Concrete pumping is a sophisticated process that streamlines the delivery and placement of concrete in construction projects. By utilizing specialized equipment and techniques, concrete can be efficiently transported and placed in a wide variety of forms and locations.
Pumps come in two main types: Boom Pumps and line pumps. Boom Pumps are equipped with a mechanical arm that extends and articulates to reach various parts of the construction site. Line Pumps use flexible hoses and are often employed for smaller, more confined spaces.
The pumping mechanism involves a set of pistons or cylinders that move the concrete through the pump and into the delivery system. The concrete is pushed through the pipes or hoses under pressure. This pressure is generated by the pump's hydraulic system, which ensures a steady flow of concrete to the desired location.
