From the Coast to the Job Site: A Month of Concrete Pumping Across Maine and New Hampshire

The past month has brought a wide range of projects, taking our operators across Maine and into New Hampshire. From bridge construction and drilled shafts to seawalls, foundations, and large concrete placements, each job has brought its own requirements and opportunities to work alongside contractors and concrete suppliers throughout the region.

For Cliff, Gene, and Tyler, the schedule has included everything from major infrastructure work to multiple job sites in a single day.

Supporting Infrastructure Projects

Infrastructure work has been a significant part of the schedule.

In Bangor, Cliff worked on drilled shafts for a new overpass, with Folsom supplying the concrete. He also traveled to Lincoln, where he pumped concrete for bridge curbs with Sunset Development, again working with Folsom.

Tyler headed south to Manchester, New Hampshire, for another drilled shaft project, working with H.B. Fleming and Coleman Concrete.

Along Maine's coast, Gene supported a seawall project in Port Clyde for Wright-Ryan, with concrete supplied by Ferraiolo. He also worked at the Whiting Dam for William P. Davis, where Meadowbrook Material provided the concrete.

These projects highlight the role concrete pumping plays in work that extends well beyond traditional foundations and slabs. From transportation infrastructure to shoreline protection and dam projects, each application requires an approach suited to the job.

Large Pours and Foundation Work

Some of the month's notable projects involved substantial concrete volumes.

In Surry, Gene completed a 112-yard wall pour for Island Forms, with Mt. Waldo supplying the concrete.

More recently, Cliff worked on a 110-yard slab in Detroit for Lindsey Foundations. Accurate Concrete handled the floor placement, while Folsom supplied the concrete.

Foundation work also brought Cliff to Waldoboro and Bremen for McClintick Foundations, with Auburn supplying the concrete on both projects.

In Trenton, Gene worked with Thompson Foundations, using concrete supplied by Hughes Bros.

These jobs represent an important part of the everyday work behind construction projects throughout the state, bringing together the pumping operator, concrete supplier, and placing contractor.

Covering Ground Across Maine

One of the most interesting aspects of the past month has been the geographic reach of the work.

Gene's schedule included a multi-stop day with projects for L.E. Norwood's in Southwest Harbor, Maddock's Concrete in Hampden, and LaJoie in Chelsea. Concrete suppliers involved in those stops included Mt. Waldo, Folsom, and McGee.

He also worked with Hammond Concrete in Jonesboro, where County Concrete supplied the material, and with Lindelof Concrete in Thomaston, using concrete from Mt. Waldo.

Cliff partnered with Lindelof Concrete in Lincolnville, also with Mt. Waldo supplying the material. His travels included Portland, where Auburn supplied the concrete, and a project at the Hannaford Grocery Store in Lincoln for E.J. Perry, with Folsom providing the concrete.

Tyler's projects included work in Phippsburg for 207 Concrete, Boothbay for LaJoie Bros., and Harpswell for Bob Berry, with Auburn supplying concrete for those jobs.

Each location adds another chapter to a month of work that has taken our operators through coastal communities, inland towns, and construction sites throughout the region.

Built on Working Relationships

Behind every concrete placement is a group of people working toward the same result.

Throughout the month, we've had the opportunity to work alongside familiar contractors and suppliers while supporting a diverse mix of construction projects.

We appreciate the continued relationships with the contractors who call on us and the concrete suppliers who help keep these jobs moving.

From a 112-yard wall pour in Surry to infrastructure projects in Bangor, Lincoln, Manchester, Port Clyde, and Whiting, the past month reflects the scope of work happening throughout Maine and the surrounding region.

And with more projects on the schedule, there's plenty more happening beyond the end of the pump hose.
