How has this site helped you? This site has been up for years now I have more and more people telling me how much this site has helped them and I would like to thank you for the kind words but now is your chance to be public about it and let everyone know how this site has impacted you, your company or what type of enjoyment you have gotten from the site. Did you buy a pump from one of the sponsors? Did this site help you find an operator? If this site has helped you in any way lets hear about it.Thanks again. Todd Bullis

Todd, I have learned an enormous amount from this website. Many tips, tricks, and techniques of pumping concrete. I have also learned and studied many safety techniques. Just a quick for example, I used to use just one sponge ball when cleaning out, I read on here that if, one is good, two is better. Put in your sponge, add a couple gallons of water and put in the second sponge. I now use that technique and I have outstanding clean pipes....I can go on and on and on with over a dozen other things I have learned. The biggest thing is safety. The article on power line safety has had a big impact on how I operate. I use to fall prey to the, oh you can get closer than that attitude. I also go the extra step to ensure a safe and stable set up, using extra dunnage if needed. I and my boss researched Reed pumps on this website and the company I work for now uses Reed. I use the links for the other vendors also, I especially find it so convenient to go to ConForms pdg file and actually look at an item before we buy it.I think this website has been instrumental in making me a better, safer, and smarter pumper....thanks Todd,matt

Todd:I think as an industry what Concrete Pumping.Com has done so far, is give all of us an opportunity to both learn from each other and to make the industry more professional. Clearly concrete pumping on a global scale is experiencing rapid growth and what you have done with the site, is give guys from all over the world an open opportunity to meet and compare techniques.One simple suggestion, one small bit of experienced passed on through your site by one Operator to another, just may one day, save the life of an Operator who did not know the safest way to do a pour, a setup or even fix a machine.Our industry, in all probability well over 20,000 Operators strong; needs a place where guys who work for different Companies or are Competitors, can easily go and find out what

this site has helped me go farther in doing what i love doing - pumping concrete- i have found many potential employers and have learned SO much , just like the previous posts i could go on and on about things i have learned and things i have passed on to others. Especially helpfull was the long discussion on powerline saftey, TOO many companies slack off in that area of training and saftey discussions , this site has helped me WELL beyond what my employer was or is willing to do. ON another note im currently on a weeklong trip visiting different companies i have learned about here, i would love to visit and learn more about our sponsors , website dont do it for me LOL i want hands on experience and hopefully ill one day be able to claim i have run every brand and size out there ! in 3 words i describe this site : THIS SITE ROCKS!!! im here everyday ! haha

Todd,There is too much information here for anyone person to know. Everyone that frequents this site learns. The only way to not learn is to not read. Good job _ great site. Please keep it up. ;)
