Resumo

In April 2008, a new world record height of 606 m for pumping concrete was set on the Burj Dubai Tower in Dubai. Bryan Orchard looks at the high pressure peristaltic or piston pump technology behind this level of performance and the contribution that it can make to the latest generation of high-rise building projects.
