120m³ of C35 foundations for a Bolton apartment block
We supplied 120 cubic metres of C35 structural concrete for the foundations of a new apartment development in Bolton — a big, continuous pour where keeping the concrete flowing was everything.
Our volumetric fleet kept a steady supply going so the groundworkers never stood waiting on a wagon, and every cubic metre was mixed fresh to the specified C35 grade on site. A large commercial pour, delivered to programme.
Bolton sees a steady run of new-build and apartment schemes, and a big footings pour like this — 120m³ of C35 in a day — needs volume with no hold-up. Mixing on site with our volumetric wagons and pumping straight into the trenches keeps a pour that size moving from the first load to the last.

Pumped concrete floors for a Bolton house
On another Bolton job we pumped the concrete floors for a new house — using our pump to place the mix quickly and evenly across each floor, reaching areas a wagon chute never could.
volumetric mixed fresh on site to the specified grade and pumped straight in, so the floors went down fast and dead level.
On Bolton’s terraced and mid-plot houses there’s often no clean route to barrow concrete through the property for the floors. Pumping solves it — we feed the mix room to room from the wagon out front, so the floors go down level and quick with none of the graft.

The ground beneath Bolton
Bolton’s bedrock is Pennine Coal Measures across the town centre and south, passing up onto Millstone Grit toward the moorland fringe to the north, with glacial till and Croal-valley alluvium on top. It has a long colliery history and much of the borough falls within the Development High Risk Area.

An out-of-hours Sunday pour in Bolton
One recent Bolton job was booked early on a Sunday, out of hours — on purpose, so two volumetric wagons and the pump could get in and place a large base without holding up the traffic. Early doors on a Sunday, the roads are quiet and the job runs clean.
