This video is sadly propaganda. No company in China would spend money on this equipment. Construction companies in China are incentivized to spend as little as possible when building anything. That's why all their builds collapse after a few years or just never even have anyone occupy it. Just a good way to build a lot and artificially boost a countries GDP.
I like how everyone is full safety gear and then you got that one guy whose pants are almost torn all the way off him wearing no safety gear whatsoever LOL
He ain’t the only one. Had a laser screed do a job in 1999 that had a very experienced crew. Lots of 10 year Muckers and 20 year supervisors. Curb and gutter crews would show up at 7 order 20 yards at 10 and another at 2. All without a single form set. We had 3/16” birdbaths at worst. We had a million dollar saw on one end of the slab and truss fabrication tables on the other end.
I have done a lot of that professionally, I grew up in the trade. The rick sanchez perfect level bit is one of my favorite pieces of comedy EVER. Cracks me up every time.
i worked in a modern research facility and some of the halls were just epoxy painted concrete and if you shuffled your feet along you could feel and see the humps and lumps in the floor
@@geoken2 honestly uneven floors are hard that’s why there’s a sub trade within it that come in and lay self leveling on high rise/condos . To make life easier for hardwood guys . Now tilt ups l/commercial are a lot easier to level as it’s poured in panels so it’s less stressful for guys
I'm floored by the craftsmanship. It would seem like a crime to cover up such a flat, pretty floor like that with...anything. But is it True Level, Morty?
I helped a friend install comslab which are long span metal forms to lay your concrete floor on second levels and above on a new hotel going up in Detroit, It was pretty cool to watch the final outcome. At least these guys have a floor already to walk on, we had to build the floor by walking on beams.
Where was the FF, floor flatness testing? It was broke with a walk behind machine way too wet. They should’ve used hydrostatic double trail with pizza pans. If you’re going to pour a true FF which is a super flat floor. There is no walking on the product. Numbers nobody ever gave any flatness numbers. Your average high school gymnasium in the United States would have beenInstalled with much flatter techniques.
Or a time lapse camera during the dry down from washing or curing. That shows up all the birdbaths Never seen top coating with a dry mix then walking on almost right away. I’ve never seen steel fiber in the mix. Seen lots of wire panels or fiberglass fibers.
Dude, I agree with you on the Ff, also Fd and Fs...density and strength. Also no reinforced steel on ground anywhere. Particulary around columns, and concrete was too wet for using power screeds. Those backpack vibrators don't throw out enough frequency to consolidate the product either. However, I will say this..from zero high technology in 1930s, to today, they have mastered copying all our products and knowledge, guess that's why they are considered a threat.
@@Harold_Flite They have the look of the thing, but as said above, there is no rebar. And what of the sub grade? This slab won't measure up to any vehicular traffic, equipment, or stationary machinery.
It's quite common for quick welds that the welder just looks away with eyes closed. Not that it's a good idea due to sunburn. Any unprotected skin gets sunburned if you weld like that for a whole day.

I love the difference in welding posture that you can observe between Chinese welders and North American welders. Chinese welders in the field have that classic deep squat with flat foot and North American welders hunch over with asscrack exposed. Similarities can be seen too, like: Guy holding the work who doesnt really want to be there and safety squints.
Like you, I’ve done quite a bit of work with “concrete” floors - both finishing off floors that others have laid (badly) and to our barn conversion. I’ve seen and used the rotary trowel machines but never seen the ride on version but I can see it’s just sensible for those large areas. For the barn conversion, we were thinking of having a concrete floor with inclusions; almost like a terrazzo style but it worked out cheaper to have a normal substrate and large tiles on top. For that job, we had an area 30m x 12m x 0.3m and it took many loads from the concrete mixer lorry. We were told that steel fibre is okay but the best reinforcement was a plastic. These were helical shapes perhaps 5cm long made out of recycled material. The idea, we were told, was that the helical shape provided a much better bond than just straight fibres of anything. Is that right? Who knows? It’s been down 5 years and, in the portion not yet tiled, the cracks are extremely small. In terms of the quality of work shown, it is extremely high. However, it is obviously being used as a showcase for this company’s work and therefore, it wasn’t a case of cost-effectiveness but rather just get the best possible result regardless of cost.
@@theofarmmanager267 I guess putting so much effort in only makes sense for very defined application like special laboratories where they have to minimize any toleranze, or high precision machine work, where the ground and machine also have to be as level as possible. But it's still quite impressive how far we come from just pouring concrete in.
Problem is its like glass so bloody slippy for fork trucks and loaders. they tried it in a local potatoe shed and had to rough it up after the first year

@@Mr30friends dude, it's a hangar. All countries in the world have them, even the most backwater third world countries. What are you putting in yours ? The country of Taiwan fills theirs with world-leading microchip manufacturing lines no one in China comes close to matching.

Also, you really need to understand that your "flourishing industry" impresses no one.

You're still acting as if the industrial revolution was yesterday. Maybe for you it was. Everywhere else, it's mundane. You really need to wake up.
No in-slab reinforcing and no indication of fiber in the mix. They cut the joints way too deep and too far apart. Might be a flat floor - can't wait for the curling to start with all that plastic directly under the slab.
curl up at the edges, then crack at the low point when the edge comes back down. Gonna be not a lot of fun for someone. But hey, they had 40 or so people with shiny hats and clip boards, there must be quality, right?
What BS, it's clearly shown to be reinforced with steel fiber. It's not because we buy the cheapest stuff from china that they are inept at everything, they are perfectly capable of good concrete work.
With 30 years in the industry, I'm sorry to say there is still multiple errors here. Structural steel is paramount. Regardless of how many fibres you put in, there is nothing stopping it from cracking and coming loose over time. Too much emphasis and relying on machines, particularly placing. If your guys cannot pull a screed, forget it. Here in Australia, we operate on a + or - 3mm tolerance envelope. Over 25 sq mtrs. So you can get your screeding flat accordingly. And once you start machining your slab, stay off the bloody thing, your putting holes everywhere and it's way more work to fill them up. And if that was what I would assume a Master Plate powder or iron filings being layed on top, you need to compact that in with an old school Kelly float, one big 15mm steel plate , then your pan, then your combination blades, then finishing blades. Those ride ons are fun btw, Razorback produce the best concrete finishing machines....imo. Absolutely no shade tho, just something to consider.
surprised no one else noticed the lack of rebar, or the thin floor. Must be a show room or something, because if it is a shop floor around here, it is typically a lot thicker, with multiple layers of bar, and thickenings/ pads cast in where machinery is to be placed. I mean, if you're going to operate equipment on it, 8" with 15mm rebar is a lot more normal. Last crane shop I built had 16 inches of concrete with a double mat of 15mm on 1' centers, plus a third mat in some areas. Tirepads for haul trucks run up to 3 feet thick with 2- 4 matts in them of 25- 35 mm rebar. But that's the extreme. Usually a garage would be 4-6 inches thick with 10-15 mm on a 2' spacing or less. I've found the 10 mm on a 2' spacing will crack and fail a lot of the time, depending on the sub grade. But I'm just a concrete repairman/ finisher / cribber / demolisher. What do I know?

They can endeavor to release them from a cursed legacy and free them from the acts and deeds recorded on their immortal souls. Though it may be a Herculæn task. If the will be strong, their minds will follow. Though the trek be arduous in the heady thinning air, they shall continue to the pivotal point of the panorama and turn to see what may be of what has passed and what floor has now amalgamated into the present time.

Can we take 1 second to talk about the dudes pants @2:29? What the hell happened? This is a baller precision master piece.... and on the day they're filming, he shows up with the most a hybrid of jeans/cut offs!?!
Having worked in construction, what are you gonna do when faced with that guy? You NEED him. Muds settting. NOW. he can wear what he wants. Also, dress acumen does not correlate with workmanship. perception of workmanship, yes. But I'd almost argue that the best and fastest crews I've seen are a bit worse for wear. Concrete destroys your clothing, and working it is demanding, and HOT. So you wear junk, and it gets wrecked. An extra hole keeps you a bit cooler. Ofc, on industrial sites with codes for that, they pay through the ass to buy everyone new clothes constantly.
Don't not why they don't float straight after they level to avoid walking back over and filling boot holes again, seems to void the work of the levelling machine.
Actually the leveling machine has two jobs. One is to level, but to also push the drymix down to form a stronger bond and allowing the top to become smooth in the process.
@@jordankapeliela yeah whatever,we use a levelling machine and never walk back over creating more work, good for you.,we got quad ride on's, these guy's only have treble's, amateurs
This music sounds like they are overcoming adversity and doing something truly heroic. Is this the same soundtrack they use when they go check the mail too?
It'll fuck up sooner than that. no rebar, so unless the sub base is some sort of perfect material, and the floor is never subjected to any large loads, it's gonna fuck right up.
Some hard hat wearing people were also riding the trowel machines, so.....and how do you know who's more senior at the job? Or maybe you saw what you wanted to see?
@@TAllyn-qr3io Lol, so when you're caught saying things about a video you had obviously skipped through, your defense mechanism involved (A) pretending you didn't mean it, and (B) pivoting from the embarrassment that was yours alone to a nebulous discussion of PC. Impressive, if only you'll learn how to use parentheses, that would be peachy.
I’d lose my mind with that many people watching me work. Back off, give me space, let me focus. I’m not doing my job so you can ogle at me, I’m doing my job to make money.
All that effort with steel expansion joints, steel fibres, dry shake hardener and polishing but a shame to have the slab with contraction joint saw-cuts.
What's up with this video? Why is it in my recommended? I have no interest in industrial concrete flooring. The video is not even that good, just an avarage industrial showcase. The comments are all positive and in awe of the work being done.
Instead of writing such toxic nonsense comment which no one can do anything with, you can just click the 3 dots next to the thumbnail and click "Not interested" -> "Tell us why" -> "I don't like the video".
I work for a company that does that kind of work and man making them floors look like that takes a long time. Usually we start at 2 in the morning and them guys in those riding machines are on them till 5 in the afternoon. Specialy in the cold. I'm on the pour crew so we use the screed which is a cool machine but man this kind of work sucks.
I found it interesting they laid plastic down. We have found it problematic having the plastic as it seems to cause issues with the drying process. We see a lot of surface cracking all over. You can see this cracking at 3:46
Waterproofing? I'm not sure where this is geographically, but where I live the water table is only a couple of feet down and water comes up through the concrete in the houses. We had carpet in one room without a water barrier under it and when I put one of those plastic chair mats down, so I could roll an office chair on the carpet, it got very wet and moldy underneath very quick from the water coming up through the concrete foundation.
The plastic vapor barrier in that scenario would be a pain making the concrete difficult to work. An accelerator. then topping off with that powdered topping. This all looks like a headache. Water not being able to go down because of the plastic. But wanting to walk on right away to power trowel. It looks like it was beginning to set up when they were top coating it. But cold joints would be a big pain for having to get so close to top coat
I love how some guys walk around and work in torn jeans and crocs and some with helmets and protective gear. Just amazing how complicated that insurance system must be! :P
That is china. If a worker has an accident he'll be thrown out on the street and left there, to be replaced by another one who is, of course, treated equally....
there's no worker rights or standards there, which is good for progress, but the lack of a standards-process is why the construction there is kinda sketchy. never know how reliable it is
I suddenly want to drive a "ride-on trowel" as my primary form of travel.

Though the trek be arduous in the heady thinning air, they shall continue to the pivotal point of the panorama and turn to see what may be of what has passed and what floor has now amalgamated into the present time. The doubters overthrown, their spirits overpowered with righteous vengeance. With the malaise neutralized, theta wave irradiated, with a conspicuous silence from once demagogues who have fallen from their castles in the air.
Oh you wanna see true level?
So this is how Rick achieved true level!
how good would that be to skate
Dude with the ripped pants - I get my monies worth man.
Ripped guys pants slowly come off
I found this video extremely impressive and educational. and those twin trowel riders looked like fun to operate.
Imagine riding a skateboard with like 100 duro wheels on this. You’d never slow down.
Just a Chinese company ad,….
Won't hold up. No Italians on the job.
Can we take 1 second to talk about the dudes pants @2:29? What the hell happened? This is a baller precision master piece.... and on the day they're filming, he shows up with the most a hybrid of jeans/cut offs!?!
Having worked in construction, what are you gonna do when faced with that guy? You NEED him. Muds settting. NOW. he can wear what he wants.
Also, dress acumen does not correlate with workmanship. perception of workmanship, yes. But I'd almost argue that the best and fastest crews I've seen are a bit worse for wear. Concrete destroys your clothing, and working it is demanding, and HOT. So you wear junk, and it gets wrecked. An extra hole keeps you a bit cooler.
Ofc, on industrial sites with codes for that, they pay through the ass to buy everyone new clothes constantly.
He is WoKe 😂 🤣
@@hosmerhomeboy It's quite common in companies that employees are required to wear company clothing. There is no excuse to walk around like that.
Don't not why they don't float straight after they level to avoid walking back over and filling boot holes again, seems to void the work of the levelling machine.
Actually the leveling machine has two jobs. One is to level, but to also push the drymix down to form a stronger bond and allowing the top to become smooth in the process.
@@jordankapeliela yeah whatever,we use a levelling machine and never walk back over creating more work, good for you.,we got quad ride on's, these guy's only have treble's, amateurs
Wow. Pretty impressive.
Id love a garage that big.
Filled with toys lol
This music sounds like they are overcoming adversity and doing something truly heroic. Is this the same soundtrack they use when they go check the mail too?
I pressed mute after a minute 😂. It's quite a few iterations over the top indeed.
@@Engineer9736 😂"quite a few iterations" 😂 Well said!
Only to have that warehouse sit unused for years before deciding to tear it down.
It'll fuck up sooner than that. no rebar, so unless the sub base is some sort of perfect material, and the floor is never subjected to any large loads, it's gonna fuck right up.
@@hosmerhomeboy it has steel fiber in the mix. No rebar needed.
@@chrisestill8825 someone who paid attention. 👍
'
love that flat smooooth cement / concrete...
but when get fully completey dry then later will be crack apart
amateurs!
"True level, bitch"
Wow China are great
I bet it all went to shit the second the camera turned off.
Or, the first earthquake. And without rebars.
Amazing quality work!
Nothing special here there's dips in it you just can't see them I'm a tile installer and i bet if i put my 12 foot level on it there's dips
Morty would tell you how important a level floor is.
*_У меня в квартире, перепады по плитам в 3 см._* 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Исправить не сложно
I noticed (the guy not wearing a hard hat), that the senior workers get to ride the “cool-as-shit” riding trowel machines and newbies are on foot. 😀
Some hard hat wearing people were also riding the trowel machines, so.....and how do you know who's more senior at the job? Or maybe you saw what you wanted to see?
@@aaabbb-py5xd sarcasm man! Can’t people tell when someone is being a smartass anymore? Shit, this is a PC world. 😏
@@TAllyn-qr3io Lol, so when you're caught saying things about a video you had obviously skipped through, your defense mechanism involved (A) pretending you didn't mean it, and (B) pivoting from the embarrassment that was yours alone to a nebulous discussion of PC. Impressive, if only you'll learn how to use parentheses, that would be peachy.
@@aaabbb-py5xd TH-cam is for general piss taking…..
Remember that the next time you read or make a comment. Touché as they say….
Not new! Steel fiber concrete has tradition like 1990s. In germany
@Ben Chuft And in Australia also.
Hands down my ultimate goals to reach super flat floors
these days, it is really nice to see something being built rather than destroyed.
Thats not superflat anything, extended joint maybe but not superflat, you will never get anything superflat with dry shake or walk behinds.
2:28 Maybe give that guy a raise so he can buy new clothes? 😂😂 Interesting that they let him walk around like that on a demonstration event.
I’d lose my mind with that many people watching me work. Back off, give me space, let me focus. I’m not doing my job so you can ogle at me, I’m doing my job to make money.
Is this used in building semiconductor fab ?
Yes, not potato sheds.
All that effort with steel expansion joints, steel fibres, dry shake hardener and polishing but a shame to have the slab with contraction joint saw-cuts.
For when you want to experience "True Level".
Warning: may warp your perception of reality....
More and more concrete jungle. Probably an Amazon warehouse that will be populated and automated with robots.
The company that leased the building went out of business because of all the workers comp cases of slipping on glass-like concrete...
What's up with this video?
Why is it in my recommended?
I have no interest in industrial concrete flooring. The video is not even that good, just an avarage industrial showcase.
The comments are all positive and in awe of the work being done.
not my comments lol. No rebar. Not actually a superflat floor. Just polished. Slabs thin for what looks to be the intended use.
Instead of writing such toxic nonsense comment which no one can do anything with, you can just click the 3 dots next to the thumbnail and click "Not interested" -> "Tell us why" -> "I don't like the video".
I poured a concrete pad to hold my 500 gallon propane tank. I thought I was pretty cool. I watched this video. I’m not cool.
That looked way more labor intensive than it should have been....
I work for a company that does that kind of work and man making them floors look like that takes a long time. Usually we start at 2 in the morning and them guys in those riding machines are on them till 5 in the afternoon. Specialy in the cold. I'm on the pour crew so we use the screed which is a cool machine but man this kind of work sucks.
Wow! Beautiful! Yeh, love to have the job to operate the ride-on polisher! That's one beautiful floor!
3:43 You reallly don't seem to care about people's health in China. It's so disappointing. Will you ever learn?
The Italians have been doing this work since the time of Rome.
Too many engineers. This can be good.
Ride on trowel. C'mon that's not even a job that's just fun.
I found it interesting they laid plastic down. We have found it problematic having the plastic as it seems to cause issues with the drying process. We see a lot of surface cracking all over. You can see this cracking at 3:46
Waterproofing? I'm not sure where this is geographically, but where I live the water table is only a couple of feet down and water comes up through the concrete in the houses. We had carpet in one room without a water barrier under it and when I put one of those plastic chair mats down, so I could roll an office chair on the carpet, it got very wet and moldy underneath very quick from the water coming up through the concrete foundation.
@Popeye yes, but China is huge, I wonder if this is in a tropical area or higher dryer area?
Always use a vapor barrier. Has zero effect on the surface. Concrete does not dry.
The plastic vapor barrier in that scenario would be a pain making the concrete difficult to work. An accelerator. then topping off with that powdered topping. This all looks like a headache. Water not being able to go down because of the plastic. But wanting to walk on right away to power trowel. It looks like it was beginning to set up when they were top coating it. But cold joints would be a big pain for having to get so close to top coat
@Popeye Ah well let me get some bat fried wice to continue watching this fine production!
Hee hee...They used those ride-on trowels in my neighbour's new barn. I was desperate to have a go!!!
wow all of gears are so clean as if it is new. damn
Awe gee... my grandpa Rick can show you REAL level.............
Why isn't there more women working here!! Equal work equal pay!!
And then a cat walks across it when your not looking
But the cat would know when to use _you're_ instead of "your".
Goya has buildings with floors like this in south Florida….
A lot of technology happening in China today, as opposed to the West or Japan !
An estimated 500 people were buried under that floor to help smooth out the ripples and make a perfectly useless sheen 😅
Good to see so much attention to detail and training people 👍👍👍
A really successful slave nation!
lmao walking into a building in china is like making a bet with God that you'll survive.
Why are there so many people standing around watching people pour concrete?
How I feel when I put my hair clippers on the shortest setting.
2:28 someone buy this poor kid a new pair of jeans!
if its made in China, that is your assurance of top quality.
A mirror !
Нато-геть із нашої хати! nato-is out of our house!
I love how some guys walk around and work in torn jeans and crocs and some with helmets and protective gear. Just amazing how complicated that insurance system must be! :P
That is china. If a worker has an accident he'll be thrown out on the street and left there, to be replaced by another one who is, of course, treated equally....
Yeah totally "complicated".
Most of tehm just dont have it. XD
You don't want to ruin clothes with concrete it's that simple
there's no worker rights or standards there, which is good for progress, but the lack of a standards-process is why the construction there is kinda sketchy. never know how reliable it is
Waste of time...Stupid idea. Flat is all that matters.
2:30 le mec c'est fait attaquer par une horde de pangolins vu l'état de son pantalon...
