Largest concrete pumps in the world will be used to spray cooling water onto the reactors at Fukushima

.
Gary Schmidt, a regional sales manager from Putzmeister America, watches as one of the world's largest concrete boom pumps is loaded onto a Russian Antonov An-124 cargo jet at the Los Angeles International Airport Friday April 8,2011. The Russian cargo planes will carry the massive pumps from airports in Atlanta and Los Angeles to Japan to spray cooling water on reactors at the damaged Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant.


 Company personnel walk around a 95-ton Putzmeister concrete pumper to be delivered to Japan at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport on April 8, 2011, in Atlanta, Georgia. A Russian cargo plane will transport the 95-ton concrete pumper to assist in the cooling down efforts of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

    That is an odd use for a concrete mixer. I guess if they are able to use it, then good for them. It is the perfect example for thinking outside of the box. Hopefully the water will be able to cool the machine down properly.

    I wouldn't have thought that they made concrete pumps that large. Nor would I have thought to use one to do something like that. Is that the only situation where they've needed to use a concrete pump for something other than what it was originally intended for? http://www.grundyredimix.com/cicInfo.shtml#pump
