Concrete Placing Boom Training — common audit findings we prevent
From Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire sites we've trained on, these are the concrete placing boom findings that come up repeatedly in HSE inspections and principal-contractor audits.
- Outriggers part-deployed because the kerb's in the way — capacity now unknown
- Hose-handler standing in the discharge cone during a stoppage
- Pour stopped without flushing the line — next start is a pressure event
Why this matters in Banchory
85 bar
typical line pressure during a tower pour — failure energy is the headline risk.
