What is Pumped Concrete?

The design of a suitable concrete mix is essential so that the concrete is pumpable without segregation and blocking of the pipes.

The critical factors influencing the pumpability of the concrete are:

  • Low water content to prevent segregation and bleeding
  • Optimised mix design with efficient use of fines and cements
  • Cement and aggregate type.
  • Selection of correct consistence for application
