Quick Reference
Typical Placement Rates
Slab on grade (pump): 20-35 cu yd/hr
Slab on grade (direct): 15-25 cu yd/hr
Elevated slab: 15-25 cu yd/hr
Walls: 10-20 cu yd/hr
Columns: 5-15 cu yd/hr
Footings: 20-40 cu yd/hr
Joint Spacing Guidelines (ACI 302.1R)
Rule of thumb: 2-3× slab thickness (in feet)
4" slab: 8-12 ft spacing
5" slab: 10-15 ft spacing
6" slab: 12-18 ft spacing
Panel aspect ratio: max 1.5:1
Saw cut depth: 1/4 to 1/3 slab thickness
