Had to pump some grout into a "socket" to fill the voids. It was a slab sitting on "H" piles in 40' deep water. The top of slabs were in the splash zone. They drove the piles then sat the slabs over the piles. I pumped the grout into the sockets to stabilize the slabs. The first truck we mixed the anti washout into, it was a little wetter than we wanted , slump at about a 7. The next truck was tight. We added 40 gallons to 5 yards and then poured the anti washout in. I could not tell any difference in slump. I came off my Olin 5-45 with 50' of 2.5 then 50' of 2" then down to a 1.5 steel pipe for a trimmie pipe. I pumped slow to fill a 2 cubic foot void, It pumped like butter with no effort. The first truck had a 3 day break average of 5000 psi. The second truck had a 3 day break of 9000psi. |

Wow that's a thick mix! Glad it went well it's all in the mix design. Geez you even had to reduce down to 1.5" I'm surprised that 0 slump went through. |

It was like clay. We pumped slow and it went like butter. We added anti wash out into the mix and man does that stuff work. Appears we have 3 or 4 more days to finish pumping these sockets. |
