http://www.derwesten.de/staedte/bochum/Beton-ueber-der-A40-id4056216.html Couldnt see the pumping live, but at least our local newspaper did some photos. Its one of the largest new build junctions of the past 5 years. Realy big with 5 new bridges and a seperate road for the Krupp Steel factory.

Why such short tip hoses? Unless they are very pliable, they don't give the hoseman much range of motion.

As far as i know we provide every Pump with a 3m tip hose. Dunno if its German safety rule or manufacturer advise? I dun think we even have longer hoses in our spare part storage. But I do just build theese things and dont really care about short or long hose =) even if they have used Putzmeister on this construction site, I just like to see them working.
