Big Pour on a cold day

Today we sent every one of our trucks out plus about a dozen leasers from two other companies. It felt like an old WWII when the huge flight of bombers would get loaded up and head out to the target. All I could do was wait anxiously by the radio and set aside tools I might need if someone froze up or broke down.
Actually it was quite similar to a bombing mission because my main concern was that they reach their target and drop the payload......making it home was less of a priority. But it all went smooth.:drinkup

Pretty good analogy MB. ;)

What did you do to the mix to deal with cold? Surely not a bridge pour.

We can't pour unless it's 35 and rising, which must not be the case for you. I'll bet the finishers did sweat much.

i heard the specifics, but I usually don't pay attention. I know it was into a pump. I'll ask how we do cold stuff. I know we've also been selling "Flow Fill"
That first mixer in the photo has one of those Revolution Fiberglass drums, smooth like an eggshell.
