I just hit 1000 yards of concrete poured in a single job

We finished a big parking lot pour in Springfield last Friday, and the boss ran the numbers. It was a full 1000 yards, which is the most I've ever been part of from start to finish. We had three pumps going and a crew of twelve working two straight days. It felt huge to see that final number on the ticket. What's the biggest single pour you guys have ever worked on?

That's a monster pour for sure. We did a 750-yard foundation slab once and the logistics alone were crazy.

My buddy worked a 900-yard hospital parking deck pour in Atlanta last summer. They had three pump trucks running nonstop for over 14 hours. He said the worst part was a concrete truck blowing a hose right at the worst possible time, creating a huge mess that held everything up. The crew lead almost lost his mind trying to reroute the next trucks while they cleaned it. It turned into a 20-hour shift for everyone involved.
