4300 CY Concrete Pour in Philly with Silvi Group!
While it ain't easy to batch, haul, and pour nearly 4,300 CY of concrete, it's just another day at the office for Silvi.
We were lucky enough to document this massive foundation pour for the new Laurel Rittenhouse Square building. Soon to be one of the tallest buildings in downtown Philadelphia, it all starts with a solid block of concrete and steel to form the foundation.
The pour started at midnight on a Friday and finished in the afternoon on Saturday. Once the concrete arrived onsite in 10CY truckloads, concrete crews poured it using a combination of chutes and telebelts.
While Silvi Group was our primary contact for the project, there were also a ton of other companies involved in the project, including the owner, Southerland, the concrete company, Carson Concrete, and the general contractor, Hunter Roberts.

suggest you look up the build of Hinkley point C nuclear power station currently being built in the UK..... it makes your building foundation pour look like a small job .......

This is absolutely amazing, to be able to see what and how this all comes together it only took me 70 years to find out! Aaron all of your videos are so interesting and informative your work has more than paid off, well done.....
That’s a massive mat pour for a single day. Crews must’ve been exhausted after. Nice work
AWESOME JOB to all companies involved.
From Philly. Living in Ohio. Epic video. Godspeed
Awesome work! Love this kind of content!
Great video 👍👍
excellent video, with perfect editing!
Wow! Excellent production / editing!
Awesome informative video
Very cool!!!
Wow amazing. That's a lot of mud.
No pumps, haven't see that on a big pour in 20+ years or so. I was also looking for the 400 cycle vibrators with the 48" heads, didn't see any of those either. Quite interesting to see the different styles in different parts of the country. Love the video.
A typical foundation for a two story house in Germany . 😂
High end production!! Keep up the good work! Most construction videos look like a construction guy did it...

Foundation weighs about 18,000,000 pounds.
...so thats where ALL the concrete in the country has been going
No piers to rock? That is the same thing they did for a tower in san francisco. now that tower is falling over.

Yep! How deep to you have to go to hit something hard? A 15' slab foundation isn't all that much weight compared to the above the ground portion of the structure. When when there are piles down to rock, the "cap" is quite substantial. BTW: the San Francisco fiasco used "friction piles" which are OK if they are spread about but then they are close together it become a case of 2+2 = 3 or 2.5 rather than 4.
As a builder, these truck by truck load deliveries are burdensome......I know that area like the back of my hand and getting trucks to and fro must have been a pain...I would be nice to have 100 yd containers that could be prepositioned...Like how they batch pour Dams...

Lets hope this ain't no Millenium Tower 2.0
Wow hopefully this helps the city Because out of all the places I've worked in my life . Philly is by far the most corrupt crime ridden dirtiest places I have worked in. . Along with DC and Baltimore. Kinda like living in hell .

You are being too kind in your name calling. Was better in the late 60s to early 70s under Frank R. Government was corrupt but city was safer.
just did some hydraulic work for silvi
What is the song at 3:00?
What f@cking eyesore compared to the surrounding buildings.

The hotel w was cut down by 30 floors because Silvi's concrete is crap. The only contractor that deals with them is Carson. Because Carson owes all the other concrete companies money

Nonsense. Laurel Rittenhouse was never planned to be a hotel. It's been a residential building for all six years of its development.

I live less than an hour from Philly and went to University there. The campus was nice but I never liked Philiadelphia then and I like it less 35 years later. Corruption from the mayor down to the trash collector and the cops are criminals and thugs. The only time I like Philadelpia is when I’m not there. The thought of spending millions to live there is incomprehensible to me.

I feal for you Doc, but that kind of corruption has been around a very long time and it is EVERYWHERE!!! They call it "The Miami Model". It is in the largest cities to the smallest towns in the U.S. and I am sure, world-wide. God will not take too much more of it, the next 5 years will be interesting to say the least. Take care
It before why US one of very few in World uses imperial system. Metric is so easy 7,14..compared to 3/4", 7/16" .. Never figured it. 1 inch= 2.54cm=25.4mm.
