Concrete Pumping uses specialized equipment to place concrete efficiently in areas a truck can’t reach. It saves time, reduces labour, improves safety, and create a cleaner worksite – especially for tight access, large pours, and complex placements. 

We serve locations across the lower mainland. Contact us for availability in your area.

We recommend booking as early as possible to guarantee availability — especially during peak construction months. Same-day or short-notice may be possible depending on the schedule.

Provide us with your project location, volume, mix type, timeframe, and any access details. We’ll send a clear, accurate quote with no surprises.

Line Pumps use flexible hoses on the ground to place concrete. They are more affordable for small- to medium-size projects and offer excellent reach by running hoses exactly where you need them.

They’re ideal for:
– Residential pours (driveways, patios, small slabs)
– Tight access or long-distance pumping
– Jobs where a boom truck can’t set up. 

Boom Pumps use a truck-mounted, hydraulic arm (boom) to place concrete from above.

They’re best for:
– Large pours and high production jobs
– Multi-story buildings, foundations, and commercial sites
– Projects needing fast placement or elevated reach
Boom pumps move concrete faster and cover large areas quickly, but require more setup space and may cost more due to size and capability.

Definitely. We offer placing and finishing tool rentals for weekend warriors and small project builders. Get professional tools without committing to a big purchase.

No job is too small!

Yes. We work on everything from patios and driveways to home foundations and slab pours. No project is too small — our team supports contractors, builders, and homeowners.

                                                                                    

The space required depends on the type of pump you’re using:
– Line Pump: Needs enough room for the truck to park and lay out hoses to reach your pour area.
– Boom Pump: Requires a larger setup area for the truck and boom to safely extend and operate.

Our team will assess your site and help ensure there’s adequate space for safe and efficient operation.

Typical Line Pump Jobs:

  • Basement slabs / Radiant heat floors / self leveling concrete
  • Driveways & sidewalks (tight access)
  • Patios & courtyards
  • Footings & strip foundations
  • Underpinning / benching
  • Stairs & small retaining walls
  • Townhouse & low-rise work
  • Mechanical pads
  • Backyard or no-access pours
  • Hillside homes
  • Interior slabs / renovations

Best for: tight access, long hose runs, and smaller to mid-size pours where a boom pump is overkill.

Contractors use a boom bump when:

  • Large volumes of concrete are being placed continuously
  • Long reach is needed vertically or horizontally (multi-storey, wide slabs)
  • High elevation pours are required (upper floors, tall walls)
  • Speed and production are critical on big pours
  • Open sites with truck access allow boom setup
  • Wide placement area benefits from fast repositioning
  • Minimal hose handling is preferred on large crews

Typical boom pump jobs:
– High-rise and mid-rise buildings
– Parkades and large commercial slabs
– Warehouse floors
– Large foundations and mat slabs
– Bridges and major infrastructure
– Industrial and heavy civil work

In short, boom pumps are used for big, fast, high-reach pours where a line pump would be too slow or limited. Boom pumps require a larger setup area for the truck and boom to safely extend and operate.

Our team will assess your site and help ensure there’s adequate space for safe and efficient operation.
