ACPA Video Shows That the Future of Concrete Construction Is Concrete Pumping

A new video produced by the American Concrete Pumping Association (ACPA) is now available for members to use as a promotional tool. The video titled “Concrete Pumping–The Future of Concrete Construction” uses high-definition video to show the economic, environmental, safety and productivity benefits of today’s concrete pumps. The ten minute presentation utilizes current projects with modern equipment to illustrate the value of concrete pumping.

Residential, commercial and civil projects are shown in the video with truckmounted concrete pumps with placing booms and stationary pumps. Several separate placing boom projects are also shown. The footage is supplemented by a script that details the many uses for concrete pumps and specific information about cost savings. The environmental benefits are illustrated with footage of concrete pumping near rivers and streams where precision placement and enclosed pipelines protect the surrounding area.

“One of the missions of the Association is to promote the method of concrete pumping for the benefit of our members and the industry,” explains Christi Collins, ACPA executive director. “This presentation is a valuable addition to our video library and should be a leave-behind for every member who is visiting one of their customers.” The video also explains the role that the ACPA plays in operator training and development of safety information for the industry.
