A concrete pump, us a pump used to pump concrete form tthe mixer yo its desired area if application. They are mostly used in large construction sites where alot of concrete must me poured at very fast rate. It makes work easier since it is able to transfer huge amounts of concrete before it dries or it becomes too hard to hahdle. There are mainly two types of concrete pumps: boom pumps/truck mounted and line pumps. A boom pump hasa hydraulic arm that is remotely controlled, the arm is called a boom. Tge hydraulic arm can be manually operated remotely, it can maneovere tgriugh tight spots and it can transfer concrete to greater heights. Here are the roles of a concrete boom pump:
● Faster Application Of Concrete
A boom pump is able to pump more concrete than the line pumps, it doesn’t require any assembly and it is ready for use at will. No time is wasted in assembly like a line pump and thus sparing time to pour more concrete (bombear más concreto). In a large construction, the boom is able to reach great heighhts and maneovere in tight spaces reaching into tight spaces, this makes concrete application easier and fast giving ample time to work and let the concrete coo.
● Reduces On Labour
The concrete pump reduces on labour as it does the work that could have been done with lots of manpower single handedly. The boom places the concrete where needed and very at a fast rate. Traditionally before the concrete pump, the concrete had to be transported using big tanks, it was a cumbersome process and it required a lot of manpower to maneuver the process. It took a long time and it was inefficient. People were then required to transport the concrete from where it was placed towards the designated area. It required a lot of manpower to transport the concrete,the pump removes all those hurdles and makes work easier, only person needed is the boom controller to direct the boom to desired application area.
● Reduces Overhead Costs
The boom pump reduces a lot of costs. Traditionally concrete applying process was quite costly due to the resources required to handle the concrete. The bigger the construction the higher the costs. Traditional methods were also very risky thus requiring a lot of contingency money in order to cater for mishaps. The boom pump cuts on costs due to less manpower and less resources. You only need to hire the boom pump and it comes with a boom controller.
● Not Affected By weather conditions
Boom pumps are not affected by adverse weather conditions such as rain and strong winds. There is no practical down time and the pump can run effortlessly under severe weather conditions. Less downtime means faster application and fast construction. When the construction is able to move fast, costs are cut and deadlines can be met.
● Reliable
A boom pump is highly reliable since it can operate well without any shortcomings. It pours concrete fast making it easier to handle the concrete while its still liquid and hasn’t started to harden. It ensures that the work done is quality because of its maneuverability placing the concrete where needed.
