Trailer Mounted Concrete Pumping

• Greatly reduces the risk of landslides due to changes in water amounts.
• Protects existing infrastructure from damage.

• Prevent odors and ground instability due to pipe deterioration
• Eliminate accidental death and injury due to mine cave-ins

• Improves geomaterials (soil & rock).
• Strengthens or reduce water flow through a formation.
• Corrects faults in concrete and masonry structures.
• Strengthens the foundation to support the weight of the overlying structure.

Managers and supervisors like trailer mounted concrete pump technology because it has several distinct advantages over other concrete laying methods:
 

• It allows for improved construction times, reduced cost, and more aggressive engineering projects.
• It offers quicker return on investment for companies and individuals hiring the concrete work, as efficiency is greatly improved.
• Its compact size provides better mobility around job sites.
• Its lower output rates are ideal for commercial AND residential projects.
• Its unobtrusive presence allows other construction projects to continue simultaneously.

 
Pressure Grouting is a process that injects a grout under the ground and into loose soils to solidify and strengthen the foundation soils. The mixture can be injected as deep as 80 feet or more underground. This process can be used to stabilize soil or in some cases, lift structures that have settled.

Engineers and contractors like trailer mounted concrete pump technology because:
 

• It has the ability to handle a wide variety of pumping applications such as commercial slabs and decks, shotcrete, even vertical concrete pumping for multi-story buildings.
• It can pump the harshest pea gravel mixes all the way up to 1” (25mm) hard rock concrete.
• With its compact size and hundreds of feet of hose, it’s easy to gain access to tight or difficult work sites.
• It takes away some of the physical labor involved in transporting large volumes of concrete.

How Do They Work?

The concrete pump generally consists of a receiving hopper, two concrete pumping cylinders, and a valve system controlling the flow of the concrete from the hopper to the pipeline. Pre-mixed concrete, which can be prepared on-site or hauled from mixing stations, is loaded into the hopper. One cylinder receives from the hopper while the other dispenses to the pipe. The pipeline is made up of both steel lengths of pipe and heavy duty flexible hose. Long lengths of hose can be used to reach the point of placement without losing pump pressure.

With the development of construction technology, new machinery, methods, and techniques, what once were difficult tasks have now become easier, more efficient and more precise. While concrete pumping can be used in all construction sites, it is especially useful in projects where space for equipment is limited and the terrain is rather complicated.
