As the head concrete contractor on the landmark Nue Gungahlin development, JAG Pumping, along with their sister company JAG Commercial Concreting, shaped the project from the ground up. Led by Director Glenn Kennedy, the JAG team placed all concrete slabs throughout the structure and executed the hard landscaping across the site.
“This was one of the bigger projects we’ve done,” says Glenn.
“We placed everything: every slab, every external pour; and brought the whole building out of the ground.”
Despite the challenges presented by the project’s height and scale, JAG’s crew demonstrated why they’re leaders in large-scale residential concrete placement.
“We weren’t allowed to park around the back due to site conditions and weather. Mud made truck access impossible,” explains Glenn. “So we did everything from the street using a 58m pump, a 2m whip line, and a spider boom. That combination allowed us to avoid tower booms early on, which saved the builder on cost, materials, and time.”
A standout moment in the project was the massive transfer slab which involved 700m³ of concrete pumped and poured before 11am. “They needed it fast because of the thickness of the deck. We used two large mobile pumps to get it done efficiently,” Glenn says.
For the top floor, the team poured 1700m² of post-tension mix, on both towers, simultaneously. “There were no control joints in the roof slab, so we had to pour it all in one go. One tower used a mobile pump, the other a city pump, which was run on two separate static lines. We started in the centre and poured out with two separate crews,” explained Glenn.
At Nue Gungahlin, JAG Pumping once again proved why they’re trusted on Canberra’s most complex builds, delivering a virtually defect-free result through smart problem-solving, unwavering reliability, and meticulous attention to detail on even the largest pours.
