    That's a decent sized pour. I think the biggest I've ever seen was the foundation for a cone crusher for a gold mine. I wasn't actaully on that project though. For projects I was on maybe some of the big equipment bases, like this giant vibratory screen a few years ago. Hard to say. The big solid cubes of concrete are no fun though. It's the pours with all the weird geometry that are interesting. Have you ever done a project with pre-stressed concrete? I haven't, but I find that interesting as well. Even just jelly bean pre-fab core slabs are kinda neat (but I've never done that either - only installed them after they were fabricated and delivered to site).
