Concrete pumping is a critical process in construction, and the reliability of the equipment used can significantly impact the efficiency and safety of the operation.
What often defines you as a pump company is the equipment that you own and operate. When you run across another pumper, the questions that are often asked first are where you are located and how many pumps you run. To pump concrete requires concrete pumps, which are the biggest capital expense for a pump company. Having the right amount of equipment in the right place is essential if you want to maximize profitability. Too little of the size needed and you risk the potential of unsatisfied customers going elsewhere to find the equipment they need. Too many pumps parked against the fence can mean your capital and operational costs can go through the roof.
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.
