It happened to me once. Basically, this can happen if something happens while en route to deliver ready-mix concrete. A breakdown, caught in traffic, etc. Broken axles are a common incident for concrete mixers maneuvering through new construction then the truck gets stuck with no place to unload. You only got about 3 hours or so, depending on the mix and temperature. My story is I was driving a loaded 8 yard (16 tons) mixer and the driver side frame rail broke while I was driving, the drum was leaning heavily to the passenger side. The first thing the mechanic said to me was "How'd you keep this thing upright?" I dunno, I just held on for dear life. Meanwhile the truck sat for too long while the mechanics put a massive weld on the frame to get it back to the shop. That truck sat in the back of the yard for years with the cured concrete still in it.

Man that is awesome.... not sure if you can but have you thought about doing it with the material in the air so when you blow out the debris falls away from what’s stock....

Hi Dave mate☺ you might say that was concrete evidence of somebody cocking it up, lol, I didn't envy you being in there drilling all them holes, but job done mate , and they still had a mixer at the end of it, thanks for another great video, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.

Thanks for tuning in again Stuart. Concrete evidence, sure is.

I would have shouted into the mixer, "FIRE IN THE HOLE!"

Wow, 100mpa and fibres!! Be interesting to know what that was being used for, 👍🇬🇧👍

What is is used for? ASCE concrete canoe competitions. Concrete countertops..sometimes done upside down with the surface poured first using a fine aggregate surface, then the fiber reinforced main layer. Expensive as frig for anything else.

I WAS wondering how they cleaned them out at the end of a YEAR!

Most of the regular clean out is just removing build up because over time it gets thicker and the capacity reduces, this is a whole different level of disaster when a full load goes off inside.

Grandfather was a mason. He knew of a guy who let the concrete set in a mixer like that. The boss made the guy bust it out with a sledge and a chisel

You are a brave man, Dave. I would have had the yellow gas bottle visible in the last shot removed (welding gas/acetylene?). Acetylene is really unstable, and a nice shockwave could have set the bottle off, removed the wall and put the mixer in low earth orbit... Glad it worked out for you!

Fear not, the yellow bottle was only a compressed air receiver.

Back in early 1990s I worked in a limestone quarry. Another part of the company was a lime plant. The lime kiln was,I'm guessing,200 ' long about 15' in diameter. To clean the slag out of the kiln,the company had a 10ga. Shotgun on a tripod and some workers stood there all day, maybe several shifts and fired 10 ga. Slugs at the paddles inside the kiln. I've seen 80 lb lime bags,dozens of them,full of spent paper 10ga. Shotshells.

Well dun . The second round with the very brave camera was brilliant . I viewed it by going to settings open then open playback speed and click on 0.25 , then sound off , full screen and play AWSEAM
