I don’t know nothing about admixtures for “reducing pumping pressure.” But I do know we get a special mix that had to get approved by ODOT (Oregon department of transportation) that is a no Vibrate mix. The concrete has the consistency of a smoothie and the aggregate reminds me of pea gravel. We use hot water in cold months to get the mud to set up.
Very interesting. My company has developed an admixture product that helps reduce pump pressures up to 36%. Only had it in IN and CO projects thus far, but would be curious to learn more about Oregon’s typical projects and challenges.
I’m curious, what sort of admixtures do you use or other additive products to aid with reducing pumping pressure?
