[TowerTalk] Concrete

[baughn]

Or use a concrete buggy which is available at most rental centers-you can park the truck as close as possible then buggy the load. The buggy usually holds around .4-.5 yds.Steve, WD8NPL Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S10e, an AT&T 5G Evolution capable smartphone

In my opinion, mixing your own for atypical tower base is not a cost effective undertaking unless you have some insurmountable access issue that prevents you from bringing in a mixer truck.    I agree. I've poured dozens of tower bases and every base plan I've ever seen calls for 3kpsi concrete. The labor involved in buying, transporting, mixing and pouring a base yourself doesn't usually pencil out compared to having it delivered.    And if there is an access issue, hire a line pump to get the mud in the hole. It'll pump up to 400 feet which should solve most problems.Cheers,Steve    K7LXCTOWER TECH -Professional tower services for amateur and commercial______________________________________________________________________________________________TowerTalk mailing listTowerTalk at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk
