Man, There are alot of pictures on here of very wet concrete.How do you guys get a way with it? If we  poured a floor that wet I would down the road.

Ruck thats some wet mud I hope its not a floor.

about 12-13 years ago when I was driving, we had a coustomer who would order a 5" and all the drivers knew to take his mud really wet. if you showed up with a true 5", he would say 'damn! why you bring me that dry ass mud? drop 75 gallons on it and we'll take a look at it' the dude never pumped any of his jobs but as wet as he poured it, he didn't need to. and the funny thing is those houses were like 140-170 yards each.

I have actually had to tell contractors NO MORE WATER THATS IT!!!"

With SP when your time runs out it gets hard fast, not with water it makes it weak .

Yup!!! SP is your buddy for about 30 minutes +/-,Then you had better be doing some thing different

Then it must be a mid-range water reducer (like the RM plants use while batching) that they are adding on-site.

The SP and other additives we use in this country are mostly manufactured by SIKA or Rescon MAPEI, so check out their pages for info on the products.
Rescon MAPEI Dynamon-SX is what most people uses for SP these days. Really nice stuff.
And yeah, all out concrete is like butter whatever slump.

Hey, Dipstick, where are you in Norway?
Gotta love those poles, always holding the hose in the air, have seen 5-6 polish workers hold a 5 meter 3" hose on a small line job. :D

I bet that is B30 25% reduced 16 mm stone and 220 mm slump. In PSI that equates to 4500 psi.

Right now I'm driving mixers for Unicon a bit north of Bergen, in the Aalesund area.
Yep, we have a branch in Bergen and have been stationed there many times.
Bergen is a nice city but almost impossible to drive in, the roads change almost daily!

Dipstick, did one of them polish workers set up that 52 or try to? (Your profile pics). What happened there?

That used to be my pump. About a year after I left that compagnie this happend. According to the story.... there was an old basement under the outrigger where they didn't know about.... They replaced the d section but not the hydr. cil. Some months later thatone broke and the whole d section came crashing down. Now last month the same pump collapsed again!!! They used a lot of dunnage on an asfalt road but it went right through. (My poor old girl :-(

Man that really sucks, looks like a nice ole pump.
