled. 👍

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

That’s another thing which I love about this 38-5 Putz, when washing out, the boom does not need to come out of the cradle. With our 36/40 the boom would overhang the hopper and thus had to be lifted every time to washout., same as your 36 it sounds like.

40:37 for the second sponge 🧽 ❤

[@kat2641]

I would be extremely nervous to pore mud that “ nuclear meltdown stuff” I don’t mind laying down a hot batch as long as There is no structural bearing walls. I am noted for turning back loads of hot mud for weight bearing walls… on the floor, sidewalk patio? Take a chance…. That Whoops’ee would have really sucked had you not had another pore down the road and you would’ve had the pump completely cleaned out and washed up. Laughing, somebody dropped the ball on that other side of the house they forgot … But I do have a question . Is that hopper solid enough to put a pair of rollers on the bottom? My dove tail trailers. I have installed long rollers at the back under them so if I do bottom them out instead of dragging it, basically rolls…. but I’m not sure if that hopper would take the weight of the pump truck. But is an idea suggestion.. I have three dovetail trailers that pull in and out some nasty job sites and steel rollers have saved countless hours of Jack and blocking and tow truck calls

[@bpmunroe]

How do you know when the sponge is back home?

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

You’ll hear a distinct echo at the elbow each time the pump strokes over when the sponge is all the way back.

[@_hotrod_]

18:00 flat for first sponge

[@newrealm9187]

Why waist your sugar, you had water there?! Why didn’t you just water wash whilst waiting on your tail?!

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Thought crossed my mind, but wasn’t in the mood to attempt my first “suicide-prime” on the re-prime. With the pump setup on the roadway, simply dumping the water-washed hopper in place wouldn’t have been an option. I can get over the $1.25 worth of sugar expended during this operation 😂

Dude, i'd be so p***** off going into a job site like that, me and my dad have a friend that has a contract in businesses does houses like that, and he tells all the guys that he hires you f****** clean up after you're done for the day you would've been able to. Get in and put your legs out and I have to worry about it. That's one messy job site.
