Need a water truck or other way to spray down decent area of pavement
 
I'm assisting a photographer in about two weeks and part of the job is helping him source some stuff for the shoot.
Ideally I'm looking for an alternative to renting a huge water truck, something smaller and less expensive, but still able to spray down a decent sized area of pavement. Any ideas? Or does anyone have any suggestions on where to go for a water truck if I need to go that route?
TIA...

rent a powerwasher?

james_ls 04-01-2007 12:48 PM

What dimensions?

I have a HUGE powerwasher that I use for detailing I could easily drag to you.

Buy a huge container for water. Like a 1000 or 2000 gallon plastic container built for hauling water. Some even have wheels and you can tow it behind a regular truck. I dont know if they rent them or not. But there was one for sale in burlington county NJ I havent drove by it in about 2 weeks so i dont know if its still there.

Like this. They also have ones that dont have the sprayer.

break into a fire hydrant

thanks for the responses. honestly i'm not sure exactly what the dimension will be since i'm not the photog on this shoot, but i am kind of his eyes and ears for right now so i'm trying to do some of the footwork. if i had to guess i'd say maybe a 50x50 foot area would need to be sprayed down... i guess its not all that huge really but more than a few buckets of water :).
does the power washer have a tank or no? we most likely wont be anywhere near running water to tap into so thats the problem.

if there is water supply close def a power washer is the way to go.

Do you just need the area to be wet? Or do you need it powerwashed so that it looks super clean?

den9 04-01-2007 09:52 PM

if i had a crop duster id do a fly by and drop some water down, sorry i cant help though.

wat exactly are u shooting, could u wait for a rain storm?

sherwood 04-01-2007 09:57 PM

talk to the local vol. fire dept. im sure they would be more than able to do some practice and spray the area down for ya!

Ronin Tactical 04-01-2007 09:58 PM

Check with the fire department in that area, and see, for a donation to their unit, if they'd water down your area.

dickerdieter 04-01-2007 09:58 PM

im also curious as to what you are shooting

and for those asking, we're shooting something involving motorcycles. its really not my place to go into detail on it though, just to play it safe.
i'll get in touch with the local volunteer FD, its worth a shot. i'm just trying to make the effort here to see what i can come up with.

doug 04-02-2007 01:49 AM

^lol.. that pic cracks me up every time.

gpzjack 04-02-2007 08:12 AM

I have containers that hold 275 gallons that you could put in a pickup and hook a hose to the valve on the bottom of them.

jay*doc 04-03-2007 08:22 AM

I know i'm new here and all, but i like to help when I can. I have access to a tow behind unit as described above. If you are still in need, PM me the date and location and I'll let you know if I can get it there for you!
