Concrete Pumping in Rochdale

Rochdale, Greater Manchester
Cavity wall & balcony slab

A job only the boom pump could reach: a cavity wall and balcony slab in Rochdale

Only the boom pump could do this job. A house in Rochdale needed concrete for a cavity wall and a concrete slab for a balcony, and the boom was the only way to reach them.

We set the boom pump up on the road outside, reached over the house and placed the concrete exactly where it was needed. There was no way to get it there by wagon or barrow.

Jobs like this come down to experience, and some of our team have been with Barrow Mix for more than 25 years. Well done, lads.

Boom pumping — FAQs

When do you need a boom pump?

When the concrete has to go up or over something, like a balcony slab, a wall or a site behind a house. Our boom pump reaches up to 35m vertically, so it can place concrete where a wagon or a line pump can’t.

Can you pump concrete for a balcony slab?

Yes. On this Rochdale job the boom pump placed the concrete for a balcony slab and a cavity wall from the road outside, with no wagon or barrow access needed.

Do you cover Rochdale?

Yes, we deliver and pump concrete across Rochdale and Greater Manchester. See our Rochdale ready-mix concrete page for more.
