Pumped Concrete

<  Back

Firth provides a range of solutions for delivery of concrete to sites where access is difficult or elevation is required. These include standard mix designs for pumping applications, or specifically formulated mixes to meet your particular needs.

A range of aggregate sizes (10mm, 13mm and 19mm) and strengths (20MPa to 50MPa) are available; depending on the pump type and the intended use of the concrete.

There are three different types of concrete pumps:

Grout Pumps (7-10mm aggregate)
 Grout pumps are suitable for 7-10mm aggregate. Grout pumps are mainly used for grout/blockfill work.

Line Pumps (13-19mm aggregate)
Line pumps are suitable for 13-19mm aggregate. Line pumps are used for larger quantities of concrete - usually over two truckloads. They are capable of pumping aggregate, pebble mix, Flowable Fill™ and spraymix.

Boom Pumps (13-19mm aggregate)
Boom pumps are suitable for 13-19mm aggregate. Boom pumps are capable of pumping aggregate, pebble mix and Flowable Fill™ and some have booms which can reach up to 37 metres long.
