Concrete Pumping

While concrete is regularly used at building sites across the country, physically moving it around can be difficult.

Traditionally, people used wheelbarrows to get mixes from A to B, but this method is labour-intensive and cumbersome.

The most efficient way to move concrete is concrete pumping.

At GP Concrete & Plant Hire, we offer a leading concrete pumping service in Sevenoaks, Bromley, Dartford and across Kent, helping move concrete to difficult-to-reach areas and parts of your site that can be hard to access.

There are two main types of concrete pumps:

• Boom pumps – A hydraulic armed pump that can be lifted across building sites, over buildings and around obstacles to pour the mix from above via an extendable boom arm.
• Line pump – A ground line pump is made up of a series of interconnected pipes that are spread across the floor of a site until it reaches the area where the concrete mix is required. These pumps can be moved around obstacles, through buildings and even up and down stairs if required.

As no two projects are the same, the type of pump that is most suitable for you will depend on the dimensions of the site you’re working on and the specifics of the job at hand. No matter what the case, you can rest assured that we can provide you with concrete pumping options that can make the whole process easier.
