What type of concrete are you using?
Its always good to know what type of concrete you are using? The strength and colour will impact how we place your concrete.

How a concrete pump works!
How A Concrete Pump Works: Everything You Need To Know
Concrete pumps were invented to replace the previously used bucket and crane systems used to move liquid concrete upwards during the construction of skyscrapers. The pumps are designed to pump liquid concrete over long distances horizontally and vertically. Concrete pumps usually rely on the use of electrical and mechanical systems to generate enough power to move the heavy and thick concrete over the necessary distance.
It is important to note that, to maintain the continuous flow of concrete, the pumps rely on the use of a sophisticated vale system.
Some concrete pumps are usually used together with a boom system that is used to support and direct the concrete outlet pipes.
Read on below to find out more on how concrete pumps work.
Once the concrete mix is ready to be pumped over the necessary area, it is emptied onto a hopper. The hopper is a tray designed to be large enough to hold a fresh supply of concrete mix. The hopper is equipped with an agitator which is used to keep the liquid concrete as smooth as possible to facilitate easy pumping. The liquid concrete is then fed into the concrete pump from the hopper.
To effectively move liquid concrete over the necessary distance, concrete pumps rely on the power of hydraulic pumps, pistons and highly sophisticated valves. Today, most concrete pumps use a twin cylinder design. In this design, concrete is drawn into the concrete cylinder as the piston moves in the opposite direction, pumping concrete out. This means that the cylinder is filled and emptied with the alternating movements of the piston. This design helps maintain a continuous flow of liquid concrete through the single outlet pipe.
To power the piston, concrete pumps use a hydraulic pump. The is fitted with two hydraulic cylinders that provide the power for the alternate movements made by the piston in the concrete cylinder.
As previously stated, a synchronized valve is used to maintain continuous flow of concrete through the outlet pipe. The main function of the valve is to detect which pump is in use.
Concrete pumps have changed how concrete is distributed a construction site. The equipment has made the pumping of concrete over long distances faster and easier; this especially the case when constructing high rise buildings. These pumps have automated a once labor intensive task, and with it helped achieve substantial cost savings.
