Guidelines - Safety & Efficiency

To ensure a safe and efficient pump pour, please supply:

• A level area of hard standing, with no overhead obstructions, on which to set up the pump
• Clear access to the pump for the truck mixers
• Cement to grout the pipeline - 1 x 25 kg bags per 10 metres of pipeline
• Somewhere to deposit excess grout
• A good pump mix concrete of S3, S4 or S5 consistence. Your ready mixed concrete supplier will advise
• A competent concreting gang to lay the concrete
• A suitable place for the operator to wash the pump out at the end of the job. At least 1/3 cubic metre of concrete will be left in the pump after the pumping operation
• A good supply of water will help the operator, though the pump does carry its own supply
