Typical concrete placing boom scenarios on North-East Scotland sites
- 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
Audit findings this prevents
- 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
85 bar
typical line pressure during a tower pour — failure energy is the headline risk.
