Reliability is the most important feature in a concrete pump from the perspective of an RMC provider because any downtime has a major adverse impact on sales, according to Prashant Jha, Chief, Ready-Mixed Concrete & Modern Building Materials, Nuvoco Vistas Corp. ¢â‚¬Å“We evaluate if the pump
is designed to pump to the necessary height or quantity. Spares can still be an issue because we hire boom pumps from small-time contractors who often don¢â‚¬â„¢t stock sufficient spares.¢â‚¬Â
¢â‚¬Å“The length of the boom, the pressure and the make or brand of the boom pump are the vital parameters we evaluate prior to making a procurement decision,¢â‚¬Â says Marimuthu Krishnan, Concrete Technology Consultant. ¢â‚¬Å“Whereas the 36-42m length boom pump suffices for regular projects, we need much longer booms for tall buildings. Also, the pumping capacity must match the project¢â‚¬â„¢s concreting needs.¢â‚¬Â
