Safety is one of American Concrete Pumping Association’s (ACPA’s) highest priorities, and our goal is to foster a culture of safety at every level in the concrete pumping industry. Recognizing the finest examples of safety is one way we uphold our commitment to this mission. This year, we’re proud to name Bobby Blankenship as ACPA’s 2018 Safe Operator of the Year.

Current CPAC members will benefit from ACPA’s strong safety, training and concrete pump operator certification program.
ACPA is excited about our recent merger with the Concrete Pumping Association of Canada (CPAC). We’ve had a long history of Canadian membership, and we’re proud of our North American presence. Now, our Canadian members have a dedicated forum representing their needs. Working together, we’ll create a synergy that will advance the greater concrete pumping community. As we advocate for common interests and share resources on both sides of the border, we see a bright future for concrete pumping in North America.
Following this past October’s ACPA strategic planning session held in conjunction with the fall board meeting, attendees competed in the first ever “ACPA Pumper 500” go-kart race at K1 Racing Center in Torrance, California.
Over 50 racers competed for the best time overall, as well participated as a team competition sponsored by NBIS Insurance; DY Concrete Pumps; Putzmeister America; Longhorn Line Pumps and the ACPA. Entry fees for the team-building event were contributed to the association’s political action fund, ACPA PumpPAC, raising over $3,000.
