The Concrete Pumping Association of Australia plays an important role in representing the concrete pumping industry to Australian governments and other stakeholders to ensure the best outcomes for the members in terms of the financial sustainability of the industry and safety of its employees.
One very important role is through representation to Standards Australia and AS 2550.15 - Concrete placing equipment. The revision of AS 2550.15 resulted in a comprehensive update of the standard requirements, moreover the inclusion of contemporary methods and techniques to ensure concrete placing equipment safe use.
The major changes in this revision are as follows:
- General document-wide terminology use and clarification
- Expanded definitions for types of pumps, e.g. line pump, boom pump, separate placing boom
- Amended definition for competent person(s)
- Alignment with international standards for inspection and maintenance requirements and removal of default six (6) yearly inspection regime with increased reliance on annual inspections
- Consequential amendments and alignment to AS 2550 series.
