concrete on steep slopes
(OP)
I have a mix design requiring 4 inch max slump. the concrete is to be placed on approximately 4H:1V slope, probably using a pumper. Typically a superplasticizer would be used, which would increase the slump. So how would this be accomplished staying in spec but pumping a stiff mix? Could slump be taken at delivery and then super p added prior to pumping? Or would pumping just be a poor choice for placing the concrete? Crane with bucket is not an option.

If the quantity is fairly low, contractor might be able to use a hi-lift, skid steer, or off-road buggies.
Depending on the purpose, I've seen (but not used) a concrete mat that you add water to. Designed mainly for lineing ditches.
