What We Offer

Concrete Pumping

Concrete pumping in Forster helps tackle all kinds of sites—from coastal builds to hillside blocks. It’s a smart way to place concrete for house slabs, patios, driveways and more.

Concrete Pumping Made for Forster Blocks

Forster builds range from beachy knockdowns to tidy estates and steep lots on the town’s edge. Each block has its own personality—and that’s where concrete pumping comes in handy. It saves you from dragging wheelbarrows through tight spaces or down uneven ground, and it helps get the mix in exactly where it’s needed.

We’ve pumped concrete for all sorts of projects around Forster, from foundations on sloping blocks to patios tucked behind fences. Every job gets a game plan that matches the block type, access and size of the pour.

Line pumps are great when you’ve got a backyard job or need to run around obstacles. Boom pumps offer reach when you’re dealing with tall builds or long spans. Both help reduce mess, speed things up and deliver a better finish—especially when you're working with coastal conditions or strict timelines.

If you're building in Forster, concrete pumping means one less headache on site. It's cleaner, quicker and gives you a better result every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right type of concrete pump?

It depends on your site layout and project type. Line pumps use flexible hoses laid out on the ground and are perfect for smaller pours or tight access areas like backyards, footpaths or extensions. Boom pumps are mounted on trucks and have a robotic arm, allowing concrete to be poured from above.

They're ideal for large slabs, high pours, or jobs where access from the ground is tricky. A good team will recommend the right pump after assessing your site.
What happens if concrete pumping is delayed during the job?

Delays can affect the quality of the concrete if it starts to set before placement. That’s why timing is critical. If a delay is expected—whether due to traffic, supplier mix-up or site access—your concrete pumping crew should coordinate with the supplier and adjust the schedule.

On-site, they may also use additives to slow the curing process if needed. Good communication between all parties usually prevents major problems.
Does concrete pumping reduce labour costs?

Yes, it often does. With concrete pumping, there's no need for labourers to haul wheelbarrows of mix across uneven ground or around obstacles. That cuts down on man-hours, especially on larger pours. It also speeds up placement, which keeps timelines on track.

Over the course of a project, this efficiency can translate into real savings—both in time and in wages.
What surfaces or conditions are best suited for concrete pumping?

Concrete pumping works well in almost all site conditions. It's particularly useful on sloped or uneven terrain, areas with limited truck access, or sites that already have landscaping or finished surfaces in place. It also performs well in tight urban blocks or areas where trucks can’t reverse up close to the pour site.

By using hoses or booms, pumping avoids damaging surfaces and gets the mix right where it needs to go.
