Pumping concrete into the wall with a very manual pump. This method worked great. Actually spilling less concrete than I (Greg) did on our basement using a boom truck. This method will work in cases where the walls are almost completely below grade. |
| The ground was very soft due to rain the previous night. Fearing that this might lead to the concrete truck getting stuck if we made two passes for two concrete lifts (two pours of about 4' each), we made this pour in one pass, over 7' in height with NO BLOW-OUTS! | |

This is the best way to pour walls if working off of a smooth floor. The rolling scaffold is much easier than building scaffolding into the bracing, saving time and material. |
