And over the side???

HEY, WHERE ARE HIS OUTRIGGERS?  OH YEAH THEY ONLY NEED OUTRIGGERS IN OCEAN-GOING CANOES (LOL).  WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM ROTATE THE BOOM TO 'PORT' THOUGH JUST TO SEE HOW SCARY IT WOULD BE FOR THE CREW.

 Just dont swing when you're in water that's deeper than the boom is long! "Depth Check!"

For me that pic is awesom. Thinking about what people can do. Problemsolving is a very important thing in concretepumping. But otherwise couldnt they just take a z-pump? :)

i hope the line hand brought dry clothes to change into cause looks like he be getin wet. And his snorkel

LOL bear i would love to see the linehands face when you get to the job!! I think i would piss my pants laughing!

Seriously though i would love to c the crucifix they made up to support the boom and the amount or reinforcing they would have had to do to the hull

I dont think it would be no problems to swing the boom to port or starboard...

We use a little ferry and stand with our pumps and pumpmixers and it tilt a little bit when You swing out the boom...That ship is much bigger so there should not be some problems to do that...

i just wonder how much of an effect the salt water would have on the boom over time. you couldnt possibly get all the water or salt out of every pin or stage. id hate to be writing up the cert for it. or being unlucky enough to buy it when they try to sell it

It's most likely fresh water. One of their rivers or canals.

i wonder if he will water was when done?

I know in the mid 70's I ran a 120 ton barge crane (about 4 months) on the Siagon River.The barge had water transfer pumps to different compartments for ballest.As for salt water,the military always washed the amphib aircraft with fresh water after flight.

 I've seen a few pumps that spent some time at sea on barges and it's not pretty, and that's just from being on the salt water not in it!

 Hey many, I remember my first big maritime job, I was very impressed with the HUGE crane on the barge! Until the next day when an even bigger crane showed up and picked up the "huge" one!

TT,got that right.We really didn't see deep draft ships,well not many.You sould have seen some of the salt damage on them.That pic about April 68 after tet,got real good at dodging rockets after they got part of newport bridge.That was the crane I ran,the first floating one.

I saw some pic's of Kiewits 58m on the barge in the bay area,impressive.

Straight down! I would of used a few extra pipe on end. Salt water way bad LOL
