Maine's Pumping Company

Sylas took the City Pump to Lincolnville, Waldoboro and Lewiston this week for three line pumping jobs. He worked with Maine-ly Concrete in Lincolnville and headed to Waldoboro on Thursday for Andrew Donaldson. The week also included a stop in Lewiston for Core Value Restoration. The advantage of a truck-mounted line pump comes down to two questions contractors face when planning a pour. Where can the truck set up, and how do we get the concrete from there to the forms? The C

From the Midcoast through Downeast and farther north, here’s a closer look at several recent stops with Tyler. A few of Tyler’s jobs last week took him through the Midcoast, Downeast and northern Maine, with work for Feener Foundations, L.E. Norwood’s and Freitas Concrete. These stops offer a look at part of his schedule and the geographic reach of Maine-ly Concrete Pumping’s day-to-day work. Working across those regions means travel is part of the planning, along with the re

A seawall in Port Clyde, a 110-yard slab in Detroit, drilled shafts in Manchester, and a footing of approximately 120 yards in Saco—October’s updates covered a range of concrete work across Maine and into New Hampshire. Behind each post were the operators, contractors, and concrete suppliers involved in that day’s placement. As October draws to a close, here’s a look back at some of the projects and people featured throughout the month. Along the Coast: Port Clyde and Whiting

Tuesday morning, October 27, brought another project in Phippsburg, Maine, as Tyler joined McClintick Foundations for a concrete pour. Auburn Concrete supplied the mix for the morning's work. Coordination Behind the Concrete Pour Concrete placement involves several moving parts, beginning with the contractor's preparation and continuing through concrete delivery and placement. Coordinating these stages is important to maintaining a steady workflow throughout the pour. With Mc

The past month has brought a wide range of projects, taking our operators across Maine and into New Hampshire. From bridge construction and drilled shafts to seawalls, foundations, and large concrete placements, each job has brought its own requirements and opportunities to work alongside contractors and concrete suppliers throughout the region. For Cliff, Gene, and Tyler, the schedule has included everything from major infrastructure work to multiple job sites in a single da

Along Maine's working waterfront, construction projects often carry significance beyond the work taking place on any given day. In Port Clyde, a community with deep maritime roots, the ongoing waterfront redevelopment represents an important chapter in rebuilding an area that has served residents, fishermen, and visitors for generations. Gene was on site in Port Clyde, handling concrete pumping for Wright-Ryan during seawall construction. Ferraiolo supplied the concrete for t

Mainely Concrete Pumping was in Boothbay with LaJoie Bros, with Tyler handling the pumping for the project. Auburn provided the concrete, bringing together the materials and equipment needed to keep the placement moving efficiently. Having the pump positioned where it is needed helps move concrete from the truck directly to the placement area while giving the contractor better control throughout the pour. Jobs like this are a good example of the coordination that goes into co

Looking back at Scott’s work at a Southern Maine substation, we’re reminded of the planning and coordination that go into a job like this. Active utility sites call for everyone on the job to stay aware of their surroundings and work together through each stage. CMP and the contractor made safety the top priority. Their attention to the people on site and the work being done set the tone for the project, and Scott was glad to be part of that effort. It’s always good to see a

Cliff was down in Portland Friday morning, getting another concrete pumping job underway for Mainely Concrete Pumping. From busy city projects to rural jobs across Maine, every location brings a different set of challenges. Having the right equipment and an experienced operator makes it possible to get concrete where it needs to go safely, efficiently, and with less disruption around the jobsite. Another Friday morning on the move and another Maine project getting the concret
