Boom-Pumping a Retaining Wall Between Two Houses — With an Inch to Spare
Some jobs come down to millimetres. This one was filling the shuttering for a retaining wall wedged between two houses — with barely an inch to spare between our line and the side of the house.
That’s where a boom pump earns its keep. Rather than trying to get a wagon anywhere near, our driver reached the boom up over the street, in over the rooftops and down into the gap, feeding the concrete straight into the shuttering exactly where it needed to go.
Precision like that comes down to the driver and the experience he’s got on the boom pump — no mess, no fuss, the concrete placed spot on.
“One inch to spare — precision is a must on this job.”
