Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Pumping

Concrete pumping is a method of transporting freshly mixed concrete from the delivery vehicle to the required location using specialised pumping equipment. It allows concrete to be placed quickly and accurately, especially on sites where access is restricted or traditional pouring methods are difficult.

Not all mixes are pumpable. We work with your concrete supplier (or provide our own) to ensure your mix has the right consistency and additives for smooth pumping.
