"Why Should I Pump My Concrete?"
A concrete pump places concrete faster with less labor than any other method. You can
save money and free up valuable personnel for other duties. Direct placement without
re-handling improves concrete quality and reduces labor. A concrete pump causes less
congestion than most other methods.
"Pumps Are Not Reliable, They Break Down. What Then?"
A modern concrete pump in the hands of a professional concrete pumping operation is
very reliable. The break-down factor is about 1%. With the widespread use of concrete
pumps, you can generally get a replacement pump quickly, even if from a different
company. Concrete pumping companies work together to be sure the customer is
serviced. Most pumpers carry spare parts and can fix most problems quickly.
"Will I Need A Special Mix?"
Modern concrete pumps will pump most standard mixes. If a mix has to be changed, it
generally will not require additional cement or expense, as the requirements a pump
needs -- a well-graded, homogeneous, dense mix -- are things that are important for good
concrete. Good concrete -- good to finish, good to place -- generally pumps good.
"But I Don't Have Money In My Budget For A Pump."
The total picture must be looked at. If you can decrease total construction time, you can
save money in things like job overhead, equipment rental, and most important, construction
interest charges.
"Are Pumps Safe?"
When used properly, a pump is safer than other methods. You don't have two tons of
concrete swinging or dropping, wrenched backs or tripping accidents associated with
buggies. Request only ACPA Certified Concrete Pump Operators. The certification of
operators is highly safety oriented.
"My Finishers Can Only Take 30 Yards Per Hour, So I Use Buggies. I Don't Need High
Volume."
The steady flow of the pump often increases the productivity of the finishers because of the
lack of interruptions and delays. Labor savings are realized by the elimination of the need to
build runways, move runways, and reduction in mucking and vibrating.
