For concrete pumping companies

A concrete pump inspection checklist that files itself under the pump

BoomLog is a pump records app for small concrete pumping companies that keeps every daily pre-pour check, annual boom inspection, pipe wall thickness reading and operator card filed under the pump it belongs to.

No card needed. Built for 1 to 15 boom and line pumps.

When someone asks

Four questions a contractor, insurer or inspector will put to you

  1. Show me the last 30 days of checks on that pump.

    After an incident, a general contractor, insurer or OSHA asks for the pre-pour checks on one pump. The paper pads are in six glove boxes.

  2. When was the boom last inspected, and what did it find?

    The date lives on a wall calendar or in the inspector's head, and a lapsed inspection can keep a pump off a job site that asks for proof.

  3. How thin is that pipeline, and when did you swap it?

    Wall readings get taken with a gauge and then lost, so sections are replaced by guesswork: too early costs money, too late is a burst pipe in the middle of a pour.

  4. Is your operator's card current?

    ACPA cards expire on different dates, and the owner finds out when someone on site asks to see it.

One record per pump

Open Unit 14 and see all of it

Boom, line and trailer pumps each get a page. The inspection status, the open defect, the parts close to their limit and the last month of checks sit together, and one button exports the whole history as a spreadsheet for whoever is asking.

What it keeps

Wear parts, boom inspections and the daily check, one pump at a time

Wear parts

Know which pipe section fails next

File every pipe section, elbow, reducer, end hose, wear plate and cutting ring against the pump, with its position on the boom and its install date. Log a thickness reading with the gauge in your hand, and BoomLog flags the part when it reaches the minimum wall you set. The shop swaps what is due, not what feels old.

Annual boom inspections

A due date for every boom, and the report behind it

Each pump carries its last annual inspection, the result, a link to the report and the next due date. The dashboard lists inspections overdue or due in the next 60 days. On the Fleet plan your outside inspector gets a login that shows only the pumps assigned to them, and enters the result directly.

Daily pre-pour check

The paper pad, on the operator's phone

Operators tick outriggers, boom welds, pipeline clamps, end hose, hydraulics, remote stops and hopper grate before the pour, add a photo link to anything wrong, and mark the pump do-not-use if it is unsafe. A defect lands on the shop lead's list the same minute and stays there until someone writes down what was done.

Operator cards

Hear about an expiring card 60 days early, not on the job site

Add each operator's ACPA line pump, boom pump or 50 m plus card, company qualification and CDL with its expiry date and a link to a photo of the card. The dashboard lists what expires in the next 60 days, and each operator sees their own cards on their phone. Dates and card photos only. No medical or drug-test records, ever.

What the records are about

Booms, hoses, couplings and hydraulics: the parts that wear out

Who logs what

Four logins, and each sees only what the job needs

Owner
Every pump, check, inspection, part and card. Adds pumps, invites people, assigns operators and inspectors, exports a pump's history, runs billing.
Shop lead
Every pump. Clears defects, logs wear parts and pipe readings, records inspections, keeps operator cards current. Can invite operators. Cannot delete pumps or touch billing.
Operator
Only the pump assigned to them. Does and corrects their own pre-pour check for a day, sees that pump's inspection status and wear parts, and sees their own cards.
Inspector
Only the pumps assigned to them. Enters annual inspection results and report links, and reads wear-part readings and recent defects. Fleet plan.

Questions

Concrete pump records, answered

What goes on a concrete pump daily inspection checklist?

BoomLog's pre-pour check covers outriggers and pads, boom structure and welds, pipeline clamps and couplings, end hose and boom hoses, hydraulic leaks, remote and emergency stops, and the hopper grate and safety devices. Follow your manufacturer's manual and your insurer's requirements for anything beyond that.

How often does a concrete pump need an annual inspection?

Many contractors, insurers and manufacturers expect a documented annual inspection by a qualified person. BoomLog does not decide your schedule. It stores each pump's last inspection, the result, the report link and the next due date, and warns you 60 days ahead.

Can I track concrete pump pipeline wall thickness?

Yes. For each pipe section, elbow or hose you record the new wall, the minimum wall you replace at, and each reading with its date. A part at or near its minimum goes on the dashboard before it fails on a pour.

How do I keep concrete pump operator certification cards current?

Add each operator's ACPA line pump, boom pump or 50 m plus card, company qualification or CDL with its expiry date. The dashboard shows cards expiring in 60 days. BoomLog stores dates and card photo links only, never medical or drug-test records.

Does this replace my inspector or my manufacturer's checklist?

No. It is the filing cabinet: it keeps what your inspector and operators find, in one place per pump, and hands it over when a contractor or insurer asks.

What happens after the 14-day trial?

Your records stay readable and exportable. To keep adding checks and parts you pick a plan, from $19 a month. No card is needed to start.
