Choosin the ;est Metho# The frst thing to look at is the type o job, its physicalsize, the total amount o concrete to be placed, andthe time schedule. Studying the job details urther willtell how much o the work is below, at, or above ground
level. This aids in choosing the concrete handlingequipment necessary or placing concrete at therequired levels.oncrete must be moved rom the mi!er to the point oplacement as rapidly as possible without segregation
or loss o ingredients. The transporting and handlingequipment must have the capacity to move su"cientconcrete so that cold joints are eliminated.

or metal lined. They must not slope greaterthan ) vertical

The loss o slump caused by pressure thatorces mi! water into the aggregates as themi! travels rom pump hopper to discharge
at the end o the pipeline must be minimal$not greater than 1/ mm * in0.
The air content generally should not bereduced by more than * percentage points
during pumping. &ir loss greater than thismay be caused by a boom confguration thatallows the concrete to all e!cessively. 2nview o this, Specifcations or both slump
and air content should be met at the

4elt conveyors are very useul or worknear ground level. Since placing concretebelow ground is requently a matter o
horizontal movement assisted by gravity,lightweight portable conveyors can be usedor high output at relatively low cost.
