Advantages of using Concrete Pump in Construction Project

Use of concrete pumps in large-scale commercial construction project is a common sight. But, that doesn’t mean, these are for large sized projects. Medium to small sized construction projects, be it commercial or residential can also use it effectively.

Concrete pumping is the most accurate was of pouring concrete achieving quality results. There are two main types of concrete pumps – boom pumps and line pumps. Both have specific application and the right one is to be picked depending on the situation.

Advantages of using Concrete Pumps:

Faster Pouring speed: Pouring concrete with concrete pumps is the fastest and the simplest. Pumping equipments are mounted on a truck or a trailer to make them accessible to all areas of the site easily.

Reduced number of labor: There is a scarcity of labor in construction industry. Finding a skilled labor for construction jobs is a challenge. Thus, it makes perfect sense to hire concrete pumps. The whole process of laying concrete is executed by several operators and laborers are not needed to carry concrete batches manually.

Higher Accuracy and Quality in Concrete Pouring:

Regardless of the concrete pump you choose, the pouring of concrete is of higher accuracy and quality. It results in minimal material wastage. Whether you want to pour concrete on top of a high rise building or in a foundation slab, concrete pumps can deliver concrete mix to almost any area without leaving spills and lumps on the way.

Improved Concrete Strength:

Concrete pumps need less amount of water in comparison to other pouring techniques. This prevents the concrete from getting the shrink or cracking after being set up. Stronger concrete structure require less maintenance and repair.

Most convenient way of Pouring Concrete:

Compared to traditional counterparts like barrowing, concrete pump pouring eliminates all the challenges one might see during concrete placement.

Pumps can easily access any non conventional area of the construction site unlike barrows which takes ages to reach.
