Pump type
Line and boom configurations have different reach and setup needs.
What the job involves
Pumping moves concrete to the placement point but does not replace formwork, reinforcement, concrete supply or finishing. Responsibilities and timing should be explicit.
Decisions that shape the scope
Setup
Check street, verge, overhead and pedestrian constraints.
Route
Record distance, rise, bends and clean-up location.
Coordination
Match truck arrivals to pump and crew capacity.
Local planning point
What to check in this market
