ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PUMPED CONCRETE Presented By: Concrete Pumping Melbourne
REQUIREMENTS OF PUMPED CONCRETE • A good pumpable concrete should have a recommended slump value of 50mm to 150mm. • An adequate water-cement ratio is required. If the water is too high, aggregates of concrete will be blocked in the pipe. • The concrete should be at equilibrium, not too wet or too dry. • Make sure the pumped concrete is not adhesive. • Air entrainment admixture is proven to be helpful for the concrete transmission
TYPES OF CONCRETE PUMPS • Direct-Acting Pumps • Squeeze Concrete Pumps • Truck-mounted Concrete Pump • Stationary Concrete Pump
REASONS FOR BLOCKAGE IN PUMPABLE CONCRETE • Every machine has proper instructions that are to be followed. This means that if you are operating a concrete pump and you don’t follow instructions properly you will have a blockage. • The other cause of the blockage in the pump is friction that is caused by the high velocity at which aggregates are pumped on the pipe walls. • Another problem that can cause blockage is when water is forced out of the mix inside the pipe. • This water brings about the accumulation of huge aggregate particles in the pipe which blocks the entire process.
• Choosing the right pump for your project is not that difficult. Before choosing, look at its length, the diameter of the pipe, how many bends and how flexible is the length of the hose. UP TO YOU
