Hey all, need to get some footers poured and our new home is on a small hill. I have a case 580 that I could use to move the concrete but going up a sand slope would be a challenge. Pump trucks are really expensive but I will need one for the ICF pour. I was hoping to do the footers but man. Maybe I just need to gravel the entire thing and smooth it out? Thoughts or options?

 

It wouldn't hurt to build an accessway to the site. You'll have lumber and other deliveries coming next. We pump hundreds of cyds every year. See if your ready mix cupplier can provide a pea mix design that you could use a grout pump with, they are a lot smaller and should be considerably cheaper than a boom, and a 3" hose is a lot easier to drag around.....

 

Well I wonder if a grout pump will work, the mix is suppose to be a slope of 7-9 because of the nexcem wood/clay material. According to the technical document anyway.

 

Depending on your regions aggregate quality, another sack of cement per cyd should get you higher strength and a slipperier mix for the smaller hose.....
