Concrete pumping in Houston and Austin.
On site before the first truck.
Putzmeister and Schwing boom pumps, 28 to 65 meters, for industrial, infrastructure and commercial pours across Texas and the Gulf Coast.
Owner run since 1998. One dispatch number.
Built for the jobs that do not move.
Mega projects run on schedules written by someone else. We stage the right boom the night before, bring the line, and have a mechanic who can get there.

See the workWhich boom reaches your pour?
Type how high the top of your pour is and how far its far edge is from where the truck can park. The drawing shows the right boom reaching it, to scale from the manufacturer's spec sheet, and one sentence says which boom to order. Dispatch confirms the setup on the call.
From the ground where the truck parks. Slab on the ground: 0. Basement or pit: type a minus, like -20.
Measure flat along the ground, from the closest spot the truck can stand to the farthest spot the concrete has to go.
Legs stay back from a hole at least as far as it is deep.
How will the truck park?
More about the site
Something in the way?
A wall, building or fence between the truck and the pour. The finder also checks that the boom can put concrete right behind it.
Wires, trees, roof or canopy over where the truck stands.
Numbers for the Putzmeister 38Z reference model, from its spec sheet. Vertical reach: ground to the boom tip. Out: boom straight out at pivot height. Reach depth: ground down to the end of the 10 ft hose. Clear air: what the boom needs over the truck to open. Leg spread: the wider of front and rear, fully out. Slope, soft ground, wires and where the truck can actually park change the real setup. That is what the dispatcher's questions are for.
An owner run pump company in a market full of national brands.
S.T.A.R. stands for Safety, Teamwork, Attitude and Reliability. Safety is first in the name because it is first on the job.
S.T.A.R. has pumped out of Tomball since 1998. The work is concrete that has to get from the truck to the form, on the jobs Texas is building. That is the whole business.
Our customers are concrete contractors and the general contractors and owners behind them, on commercial, industrial and infrastructure work. We do very little residential. If you are a finisher who has poured with us at one company and moved to another, you already know the number.
