I don't always watch concrete pumping videos ,but when I do,.. the Canadian concrete pumper is undoubtedly the most interesting and informative pumper on KZbin, keep pumping my friends 😉

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Thank you brother, I appreciate that. I’m truly amazed at how well the channel has been received. Lots of good stuff coming up over the next few months here.

I’ve been operating pumps for 8 years now I love it the same as the day I started and this is my favorite channel on all of KZbin ! ❤ we need more light hearted operators in this world like you guys. Keep on being safe and teaching the great ways brothers!!!

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

I appreciate the kind word my man! 23 years now for me and as much as things may totally suck during the what of the battle, not a day goes by that I don’t reflect on the accomplishments of the day during my drive home. This job definitely gets in the blood.

[@IndyJones243]

Wow 18 years old operating a 57m. I started at 19 on a 32-3 Pecco/Putz in 1986. Now after almost 15 machines later I'm retired and just enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@dylanwoods523]

I was 19 running a 63 meter better than it's everyday operator. I've found out it just comes down to whether you have that pump gene

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Yeah man, Hunter does an amazing job and gives me hope for the future of this industry.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

@@dylanwoods523I find the biggest difference between good pump operators and the button pusher crowd is that most good operators have that extra bit of care and pride which they put into their work. I’ve seen many struggle in this profession year after year only because they didn’t put just that little bit of extra effort into thinking/planning 1-2 steps ahead throughout the course of their day. Hunter definitely has the “pump gene”. His old man Morrie is one of, if not THE best pump operator in our area.

[@dylanwoods523]

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 alot of it can depend on your training. If your trainer doesn't have the "pump gene" and just pushes buttons it can be harder to reach your potential. Luckily I had the privilege of being trained by multiple people. One of which is by far the best pump operator I've seen in Tennessee. Being able to pick and choose the best parts of each operators routine can really give you an advantage. A long with adding your own twist.

[@DangleMan27]

At 20 I was thrown in a 38z. Trained for a few months and the rest is history. 23 now and have ran 38, 39, 47. I wouldn’t trade my job for any other blue collar work. Keeps you on your toes and I’m always learning. There is hope for the future we just have to get a few more young guys who have the work ethic along with some intelligence.

[@mattdupuis4838]

Learnt on a 52m Kcp in B.C now just moved up from a 47z to a 56z at home here in Ontario! I enjoy the videos coming from a line pump/shotcrete background. Pump on !!!

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

I’ve always said that shotcrete/line-pumping is some most invaluable experience we can acquire as pumpers. Definitely a steep learning curve with regards to slumps and “temperament” of concrete. Thank you for watching brother.

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

Love seeing the young generation doing hard work. It’s rare these days 😂

[@artchadsey5826]

It’s cool to slam the meters down, Each day is specific the the day itself. As the margins become thinner and thinner in this game, as a business owner, if I can invoice for 10 hours and pump 8 meters and burn a 1/4 tank of fuel, now I’m making money. Again , each job is specific! Keep up the killer content Scott. As Scott says, it’s easy, till it isn’t!!

[@scotta6382]

Yes a owner operator myself each day definitely different and yes would rather do fewer yards for more $ way easier on the machine.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

So true. Years ago there was a study (perhaps by ConForms, I cannot recall exactly) showing the exponential increase in pressure/wear to the boom pipeline as output volume is increased. At one point near the upper end of the scale it showed that an increase in pumping speed of just 10 cubic yards per hour effectively increased line pressure and wear by something like 30%. Really goes to show its all about finding that sweet spot. Then of course you get the guys that just want to hammer out every load as fast as possible just so they can go sit in the cab an wait for the next truck to arrive. If I can saver 20% on fuel and equipment wear " tear I've quite literally doubled my profit margins for the day.

[@sakocat]

so that rod on the priming port you hammer that in to stop the ball

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Yes sir. Both Putzmiester and Alliance sell them. I only really find it necessary to use when sucking back two sponges as the water loaded in front of the second sponge tends to flush the first sponge right through into the hopper (potentially chopping it).

What's money like over in Canada fir pump driver. ?

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Canada is a very large mass of land. Annual earning can range from 60-70 thousand in more rural areas, up to $200K in more densely populated urban areas. The regions with higher earnings potential also tend to have exponentially higher costs of living. $200K may sound like a lot, but in areas like Vancouver where the average detached home is sitting at 2 million + dollars, it’s still cigarettes and food stamps 😁😁😁

[@QualityConcreteInc]

Heck ya

[@ThePorkchop81]

Where is this at in the Vancouver area

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

This is at the Richmond Center shopping mall. They’ve dug up all of the street level parking at the east side of the mall and are replacing it with I believe 9 towers (14-ish stories each).

[@ThePorkchop81]

@Canadian Concrete Pumper wow. So much going in in metro Vancouver. Once I got near the end of the video I did see the sign on the mall, but I didn't get there until well after I asked the question

[@pumper2597]

Do you get the hose clean enough by sucking water through 3ish times or do you still to rinse it out? I’ve never thought of this method!!

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Hose is nice and squeaky clean doing it this way. With something like a bridge deck mix it may not necessarily be the case, but for the vast majority of materials which we pump, this works great.

[@braedonwagner2666]

How many hours are on the 47 meter?

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

This old girl (2005 model year) has 5500 pump hours and 21,000 engine hours .

[@shanewyber]

what is this going to be

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Underground parking with I believe 9 mid-rise (14-ish stories) towers which are built on top.

[@johnnytyrrell7060]

Anytime I'm pumping a deep slab like this I tell the hose guy to go away only need him when topping up and with nobody on the hose can pump faster because don't have to worry about hitting the guy with the hose

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Yeah, it’s a common frustration. Sometimes it can be beneficial if they’re aiming the flow of concrete between the rebar (bar is spaced tightly or mix is sticky/piling up), but for the most part I agree, just leave the damn hose alone boys! I swear it gets worse during the winter because the hose guy is just wanting to keep warm 😂

[@dannpriebe]

Big time. Having nobody on the hose actually makes it easy for me to fill. Stay away until top up.

[@gcpi1177]

Well done youngsters! Maybe there is hope. I wish I could say the same for ready mix drivers. Big pours always end up taking longer than they should due to lack of talent/bodies. Sign of the times, unfortunately. Oh well, at least we can watch good videos! Thanks again.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Keeping in mind that I’d better watch what I wish for, a mild recession could maybe smarten up todays workforce ever so slightly…. probably not, but just maybe 😂

Most definitely. These days the biggest challenge is ready mix supply. Truthfully, in our market there’s really not much advantage anything bigger than a 16 cell pump kit. With the logistical challenges we face being located within a dense, urban centre, we just end up waiting on concrete anyhow. That being said, the guys at Lafarge were on point this day 👌👌👌
