Hello folks.  I'm not an operator, but I was on a site today where the mud in the boom pump got too hard for him to push.  He folded up and left the job with the concrete still inside.  How can that be fixed?  Thanks

Look to the right of ur page .. Conform esser etc etc then go on line to ur bank acc and see if the 2 are compatible lol

Putz makes a high pressure sprayer that can cut concrete out of the pipe. It is always a bad day when something like that happens but it does not have to be a total loss.

In the Trade we call it a boom party.  All available hands and take elbows off and pressure washer all you can get.

I hope its not as hot there as here,it was a 115 heat index yesterday.

In the 90's here and the high humidity sucks. I think I pumped more concrete this week with the tip hose in the hopper recirculating than went into the pours.

hmmmm. boom party, i'd rather go to a gangfight...i'll probably feel better the next day

Alot of fenceposts ?

The first fix would have been to recirculate and keep an eye on it. Odds are this did not happen. If the mud was still pretty green, he could of put slick pak in the hopper and mix it and also dump some in the tip to work it both ways. It all depends on how hard the concrete was. But should not have gotten that far unless there was a breakdown. Was he taking a nap while waiting for the next truck????
