I'm new here, and just wondered what is the biggest pour you have done.
I was on a couple of 2000 meter pours many years ago.
I know in the states you use yards, are your yards the same as UK yards ?.
6 yards=4.6 meters I think.
Thats about 2609 yards approx.

Just shy of 990 yds, but I work for a small family owned company, and the job was about 22 miles away. With 16 trucks working non-stop.

Dang. Those are some big ones. We've only got two plants in this area, so about 1000 yards is the biggest I can remember for a single job on a single day.
