Technology - the word itself brings a sense of security to us. However, have we ever paused to think exactly when did this thing become so important to us? Yes, we are all dependant on it? But when did it become the one thing without which it would be almost impossible to survive? The answer to this question would be it has been important since the time when the ancient man started working towards making his sustenance easier. Science that has revolutionized the way we live today, actually started at the very point when man created fire by rubbing two stones together. The warmth that the fire gave made it easy for man to survive in extreme cold and darkness. Since that moment onwards man used this knowledge to make his daily tasks easier and simultaneously, technology has improved. It was technology that dragged man out of the caves and propelled him towards other planets and satellites.


However, it would be wrong to say that technology has made such a great leap that it has become incomprehensible to ordinary man. One does not have to look into the stars to figure out just how far mankind has come from being ...
... cavemen. A look around us while standing at a city square makes it very clear that the construction industry of today is nothing short of a sheer marvel. From the height of the buildings to the designs, everything can be categorized as mind boggling. It is quite obvious that such feats are almost impossible to accomplish without the application of science. The time and cost involved would be too much to bear. It is here that the heavy looking, awe inspiring automations make an appearance. It must be mentioned here that their true worth is measured by their functionality and durability.


In this regard, the name of the grout mixer and pump comes first. These machines are basically used for transferring concrete from one place to the other and then shooting it into the ground to form a firm base. They inject the slurry concrete into the ground at tremendous force and fill up a hollow space. As a result the concrete solidifies rapidly, thereby creating a strong base for the construction to stand on. The machines are also used for leveling out concrete slabs or fill in cracks, raising sunken concrete Repairing, filling and waterproofing jobs can be done in a jiffy with their help.


While mud pumps are also of much importance, there is another kind of these automation that is more popular and preferred. They are the boom pumps. These are used for transferring liquid from one place to another preferably in the areas where the distance between the two places is great. They are also used in places where the construction work is too big and it would take a lot of time, money and labor to transfer a considerable amount of concrete to the place manually. Instead these machines can be operated by a trained individual and that too from a distance. These do not just speed up the construction process but also make the work cost effective.
