- You can pump concrete into place - over, under, around or behind obstructions. You can even pump concrete under water.
- Concrete can be elevated - pumped up or down with ease. With a placing boom, the delivery line can be manipulated from form to form with no manual labour required.
- When pumping into wall forms, the pipeline can be placed down inside the wall form, eliminating segregation, rock pockets or honeycombs.
- Pumping concrete eliminates the need for cranes, buckets, elevators and wheelbarrows.
- Spills are minimised.
- More cubic metres of concrete can be placed per hour than with any other placing method.
- Pumping concrete permits the exact cost per metre of placement to be calculated and figured.
- A concrete pump requires less space on site then equipment for alternative methods of placement.
- A steady flow from the pipeline ensures the maximum possible efficiency and productivity from the placing gang.
- Truck mixer schedules can be more precisely set and controlled, a traffic pattern that is safe and saves time can be quickly established.
