MBS Concrete Pumping
Concrete Pumping: Save money, time and manpower
MBS Concrete Pumping offer the most effective way of delivering concrete to the precise location you require, which is particularly useful where site access is challenging. With concrete pumping you can save money and significant man hours.
The days of the multiple wheel barrow trips should be well behind you, especially if you have a large order. The concrete passes along our vehicle’s chute into the hopper, and then pumped through pipes and poured into the places you require.
Our ground line hydraulic pump technology enables us to distribute concrete irrespective of the obstacles between our vehicles and the required pour site. So even if it that happens to be a long way from the road, behind or between buildings or where surfaces are uneven (making it difficult to wheel that old barrow!) we can solve those issues quickly and efficiently.

Ground pumps work via a number of connected pipes and hoses which can be manoeuvred around almost any obstacle, over long distances and through tight spaces. Ground line pumps also enable us to distribute larger quantities of concrete that would otherwise take much long time to deliver.
Our ground line pump can reach up to 150 metres and around most obstacles and buildings.

How does a ground line concrete pump work?
Our pump discharges concrete into the hopper from our mixer vehicle. An agitator mix the cement in the hopper, making it ready to flow into the piston system. It is then pumped through a series of pipes and hoses to the required location. The pipes are laid carefully along the ground, ensuring that the mix reaches its destinations with no spills.
What are the benefits?
• The ground line pump allows us to run up to 150 metres and around obstacles and buildings
• The mix can be quickly and easily moved to the pour site(s)
• The pumps can be truck mounted or stationary according on your needs
• The perfect solution when the mixer can’t get close to the required pour site
• Saves manpower, particularly if you are short of labour on site
• Allows access for concrete delivery even across ground too uneven for wheelbarrows
• Speeds up delivery if work is running behind schedule
• Avoids additional waiting times (ground lines are delivered half an hour before the concrete vehicle arrives)
Modern concrete batch plants like the one in which MBS recently invested (offering both Wet mix and Dry mix) use high tech computer-aided controls to ensure that we can supply fast and accurate measurement of input constituents or ingredients.
Concrete performance is highly dependent on the accurate measurement of water, so systems often use digital scales for cementitious materials and aggregates, and moisture probes to measure aggregate water content as it enters the aggregate batcher to automatically compensate for the mix design water/cement ratio target.
Many producers find moisture probes work well only in sand, and with marginal results on larger sized aggregate. Wet mix concrete plants combine some or all of the above ingredients (including water) at a central location into a concrete mixer. So the concrete is mixed at a single point, and then simply agitated on the way to the job site to prevent setting (using agitators or ready mix trucks).
