Different types of Concrete Pump Available in Canary Wharf
Ground Line Concrete Pumps for Hire
Ground line pumps are for pumping concrete across the ground to places in Canary Wharf that have restricted access. These pipes can be directed through a house, up or down stairs, around obstacles or through small gaps. They are capable of pumping 150 metres along the ground, at a rate of up to 120m3 per hour.
Concrete Boom Pumps for Hire
Boom pumps are for placing concrete at height or pumping over large obstacles to areas that a ground line can not access. As boom pumps feature robotic arms, they are ideal for reaching upper levels of Canary Wharf buildings so no tactical planning is needed to find ways of getting to difficult to reach areas.
Concrete Boom Pumping
Concrete boom pumps allow us to pump concrete up and over large objects and place concrete at height. They can be relocated quickly, to pump concrete into several different Canary Wharf locations in a small amount of time. This is ideal for pouring concrete pilings or reinforced pillars.
Concrete Line Pumping
Line pumped concrete is an excellent solution for getting your ready mix concrete to those difficult to access areas in Canary Wharf. Our ground line pumps are capable of pumping up to 150 metres along the ground, enabling us to reach almost any destination at a rate of up to 120m³ per hour.
On Site Concrete Mix
Our on-site concrete mixing lorries can produce varying concrete strengths from one load. The composition can be quickly changed to suit different project or Canary Wharf weather conditions. Mix-on-site concrete works for large foundations, concrete floors, driveways, shed bases and all other projects.
Concrete Floor Screed
Screed is a thin layer of specialist concrete that can be applied to flooring to create a smooth finish. We use quality aggregates to mix concrete floor screeds ideal for any type of application. We can add polypropylene fibres to strengthen bonding, or adjust liquid screed consistency and finish.
Ready Mixed Concrete
Our 'Ready Mix Concrete' uses our state of the art volumetric concrete pumping lorries to provide a mix-on-site service in Canary Wharf. Our lorry counter systems mean you only ever pay for what you use. Nothing is mixed from the separate compartments until the lorry arrives on site, so you never have to pay for cement you didn't want.
Volumetric Concrete
Volumetric mixing is the ideal form of concrete delivery, as only the exact amount of concrete needed is mixed. This means there is no wastage, it's environmentally friendly, plus much more efficient and convenient. Volumetric mixing minimises cost and maximises flexibility for all concreting projects.
Types of Concrete Pump Available in Canary Wharf
The right pump depends on where the concrete needs to go and what stands between the lorry and the pour. Distance, height, access width and the volume you need placing all feed into it. Below are the options we operate across Canary Wharf. If you are not sure which suits your site, call 020 3193 8845 and describe the access to us. We will tell you what we would send.
Ground Line Concrete Pumps
A ground line pump moves concrete along the ground through a series of steel and rubber pipes, which makes it the answer for anywhere a lorry cannot reach directly. The pipes can be routed through a house, around a building, up or down stairs, and through gaps as narrow as a standard doorway. They will pump up to [150] metres horizontally and [50] metres vertically at a rate of up to [120] m3 per hour. For back garden pours, basements and terraced properties across Canary Wharf, this is usually the pump we recommend.
Concrete Boom Pumps
A boom pump places concrete from above using a hydraulic arm mounted on the lorry, so it can reach over walls, fences, hedges and existing buildings without any pipework being laid by hand. Because the boom is positioned by the operator from a control unit, setup is fast, and there is no tactical planning needed to find a route through the site. Boom pumps suit upper floor pours, large slabs where speed matters, and any site where laying line would be impractical or take longer than the pour itself.
Static & Small Line Pumps
Where access is genuinely tight, a smaller line pump can be positioned close to the pour and fed separately. These units take up less room on site, need a smaller standing area for the lorry, and are well suited to smaller domestic volumes in Canary Wharf where a full sized pump would be more than the job needs. If your access is under two metres or the pour is only a few cubic metres, mention it when you call and we will match the equipment to it.
Concrete Lorry With Pump Attached
Some of our lorries carry their own pump, which means one vehicle delivers the concrete and places it. There is no second contractor to book, no waiting for a pump to arrive separately, and no risk of the two turning up at different times. For most domestic and small commercial jobs around Canary Wharf, this is the simplest and most cost effective way to get concrete into an awkward spot.
Ready Mix Concrete & Pump Hire Together
Where the programme will not tolerate a standard drying period, a fast-drying mix uses modified binders to reach a coverable moisture content in a fraction of the time. On a typical domestic depth, this can mean floor coverings going down in days rather than weeks. It costs more per cubic metre than a standard mix, so it is worth weighing against the cost of the delay it removes. Ask us for a comparison when you enquire.
How Does Concrete Pumping Work in Canary Wharf?
Concrete pumping is a way of moving wet concrete from the lorry to exactly where it needs to go, using pressure rather than barrows and labour. Instead of tipping the load and moving it by hand, the concrete is fed into a hopper on the lorry and pushed through pipes or a boom arm directly into the pour.
The mechanism is simple. Concrete drops into the hopper, where twin hydraulic pistons work alternately. As one draws concrete in, the other pushes its load into the delivery line. A valve switches between them, so the flow to the pour is continuous rather than pulsed. It is the same principle whether the concrete is travelling along the ground through line or up and over an obstacle on a boom.
What Happens on the Day
- We arrive, assess the standing position for the lorry and agree the route or boom position with you
- The line is assembled, or the boom unfolded and positioned. Setup on a straightforward site is typically 20 to 30 minutes
- The system is primed, usually with a cement grout, so the concrete moves cleanly through dry pipework
- Concrete is pumped into place at up to [120] m3 per hour. You handle levelling and finishing as it arrives
- The line and hopper are washed out at the end, and we take the washings away with us
Why Pump Rather Than Barrow?
A team barrowing concrete moves perhaps two to three cubic metres an hour across a decent distance, and it gets slower as the run gets longer. A pump does not. It also removes the risk of the concrete starting to go off before the pour is finished, which is the real danger on a large slab moved by hand. Add in no wheelbarrow ruts across a finished garden and no spillage down a side passage, and pumping is usually cheaper overall by the time labour and remediation are accounted for.
Concrete Pump Access in Canary Wharf: What We Need From You
Most delays on a pumping job come down to something on site that could have been sorted the day before. A quick check against the list below before you book will save you standing time on the day.
For the Lorry
- A firm, level standing position within reach of the pour. Tarmac or hardstanding is ideal, soft ground may need boarding
- Clear width for the vehicle to get in and turn. Tell us the narrowest point on the approach
- No overhead cables, low branches or height restrictions on the route in. This matters most for boom pumps, which need clear airspace above the lorry
- Parking suspended or coned off in advance if the standing position is on a public road in Canary Wharf
For the Pour
- Formwork, reinforcement and membranes complete and signed off before we arrive
- The route for line pipework kept clear, including through the property if that is the plan
- Enough people on site to place, level and finish concrete arriving at up to [120] m3 per hour. Pumping is fast, and the pump will outpace two people
- A washout point agreed with us, or confirmation that we are taking the washings away
Things Worth Telling Us When You Book
- Distance from where the lorry can stand to the pour, in metres
- Any change in level, including stairs or a drop into a basement
- Width of the tightest gap the pipework has to pass through
- Whether there is a wall, fence or building the concrete has to clear
- Whether the pour is at ground level or above
The more of this we know beforehand, the more likely it is that what we send is right first time.
