That'll make it GRUUUUUNT!

Cool pics

I do quite a bit of shot crete but never out of the boom. 

Do you know the batch weights on the mix?

Ry

check your valve for build up,,,,     nice pics

get out the air hammer.

Brings back memories......not good ones either.  That crap can be such a bitch.

I dont know what the mix was but the first three trucks were so stiff the vibrat would not get the stuff through the grate.  Had to shovel a bunch.  Only a bit under the s-tub when I cleaned out.  Pluged once at the nozzle and blew the rubber end apart but that was the only problem.  These finishers were good and we got done in about 5 hours.    I always try to go off the boom, it makes the floor at the end a breeze, you just hang the nozzle and they shoot it straight down.  It makes an easy end to the day for the nozzle man and he comes out with a smile on his face.

just finished two weeks of booming shotcrete .with reducers and nozel atached to tip sec 90 ,no problems.boomed 450 cyds.now back to no work.

How does that last pic apply to the double ended hose rule? Partial plug and that guy is gonna be looking for his head.

nice work, i do shotcrete alot w/ a trailere pump, ive only seen it done once w/ a boom and i was driving by and couldnt stop to check it out, i would prsume it would be the same as when i run the trailer all plugs would most likley be in the reducers, at any rate looks rather interesting.

Man I'm surprised no one has said a word about it yet! The last pic. Last time I checked a shotcrete nozzle was metal and attached to a metal end on a double ended hose on top of the fact it has air pressure already pushing back towards the hoseman. Sorry dude, Never seen it done out of a boom. Guess it would be just fine if you kept the line on the ground.
