A boom needs room. The truck has to get close enough to swing an arm over the pour, and on a good half of the blocks in South East Queensland it simply cannot. We run high-pressure line pumps instead. The pump sits wherever there is space and the concrete travels the rest of the way through hose.
That is what makes the awkward ones possible. Around the side of a house, through a garage, over a fence, down a batter, up a hill. Long runs do not trouble the plant either, so the price does not jump the moment the pour is not beside the driveway.
Booked direct with Blake and confirmed the afternoon before. Same crew and same trucks whether it is a house slab at Buderim or a culvert on a range job outside Gympie.
How a job runs↓
PUMPD works as a specialist subcontractor. Sprayed and pumped on TMR range works at Kenilworth and Mt Nebo through Doval, downslope stabilisation at Cunninghams Gap through PCA Ground Engineering, and the Swanbank and Tarong BESS builds for Stanwell with Yurika. Also placed for Oz Stabilisation on Lismore City Council flood restoration packages. Referees available on request.
Most of the pumping book is repeat work. Concreters who want the same operator every time, builders who need the slab in before the frame lands, and civil crews who need a pump that fits inside their program.
Six steps, same every time, whether it is a house slab or a culvert on a range road. Click through and see exactly what happens and what we need from you.
You ring 0434 866 490 and Blake answers it. Tell us the pour, the access and the date. Most of the time we can confirm on that call whether the block suits a line run and roughly where you sit in the week.
We work out where the pump stands, where the line runs and what has to be protected on the way. On a tight block that is the difference between a clean day and a mess on your neighbour’s driveway.
In writing, with the inclusions spelled out. You order the concrete, we place it — so the mix and the price of the product stay in your hands and there is no markup hiding in our number.
Site-specific SWMS and a daily pre-start on the plant. On a commercial or civil job our documentation slots into your system instead of sitting beside it in a folder nobody opens.
Pump positioned, lines run, everything that can be splattered gets covered. We work to your placement rate rather than ours, so your finishers are never chasing the hose or standing around waiting on it.
Washout contained or bagged out, the road pressure-cleaned, hose and lines packed away. Then the invoice, which matches the scope and the variations you already signed.
Shot on site, not staged. Slabs, tight blocks and civil pours, all placed by the same crew. More of it goes up on @pumpdconcrete
Anything not answered here, call Blake on 0434 866 490 and ask him directly.
A boom pump swings an arm over the pour, so the truck has to get close and needs room to set up. A line pump sits wherever there is space and sends the concrete through hose. That is what makes tight blocks, long runs and steep ground possible.
Past 100 metres as standard, with aggregate up to 20mm and mixes to 40MPa and beyond. Tell us the run and the fall and we will tell you straight whether it is standard scope.
No. You or your supplier order the mix, we place it. That keeps you in control of the spec and the price, and it means we are not marking up someone else’s product.
The more the better in a busy week, but late bookings get done when the plant is free. Ring Blake and he will tell you where you sit in the program rather than string you along.
Yes. Washout contained on site or bagged out, the road pressure-cleaned before we leave. You should not be able to tell which neighbour had the pump out the front.
Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Brisbane and Gympie as our core area, regularly Gold Coast, Fraser Coast and Northern Rivers NSW, and away work for the right project across regional Queensland.
