Do you need to set up a pump in a lane closure and feel your only option is a trailer pump?  

Next time order our 17M Special.  The “17 Special” needs only an 11’-8” wide footprint with the outriggers fully extended, making it the perfect piece of equipment when pouring from a lane closure or other tight access spot.

Are you placing concrete inside a building with limited height access?

Conco has a series of specialty pumps that can be unfolded in low clearance sites such as inside a building or tunnel or underneath an overpass. The “Z” Boom and “H” Boom technology found on many of our pumps requires less clearance than older “roll and fold” models. Depending on the application, our pumps have been deployed in areas with vertical clearance as low as 13 feet!

Do you need that extra long reach?

Conco operates pumps with boom up to 58 meters (175 feet). We have also routinely pumped concrete long distances (over 3000 feet) under challenging conditions. When you have a difficult material placement, consult with your Conco Sales Professional to help you come up with a cost-effective, safe solution.



Seattle Mat Pour at The Martin

Conco’s regional office in Washington completed a 2,880 cubic yard mat pour on April 7th at The Martin–a 24-story luxury apartment tower located in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood–for general contractor Exxel Pacific.

Located downtown adjacent to Seattle’s Monorail, access and time constraints were a concern. Three pumps–36 meter, 47 meter & 58meter–were used to complete the mat pour, together pumping 450 cubic yards per hour at peak times. Cadman, Inc. delivered the ready-mix with trucks arriving approximately every 80 seconds to fill the mat which measures 7′-6″ at the deepest point.

With 2,880 cubic yards and 275 tons of rebar, The Martin stands as affirmation of Conco’s abilities and reputation.

Conco Pumps 5,700 cubic yards for Downtown San Francisco Mat Pour

On March 3 & 4, 2012, Conco successfully pumped 5,700 yards of concrete for the 1401 Market Street Project in Downtown San Francisco. Located on the edge of the Civic Center and Financial District, this project comprises a 35-story tower along with buildings of 9, 12, and 19 stories. The project will contain 720 residential units along with ground level retail and two levels of above ground parking.

The concrete was supplied for the project’s first mat foundation pour. Jobsite mandates required the concrete pour to begin after sunset on Saturday evening and finish Sunday morning. Gary Brandt, Vice President of Marketing with Conco, worked with the owner, the general contractor, the concrete contractor and the ready-mix supplier to develop a game plan and secure the necessary permits needed to pull off this logistical challenge.

Conco provided three 58-meter Schwing pumps, one 52 meter Schwing, one 47 meter Putzmeister and a 36 meter Schwing. The limited jobsite access required a pump positioned down in the hole to be supplied by one of the 58 meter pumps. Throughout the pour, concrete was being pumped and placed at the rate of 600 yards per hour allowing the pour to be finished in 10 hours. The pour was completed without any lost loads, injuries or complaints from the general public making it a success for all parties involved.
