255 yards mixed on a barge 44 miles into the Gulf of Mexico. Pumped through 190' of 4" line under a distribution platform. They said it couldn't be done. Guess we proved em wrong.

 

We could have used salt water but it is detrimental to concrete and certain admixtures would have to be used and are expensive. We filled the ballast of the barge with fresh water before we left the dock. We had 13,200 gallons available. Once one was empty we would fill back up with salt water and move to the next to keep the barge stable.
