Prior to commencing each contract, our operators make contact with the site manager to receive a site induction and then set up their concrete pump, as instructed.
Once the pump is set up, the operator sprays a thin and uniform coat of mould oil around the hopper to ensure that, once the pour is over, the pump can be cleaned out efficiently.
It is important that the pump is thoroughly cleaned after each job as, if concrete were to be allowed to build up in the hopper, it could spall off during a subsequent pour and cause a blockage in the pipeline. Throughout the company, we only use a solvent-free, readily biodegradable mould oil.
