Concrete Pumping in Beswick

Beswick, Manchester
Etihad hot tub base

Concrete Pumping at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City

Not a bad address for a day’s work — Barrow Mix headed to the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City, to supply and pump the concrete for a large hot tub base. We mixed the concrete fresh on site with our volumetric wagon and placed it with a line pump, feeding it neatly into the fenced work area set back from where the wagon could park.

Pumping is the answer whenever the concrete has to travel over, around or past obstacles a truck chute simply can’t reach — tight access, work areas set back from the road, or awkward corners of a busy site. Because we mix volumetrically, every drop is batched fresh to spec on site: no waiting on a pre-mixed load, and no waste.

From house floors and garden bases to prestige jobs at some of Manchester’s best-known landmarks, no job is too big or too small for Barrow Mix.

Concrete pumping — FAQs

Can you pump concrete where a wagon can’t reach?

Yes — that’s exactly what a concrete pump is for. A line pump pushes the concrete through a hose so we can place it over, around or past obstacles a truck chute can’t reach: tight access, work areas set back from the road, upper floors or awkward corners of a busy site. We mix volumetrically, so the concrete is batched fresh to spec and pumped straight to where it’s needed.

What’s the difference between a line pump and a boom pump?

A line pump feeds concrete through hoses laid out along the ground — ideal for ground-level work, tight access and smaller-to-medium pours. A boom pump uses a hydraulic arm to reach up and over obstacles for high-rise or long-reach jobs. We can advise which suits your site. See our concrete pumping page.

Do you do concrete pumping across Manchester?

Yes — we supply and pump concrete right across Manchester, Cheshire and the North West, for commercial and domestic jobs alike: bases, foundations, floors, hard-standing and more, at any volume. See our concrete pumping service.

Can you supply and pump concrete for a hot tub or pool base?

Yes — a solid, level concrete base is exactly what a hot tub or pool needs to sit on, and pumping lets us place it neatly even in gardens and courtyards a wagon can’t get close to. We mix fresh on site to the right strength and pump it straight into the prepared area.
