- Concrete Pumping
Some pours are simply out of a truck chute’s reach — behind the house, up a slope, across a
soft yard, down into a trench, or inside a structure. A concrete line pump solves that. It
moves fresh concrete through a hose to exactly where it needs to go, so you’re not
wheelbarrowing yard after yard by hand or reshaping the whole site just to get a truck
close. Express Metered Concrete pairs line-pump placement with on-site volumetric mixing,
which means the concrete stays fresh right up to the moment it’s placed — even on the
difficult, hard-to-reach jobs that give traditional delivery trouble.
What a Line Pump Is and How It Helps
A concrete line pump pushes concrete through a series of hoses laid from the truck to the
pour. Because the hose can run over, around, and through obstacles, it reaches places a
chute never could and places concrete precisely with far less labor. Combine that with our
volumetric trucks — which mix on site and meter as they go — and you get fresh concrete
delivered exactly where you need it, with the mix dialed in for the job and billing based on
what you actually place.
Line Pump Projects We Handle
- Backyard and tight-access pours where trucks can’t get close.
- Elevated and hillside placements that a chute can’t reach.
- Shotcrete and quarry-wall support work.
- Foundations, slabs, and repairs on constrained or obstructed sites.
Why On-Site Mixing Makes Pumping Better
Pumping and volumetric mixing are a natural pair. On a difficult pour, the last thing you
want is concrete that’s been riding in a drum and is starting to stiffen before it even reaches
the hose. Because we mix on site, the concrete going into the pump is fresh, at the slump the
pour needs, and adjustable if conditions change. You also keep the metered-billing
advantage: you pay for what you place, which matters on the kind of tricky,
hard-to-estimate jobs where a line pump is usually needed in the first place.
Why Choose Express for Line-Pump Work
You get fresh, on-site-mixed concrete delivered precisely where it’s needed, the right mix
for a difficult placement, and pay-for-what-you-place billing — plus friendly,
knowledgeable drivers, calibrated trucks, and 24/7 scheduling. For contractors, that
combination turns awkward, labor-heavy pours into clean, efficient ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need a concrete line pump instead of a chute?
Any time the pour is out of the
truck’s direct reach — behind a house, up or down a slope, across ground that won’t
support a truck, into a trench, or inside a structure. If getting concrete to the spot would
otherwise mean heavy wheelbarrowing, a line pump usually pays for itself in labor and
time.
Can you pump specialty mixes and shotcrete?
Yes. Because we mix volumetrically on
site, we can supply and pump specialty designs and handle shotcrete and quarry-wall
support work.
Does pumping affect the concrete quality?
No — when the concrete is fresh and mixed to
the right slump for pumping, placement quality is excellent. On-site mixing helps here, since
the concrete going into the pump hasn’t been sitting in a drum.
How do I schedule a pump and concrete together?
We coordinate the volumetric truck
and the line pump on the same job, so you have one point of contact and fresh concrete
ready when the pump is set up.
