Concrete Placing Boom Training on Westhill sites — typical scenarios
These are the situations oil & gas service companies 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 Westhill
85 bar
typical line pressure during a tower pour — failure energy is the headline risk.
