Logan Plant Training delivers accredited concrete placing boom training on-site across Fraserburgh (AB43), about 60 road miles from our Aboyne base (~1 hr 20 via A90 / A98). We work with fishing, processing, agriculture and distribution operators operating around Fraserburgh Harbour and South Harbour industrial estate — including teams at Fraserburgh Harbour, Lunar Freezing / processors, South Harbour Industrial Estate, and shape each concrete placing boom course around your equipment, shift patterns and risk profile.

On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited concrete placing boom operator certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Buchan, Aberdeenshire.

Concrete Placing Boom Training — common audit findings we prevent
From Buchan, 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 Fraserburgh
85 bar
typical line pressure during a tower pour — failure energy is the headline risk.
