a new steam line had to be put under a hallway between to buildings,and in the process there was a large void under the floor of the hallway, We were hired to put a form on each side around the pipe and a company came and pumped in a clay like material with portland mixed in it to fill the void, We pumped in 9 yds of material, The hose went into the hallway and holes were drilled in the floor,and the mix was pumped in. The mixer truck was full when it arrived,and we transferd a load from another dump truck into the mixer truck as the day went on , Had to work late to lock eveverything up, rushed to get to see my daughter leaving for the prom,Then go to the nursing home to see my mom to make sure she is doing ok. It was quite a day. At the end of the day my boss called from his fishing trip in Florida and said how did everything go? I said fine!

Larry - how did you know when to stop pumping? We used to use a similar process to level joints in highway pavement. We looked for a certain line pressure, or a certain amount of movement of the slab, but in a building, you could easily bust the floor and end up being the goat! Did you use multiple holes and pump until you saw runout from the other holes?

Very nice pictures of your daughter! I'm sure you and your wife are very proud of her. She's a beautiful girl.
