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.....
I love working in concrete, I Got out of it for a while and just got back and realised how much i missed it definitely didnt miss the super hot scorching days in the sun but thats part of the job
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.
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...
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 .
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
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.
What's the biggest concrete pour you've ever seen?
3x5 slab
Biggest pour I’ve ever been on was 600 yards, fraction of this. I’ve been driving mixer for 2 years.

That’s a massive mat pour for a single day. Crews must’ve been exhausted after. Nice work
From Philly. Living in Ohio. Epic video. Godspeed
AWESOME JOB to all companies involved.
High end production!! Keep up the good work! Most construction videos look like a construction guy did it...
haha thanks Dustin
Wow! Excellent production / editing!
Wow amazing. That's a lot of mud.
Awesome work! Love this kind of content!

Awesome informative video
A typical foundation for a two story house in Germany . 😂
No piers to rock? That is the same thing they did for a tower in san francisco. now that tower is falling over.

Foundation weighs about 18,000,000 pounds.
Great video 👍👍
excellent video, with perfect editing!
...so thats where ALL the concrete in the country has been going
Very cool!!!
Can’t imagine how many pockets needed to be “greased” in order to get permits from one of the most corrupt city’s in the country.
Completely wrong it’s not the old days in Philly anymore
Lol American it’s self is corrupted 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup and their right to work tax. F’n bullshit
All Philly concrete is still old school mob ran

Lets hope this ain't no Millenium Tower 2.0
just did some hydraulic work for silvi
What f@cking eyesore compared to the surrounding buildings.

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.
Dosent seem like enough foundation for 600ft tall.
That’s why you’re not an engineer

What is the song at 3:00?

Carson is awful.
Nonsense. Laurel Rittenhouse was never planned to be a hotel. It's been a residential building for all six years of its development.
Ah the age old entirely false claim about the hotel cut down. The W/Element was planned for 51 floors. It finished with 51 floors.
6:59 The video said the building is 48 floors.
❤️❤️
Rittenhouse square... 66 condos.. What else will i hear
Really missed an opportunity to add 3 more condos in there
