EXCESS LIABILITY COVERAGE: HOW MUCH DO PUMPERS NEED?

In today’s climate of heightened legal liability, construction-related nuclear verdicts (judgments exceeding $10 million) are becoming increasingly common. For concrete pumping companies, these massive payouts present a serious risk. A single equipment failure, truck accident or onsite mishap could unleash a flood of lawsuits, cutting into productivity, profits and future contract prospects. As the stakes grow higher, ensuring you have the right amount of liability insurance is no longer optional — it’s a strategic safeguard for your company’s survival.

ACPA ANNOUNCES SAFETY TRAINING FOR CONTRACTORS

During World of Concrete 2025, the concrete industry’s largest annual gathering, the American Concrete Pumping Association (ACPA) announced the launch of the Coworker Safety Training program. Designed for contractors who work with and around concrete pumps, the program aims to bolster safety and education for more than 56,000 concrete contractors across the U.S.

ACPA Honors the 2024 Safe Operator of the Year

Safety is one of ACPA’s highest priorities. Recognizing operators who exhibit exemplary practices is one way to foster a culture of safety at every level in the industry. Nominations for ACPA’s Safe Operator of the Year were submitted by member companies and included at least one recommendation from a supervisor, coworker or customer. As a condition of award consideration, all nominees held valid ACPA operator certifications. An independent safety consultant selected the winner according to the criteria of safety record, workforce development and a spirit of furthering the industry.

Optimizing Mix Design: Part 1

The introduction of ACI Code 323 on low-carbon concrete marks a pivotal shift in pushing sustainability within the concrete industry. Its primary objective is clear — reduce global warming potential (GWP) by revisiting the fundamentals of concrete mix design, material sourcing and production techniques. By incorporating provisions for environmental product declarations (EPDs), ACI Code 323 facilitates greater transparency and accountability for lifecycle environmental impacts. The code applies to sizable projects such as buildings over 50,000 square feet and pavements or other structures exceeding 7,500 cubic yards.
