WHY? |
|
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. |
