Timber framed mate. Inner 140mm block, cavity 65mm then 100mm brick/block depending on finish

Used a couple normal line pumps but never a boom. The cavity is only 65m. And other times the pump has been used it seems a bit wild. Although a boom pump with a ply funnel may be the best option. Cheers mate

Decent idea currently have a digger on site. Got decent hours on a digger. Might built some form of ply funnel to help get in as cavity is only 65mm

I'm not even bothered about the price. There's a difference between people going soft and understanding heavy machinery increases efficiency. I have enough respect for my employees to not waste ther time shoveling and borrowing such large amounts over such large distances. The distance between each end of site is over 60m. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had experience pumping it in

100% certain

TLDR: Efficient ways to concrete cavity is ready mix possible? Architect has specified a standard cavity construction from footing to DPC, this obviously needs to be filled with concrete to 225mm below FFL. After some rough calcs the concrete will be ~6 m^3. Although possible, it is unreasonable and inefficient to use a site mixer and wheel barrow. So just wondering if anyone has any experience trying ready mix and potentially pumping, I'm aware of the mix design being lean compared to standard ready mixes. Or any other techniques to speed up the process. The build has already commenced so no turning back now Thanks in advance

New build timber framed bungalow on outskirts of Scunthorpe. What a place to be alive. Already started almost up to Dpc
