Are You a Project Manager Unsure About Which Concrete Pump for Your Construction Project?
Project managers overseeing large-scale construction projects share their concern about what the appropriate concrete pump would meet their project’s specific requirements in terms of capacity, reach, and efficiency.
Our Expert Advice: To choose the right concrete pump, consider the project type. Whether you are working on a basement construction, an office block that requires reinforced concrete or new build housing estate’s driveways prepare for awkward requirements. Our range of pumps, including the Sermac Zenith and Extreme series, offer precise concrete placement and speed.
A contractor selecting a concrete pump for a new build housing development has to think about different foundation types and the right equipment that meets the project’s needs in terms of capacity, reach, and efficiency.
Are You a Contractor Deciding On a Concrete Pump For a New Build Housing Estate?
Traditional foundations use trenches filled with concrete, while piled foundations go deeper with columns filled with reinforced concrete or vibrated stone. Raft foundations, with added steelwork, spread the load and are good for sites with old structures. These methods are great for tasks like pouring footings, making reinforced concrete forms, and doing groundworks in new housing areas or maintenance projects.
Our Expert Advice: For contractors, mobility, and ease of use are paramount. Our ground line pump and boom pump options cater to diverse needs. These pumps offer flexibility, precision, and reduced labour costs.
