Epic Systems Headquarters

Tower-mounted and truck-mounted concrete booms pour a section of deck for the new 385-foot by 491-foot parking structure at Epic Systems headquarters in Verona, WI. All of the concrete placement booms are owned by Gordy’s Concrete Pumping, including the red unit that has not yet been painted in Gordy’s standard blue. Photo courtesy of J.P. Cullen & Sons, Inc.

Gordy's Concrete Pumping, Sussex, WI, handled all of the pumping for the parking structure.

Because the parking structure's decks were so large, Gordy's supplemented its boom-equipped pumping trucks with concrete booms mounted atoplattice towers within the structure. The trucks pumped concrete as far as they could reach, and the tower-mounted booms placed concrete for the central areas beyond the reach of the truck-mounted booms.

The interior concrete booms were fed by piping from outside the excavation to the booms atop the lattice stands, with high-pressure pumping trucks feeding concrete through the system.
