Eric you have really got a lot of use out of that pump.

I do very much of that sort of pumpjobs with my linepump. It´s the best pumpjob, because of low dieselconsumption and low worn of the pump - but much hoselength and pumphours to charge the costumer.

Now that looks instersting.  What is that stuff they used for forms?  Looks like this could be a new branch of our company.

That is NUDURA brand ICF (Insulated Concrete Form - do a Google search)  It's one of the best out there and it is a premium price.  But don't just buy on price alone.  Dealers have 'protected' areas.  Another good one I pumped into is 'Superforms', filed them to the top and went around - one pass!!  Couldn't beleive it.  Usually you'll be wanting to go around 3 or 4 times in 9'.

If you'll be using a line pump to fill ICF walls, I'd recommend pouring the slab first, then you can use a wheeled scaffold, but to each their own.

Väggar - Thermomur 350

When i do those pumpjobs, i allways use 1,5"-hose and 0 - 1/4 inch fragment in the concrete. We in Sweden have use this buildingsystem for about 25 year and i have pumped concrete to about 14 - 17 diffrent brands. Most of them is not Swedish. The most fragile brand is: "Palikka" and it´s made in Finland. The best foreign brand is: "Bevi" and it´s made in Norway. It´s very good - best on the market, but too expencive. Manufactures from Poland made just crap, but cheap crap - theyr brands are close to fragile as the Finish "Palikka". 

 The picture shows the most useing brand, in Stockholmarea, because the manufacture is located 10 miles outside Stockholm. I think this is the best Swedish brand: "Dorocell" - it will never get broken when filling it and it realy looks like the same as that in the video.
