In the construction industry, the best and most efficient way to place concrete for a project is a concrete pump. These ingenious machines make it possible to raise the cement material to heights that fuel the imagination of skyscraper engineers and developers. High-pressure pumps with booms and long lines enable pouring of concrete beyond most people’s comfort zone and allow ease of access to this valuable material in hard-to-reach areas.
Any other method of transporting and placing concrete, creates adverse and unsafe conditions as well as increases costs beyond what is feasible due to the need for use of a large amount of manual labor. Engineering today assumes mechanized pouring of concrete that fits within the cost budget in a given project. Without modern concrete pumping equipment, many, perhaps most, of our buildings and other construction projects would not be economically feasible. Concrete pumping not only shortens the work and saves overhead costs, but also reduces the number of personnel used in the discharge of material.
