Foundations First Northwest provides expert concrete pumping services for commercial and residential projects throughout Portland, Lake Oswego, Wilsonville, and surrounding areas. Our specialized concrete pumping equipment delivers precise concrete placement for foundation repairs, new construction, and structural reinforcement projects.

With over 40 years of combined experience, we handle projects requiring boom concrete pump trucks, trailer-mounted pumps, and shotcrete application. Whether you need concrete pumping for foundation slabs, retaining walls, basement repairs, or hard-to-reach areas, our professional team ensures efficient, high-quality concrete placement every time.

Concrete pumping uses specialized equipment to transfer liquid concrete from delivery trucks to precise locations on your property. This method provides superior results compared to manual concrete placement, especially for foundation repair projects, structural work, and areas with limited access.

Our concrete pumping services utilize two main equipment types:

1. Boom Concrete Pump Trucks: These truck-mounted pumps feature hydraulic booms that extend and articulate to reach difficult areas. Boom pumps excel at delivering concrete to elevated locations, over obstacles, or into confined spaces that would be impossible to access with traditional methods.
2. Trailer-Mounted Pumps: Portable trailer-mounted concrete pumps offer flexibility for smaller projects or sites with space constraints. These pumps provide reliable concrete placement for foundation repairs, residential projects, and areas where boom trucks cannot access.
3. Shotcrete Equipment: We also provide specialized shotcrete pumping services. Shotcrete involves spraying concrete at high velocity onto surfaces, creating strong, dense structural reinforcement ideal for foundation walls, retaining structures, and repair applications.

1. Foundation Slabs Our concrete pumping services deliver uniform concrete placement for new foundation slabs. Whether constructing residential foundations or commercial slab foundations, we ensure proper concrete flow and consistent coverage. The concrete pump eliminates gaps and voids that compromise structural integrity.
2. New Foundations Building new foundations requires precise concrete placement and proper consolidation. Our boom concrete pump trucks and trailer-mounted pumps deliver concrete exactly where needed, maintaining consistent slump and proper consolidation throughout the pour.
3. Retaining Walls Retaining wall construction demands strategic concrete placement to achieve proper structural strength. Our concrete pumping equipment delivers concrete uniformly throughout the wall structure, ensuring adequate coverage behind formwork and proper integration with reinforcement steel.
4. Basement Floors and Walls Basement construction often involves challenging access and deep excavations. Our concrete pumping services provide efficient placement for basement floors, walls, and structural elements. We coordinate concrete delivery with your project schedule to minimize delays.
5. Backfilling and Void Filling Foundation repairs frequently require filling voids beneath structures or backfilling around foundation elements. Our concrete pumping equipment delivers controlled concrete placement for these critical applications, ensuring complete void elimination and structural support.
6. Shotcrete Applications Shotcrete pumping provides unique advantages for foundation wall repair, structural reinforcement, and difficult access situations. Our shotcrete services include: 
   • Foundation wall reinforcement
   • Retaining wall construction
   • Structural repairs
   • Slope stabilization
   • Vertical and overhead applications
7. Hard-to-Reach Areas Concrete placement in confined spaces, over obstacles, or at heights requires specialized equipment. Our boom concrete pump trucks extend up to 100+ feet, reaching areas impossible for traditional concrete delivery methods.

• Precise Concrete Placement Our concrete pumping services deliver exact concrete placement, eliminating guesswork and manual labor. The pump transfers concrete directly from mixer trucks to final position, maintaining consistent quality throughout the pour.
• Faster Project Completion Concrete pumping dramatically reduces placement time compared to manual methods. What might take hours with wheelbarrows completes in minutes with our concrete pump equipment. Faster placement means lower labor costs and quicker project completion.
• Access Difficult Locations Boom concrete pump trucks and trailer-mounted pumps reach areas inaccessible to mixer trucks. We deliver concrete over buildings, around obstacles, into basements, and onto elevated structures without manual hauling.
• Reduced Labor Requirements Concrete pumping eliminates manual concrete transfer, reducing on-site labor needs. Fewer workers mean lower costs and improved safety by minimizing worker exposure to heavy lifting and repetitive stress.
• Consistent Quality Maintaining concrete quality during placement is critical for structural integrity. Our concrete pumping services preserve concrete properties from mixer to final position, preventing segregation and maintaining proper water-cement ratio.
• Minimized Site Disruption Concrete pumping from street-level positions reduces equipment traffic on your property. We minimize landscape damage, reduce soil compaction, and protect existing structures during concrete delivery.
• Cost-Effective Solutions While concrete pumping adds upfront cost, the benefits—faster placement, reduced labor, better access, and improved quality—typically result in overall project savings. We provide transparent pricing for all concrete pumping services.
