Logan Plant Training delivers accredited concrete placing boom training on-site across Inverurie (AB51), about 28 road miles from our Aboyne base (~45 mins via A944 / A96). We work with manufacturing, distribution, construction and agricultural operators operating around Thainstone and Inverurie's industrial estates — including teams at Thainstone Mart (ANM Group), Burnside Industrial Estate tenants, Blackhall 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 Aberdeenshire.

Concrete Placing Boom Training on Inverurie sites — typical scenarios
These are the situations manufacturing 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 Inverurie
85 bar
typical line pressure during a tower pour — failure energy is the headline risk.
