We Pour Concrete Bridges On Big Island Hawaii
Today's video showcases pouring concrete for a bridge deck in downtown Hilo, East Hawaii. Unfortunately, the first two trucks had wet concrete with a 10" slump, and the inspector had to reject them. However, the third truck had the right consistency. Despite the blazing sun and fast-setting concrete, our professional team managed to hustle and get the job done. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the art of the concrete hustle!

There was lots of fish running up and down that canal. Its called the Wailoa river there was mullet and talapia that i seen . Probably 5 pound talapia passed through was a pretty cool spot to work.

Killer work. But man that’s rough 2 whole trucks rejected… are they the main concrete suppliers for you guys on that side? Or the biggest? We have issues with some of concrete suppliers in my area but we have a select few we always try to go too. Less wait time between trucks, good drivers And great mud! Can’t get the top dogs all the time though. lol

They are the general contractors concrete plant. They are a road work company that also own a concrete plant. I feel like sometimes they probably just dont care about that end as much as they should. Yamada is the premier concrete distributor around this side Eastside island. West Hawaii concrete fir the west side

@@thatjuanshow4485 ah I see, we have the same thing with a road work plant and concrete side. They mostly do road work so I feel like they don’t care too much about the concrete side either. Keep up the good work. You guys are slaying it in paradise!
That got exspensive in a hurry

Lol gone forever down in the bum water!
What was the slump on the approved mix design? Clearly its a pump mix and with a high range water they should be approving at 8 +- 1”. I would hav poured it anyway, you would have gotten a “non conformance report”. That concrete would still have passed its breaks at 28 day…

Major waste of money that's for sure someone wasn't watching that water at the plant I'm assuming. Fortunately for us the general had to eat the bill for the concrete because its there own batch plant that delivered it to us. Im sure my boss would have disputed it otherwise. Regardless it was a big bummer to watch fully loaded trucks drive away
