I've been working with E-CON-PLACER for the past year and they have been super helpful. They do what they say they're going to do, and I would recommend their business to anyone who needs concrete pumping!
Concrete pumping is the process of placing liquid concrete into hard-to-reach areas using specialized equipment. This allows for faster, more efficient pouring and is commonly used on construction sites where traditional methods like wheelbarrows or cranes are not practical.
Why should I use concrete pumping for my project?
Concrete pumping saves time and labor costs while increasing the accuracy and speed of placing concrete. It's particularly beneficial for hard-to-reach or high-rise projects, reducing the need for manual labor and minimizing disruption on busy sites.
What types of projects require concrete pumping?
Concrete pumping is used in a variety of commercial projects including foundations, slabs, driveways, parking lots, high-rise buildings, and large-scale industrial sites. It's ideal for any project that requires the placement of concrete in difficult-to-reach areas or at significant heights.
How far can concrete be pumped?
Concrete can typically be pumped up to 500 feet horizontally and 150 feet vertically, depending on the type of pump and the specific needs of the site. However, longer distances may require larger or specialized equipment.
How do I know what size pump I need for my project?
The pump size needed depends on the volume of concrete, the distance, and the height the concrete needs to be pumped, as well as the type of project. Our team will assess your project and recommend the appropriate pump size to ensure efficiency and quality.
