@@repaircollc Glad you enjoyed it. Dann always does a really good job of teaching/explaining this stuff. We’ll have to do a similar video except with the Alliance setup, in the not so distant future. 👊👊👊

That’s awesome Jon!!! Yes, this RS850 setup is far more user-friendly/efficient (for several reasons) than anything else in the market which we’ve seen/used.

@@elbatobeach Dann gets all the credit on this one. His knowledge of placing-boom setups far exceeds mine.

There’s definitely a fair bit to it, but once you’ve done it a few times on your own it’s quite simple. Agreed Dan???

@bowenike @canadianconcretpymper1979 It's very easy once you get used to it. Definitely one of the least labor intensive systems I've worked with.

Congratz

Never ceases to amaze me how many others seemingly share in the same degree of pump-nerdery as myself. Thanks for watching brother 🙏

@@MuDemon2023 Whenever Dann and I get together, the videos tend to run a little looooooooong….. 😂😂😂

That's awesome!!! I was worried that it could possibly be technical/dry. Excellent feedback to hear 🙂

Pricing this stuff is definitely a homework project, and if you don’t get it right it can quickly become a losing proposition. Years ago we switched to a model in which the customer purchases the pipeline as we had found many contractors wanting to roll the dice in terms using high-early mixes with substantial dowse of accelerator. It’s a bad day when you lose $30K-$40K worth of system.

He did a good job showing the system

Running the remote is in my opinion, the less fulfilling of the two roles. I would say for the most part it’s the more experienced guy who status down at the pump as that’s where the majority of the “magic” happens. They apparently had been using the 2”X10” method but it had seemingly fallen by the wayside on the past few floors (pee-pee smack). The electrical lines need to be lengthened as the mast climbs up with the height of the building. The hydraulic lines are predetermined length as the climbing equipment stays remains attached with the few segments of mast structure. The thrust blocks I believe are poured using high-early concrete (eg: 20mpa strength in 24 hours). I’m betting a small ports lower could be used to shift that mast over if need be (yes, that got LOUD!!!!). Dann can chime in if I stand to be corrected with any of my answers, he as well as Tony are much more the placing -boom gurus than I myself am.

There was a little more running around then normal because were we trying to cover all the different aspects of using the system. Usually both guys work as a team except for when the lifting has started at which point the (bottom) guy runs down and pushes the wedges in and covers the hole. Hydraulic hoses and power cord come with the system, you only need to purchase additional cord if your tower is going higher then the supplied power cord. Our guys were putting 2x10's in but with the rotation on carpenters it's been forgotten a few times. We don't have an in house welder so I order them from a local company. The pipe we use is the Conforms quarter inch wall heat treated pipe in our towers, it lasts well in our market, We usually try to let the thrust blocks sit a few days before being used but you would probably want them to be around 20mpa so they don't shake apart. We don't like to hit the wedges but sometimes it's easier then lugging another piece of equipment around, a power pack would probably work great.

If I had prizes to award, you sir would be awarded one. Dedicated pumper right there 👌👌👌

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 Ya, where are the prizes?🤣

@@dannpriebe Very early stages of R&D 😁😁😁

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 yeah he needs to get to at least 100,000 subscribers before giving out free prizes lol

@@youtubeconnollyfamily I took @dannpriebe for a real fancy lunch yesterday ($5 for two slices of pizza and a can of pop)…. That’s kinda like a prize 😂😂😂

Hello friend. Thank you for watching!

I like you for your work . I work in such a job as ham, I am interested in it.

I’ve got a video coming this Saturday in which cover the whole process. I may or may not have setup a GoPro inside of the blowout bin 😁😁😁

We have our own Canadian certification which becomes law in our province be January 1 of 2023. Industry (in our area at least) has need this for some time. Shut was pretty wild around here, to say the least.

Yes, precisely. The challenge I could see would be longevity of said seals, also, their would inevitably be a step up/step down on the inside diameter of the pipe which could introduce pumpability issues. We actually have a set of telescoping boom pipes at our yard for emergencies (blown boom pipe). They get the job done, but most definitely could use some refinement.

A lot of experience, I guess is how you would bid a job like that lol. I can’t even imagine the insurance costs.

Even with the hooks in place to stop it?
