Concrete Pumping in Lancaster City, PA

Concrete delivery trucks often can't get close enough to pour locations. This can be due to elevation, terrain, or mud that prevents using wheelbarrows or buggies. A concrete pump receives delivered concrete in its hopper and pushes it through pipes and/or hoses to the desired location.

• Saves landscaping: Protects lawns, driveways, etc., from heavy concrete trucks.
• Reduces labor: Eliminates the need for workers to wheel concrete, saving on labor costs and reducing risk of injury.
• Efficient for elevated pours: Makes placing concrete on elevated surfaces (stairtowers, slabs) much easier and faster.

Pumping usually offers benefits, but some concrete mix designs aren't pumpable. In those cases, pouring might be the only option.

Rates are based on several factors: job site location, equipment needed, time involved, and total yardage pumped.

• Distance: Extremely long distances will increase the cost.
• Jobsite: Unique or challenging locations may require additional fees.
• Labor rates: Prevailing wage projects can impact costs.
• Scheduling: Off-hour or Saturday pours may have higher rates.
