Abstract:
For the Trump Tower construction in Las Vegas, NV, the floor-a-day schedule was met using a detachable pumping boom that could be attached to one of the two climbing towers. For some placements, most of the concrete was pumped from one tower, and the rest was placed using crane-and-bucket.
