What is involved in setting up a concrete pump before a pour?
Setup starts with assessing ground bearing capacity, positioning and fully extending outriggers, leveling the unit, and checking overhead and boom-swing clearances. Pipeline and hoses are inspected for wear and correctly coupled before any concrete is loaded into the hopper. The crew agrees communication signals and confirms the barricaded work area beneath the boom. Sparkline Group technicians assist with initial setup on delivery and can provide a briefing to the site crew for repeat pours on the same project.
