Highrise Concrete Pour in Seattle

[Engineer]

Incredible how strong concrete is. One moment it’s fluid and the other moment it holds a 100+ meter building up.

That shit look easy but is the hardest job ever trust me

Do people understand how god damn painful it gets to drag that screet board all day on a 10k sqft pour. It f'ing sucks. Im never doing concrete again. I have a lot of respect for anyone who does.

Thanks for posting this. Coming from New York City, watching many a high-rise go up, I have always wanted to see the action up on the working deck when the floor slab was being poured. Can't see this from the ground. This video was instructional as to how it's done. It's a labor-intensive process, with skilled workers screeding, floating and troweling. I'll bet those hard workers go home tired after a day of pouring. Terrific video!!

Anybody who knows this trade...and I do mean the real masons, not the wannabes, know with this kind of job site, You do what you can.Somedays are better then others, somedays you get more help then others.Its rough and it’s all heart that gets you through the day.NOT one person is the best!!!Its a team effort always, sometimes you don’t get the best product, but like a battle, you try, you learn, then if you have to, you lick your wounds and try again another day .!!!

I was a Superintendent, I have seen and walked on alot of Concrete. I can tell you this, This is a excellent flat work crew, I suspect they do it all. The pumper operator 👍 the rakers were Fantastic 👏 the guys on screeds have great eyes 👀 The rakers get serious props because I didn't see more than 3/4" of mud behind the screed. The finishers look top notch as well. Respect boys keep up the good work. Loose that Turner Hivis vest.

I guess I'm the only person that says the pump guy did a great job getting that hose through the window without tearing up the place. I've pumped mud for 14 years. Love seeing a gravy day at the office.

I poured concrete for almost 8 years. It's one of the toughest jobs out there.

I'm from Dublin Ireland and I have worked on Concrete Pump's for 20+year's from line pump's to a 63m Putzmister whould love to go over to the USA for a little bit just to see how different thing's are done. And to see if can learn anything new and maybe show you how we do things in IRELAND.

That's a tough job because your bent over and stooped a lot of the time.
That can be murderous day in and day out.

Never seen people stop to cover foot prints. Usually just kick it with your feet while doing it. Great work.

[paulcalver]

Great upload, watched this on my break, loved it!

We do it here in LA basically the same way. 15k sf deck a 24 col on avg a core on a 5 day cycle. Pour at 80 to 100cy per hour poured out in 4 hours. Drop columns and pour those too. We stopped taking the core up ahead for the most part. So we catch that too. Done!done!lets go 50+ stories all day long. Only difference is we work in the sun.
Good job!
