About Concrete Pumping Hire

What is on this site

One question, "concrete pump hire", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 4 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.

• Concrete pump hire cost: what you are actually paying for: Why concrete pump hire has no fixed day rate, how pumping is charged (day, half day, per m3, standing time) and the eight variables that move the number on your job.
• Line pump vs boom pump: which one does your pour actually need?: Line pumps push concrete through hose at ground level; boom pumps place it overhead from a folding arm. What each suits, what each needs on site, and how to choose.
• Concrete pump site access: the set-up checks that decide your price: Outrigger ground, entrance width, overhead cables, road and footway set-up, banksmen and mixer turning space. What contractors check and what an abortive visit costs you.
• Concrete pump washout: whose problem is it, and where does it go?: Pump washout water is highly alkaline and must not enter surface water drains. Who is responsible, what a washout point needs, and what to settle before the pour starts.
