Gull Wing Bridge project
When Main Contractor Farrans Construction needed to pour over 600m3 of concrete into the Cofferdam Base, for Pier 5 on the Gull Wing Bridge project at Lowestoft, Suffolk, there was only one supplier to call. Camfaud supplied 2 identical 65m mobile concrete pumps to ensure full coverage of the pour from both pump locations. Another well planned and perfectly executed pour from the UK’s leading mobile pump supplier.

Midland Metro Alliance – Broad Street track bed
We have recently completed the longest continuous concrete pour on the Midlands Metro, to date. On the hottest day of the year, we placed approximately 360 cubic metres of fibre reinforced concrete into a 300 linear metres run of track bed along Broad Street.
Camfaud supplied two working, high pressure, concrete pumps, one standby pump and three pump operators. We also supplied a crew of linesmen to strip back, clean and stack the high pressure delivery pipes. The pumps were set up at each end of the job, working from the centre out.
This pumping plan was devised to ensure that the pour was completed in a timely fashion and, with hot weather forecast, there was no danger of having the concrete go off in the pumps or pipeline, and no problem with cold joints.
