Concrete is a substance that strengthens itself over time, with most concrete reaching 90% of its full strength within four weeks of being poured. However, it will continue to strengthen for decades after being placed.
One of the many benefits of concrete pumping is that it is fast. In fact, no type of manual labor method comes close to the pumping speeds used by concrete pumping services. The increased pouring speeds are a result of top-of-the-line technology, specialized booms and job-specific mixing trucks.
