Concrete Placing Boom Training in Huntly
Accredited, on-site concrete placing boom training for farming, distilling, food processing and forestry operators across Aberdeenshire.
Concrete Placing Boom Training delivered where you work in Huntly
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited concrete placing boom training on-site across Huntly (AB54), about 25 road miles from our Aboyne base (~45 mins via A97). We work with farming, distilling, food processing and forestry operators operating around the Huntly industrial estate and surrounding farms — including teams at GlenDronach Distillery (nearby), Dewar's Aberlour catchment, Huntly Industrial Estate tenants, and shape each concrete placing boom course around your equipment, shift patterns and risk profile.
The course covers practical concrete placing boom operation and the regulations that apply on your site — including LOLER 1998, PUWER 1998 and CPCS/CITB guidance. Distillery and agri yards around Huntly mix telehandler bulk-load work with cask-yard MEWP access and seasonal harvest spikes — operators rotate roles, so cross-training and refresher cadence are critical. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited concrete placing boom operator certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Aberdeenshire.
Prerequisites: Aged 18+. Prior plant or pump-crew experience preferred.
Pricing guide: Course typically £700–£1,800 per candidate depending on category.

Concrete Placing Boom Training on Huntly sites — typical scenarios
These are the situations farming in Aberdeenshire bring us to cover with their concrete placing boom operators. We work each one through on your own kit, on your own site.
- Scenario 1
High-rise pour where the boom is the only practical placement method
- Scenario 2
Truck-mounted set-up on a city-centre kerb with restricted outrigger spread
- Scenario 3
Blockage clearance — the controlled-discharge procedure, not the hammer
Concrete Placing Boom Training — common audit findings we prevent
From 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 Huntly
85 bar
typical line pressure during a tower pour — failure energy is the headline risk.
