Pernicano’s excels at delivering rapid on-site repairs, leveraging their technical knowledge and inventory of genuine Schwing parts to resolve problems quickly. Here are two examples of how their support team has kept projects on track:
- Los Angeles High-Rise Emergency Repair
During a 40-story office tower project in downtown Los Angeles, a contractor’s Schwing SP 2800 experienced a sudden pressure drop while pumping 300 cubic yards of concrete to the 30th floor. The issue threatened to halt the pour, risking a multi-day delay. The contractor called Pernicano’s 24/7 support line at 7 PM, and a technician arrived on-site by 9 PM, equipped with diagnostic tools and a full set of genuine Schwing parts. The technician identified a worn cutting ring in the Rock Valve and replaced it within two hours, restoring full pressure. Pernicano’s also performed a quick system check to ensure no other issues, allowing the pour to resume before midnight. The contractor completed the slab on schedule, crediting Pernicano’s rapid response for saving the project timeline. - Malibu Slope Stabilization Quick Fix
A contractor working on a coastal slope stabilization project in Malibu faced a hydraulic leak on their Schwing SP 1000 while applying shotcrete to a steep embankment. With a tight deadline to protect homes before forecasted rains, the contractor contacted Pernicano’s. A technician was dispatched within three hours, arriving with genuine Schwing hydraulic seals and hoses. The leak, caused by a worn fitting, was repaired on-site in under an hour, and the technician provided guidance on optimizing the shotcrete mix to prevent future strain on the system. The contractor finished the project ahead of schedule, ensuring the slope was stabilized before the storm, thanks to Pernicano’s swift and expert repair.
Consultations for Optimal PerformancePernicano’s customer support goes beyond repairs, offering consultations to prevent issues and enhance pump performance. These consultations are tailored to your project’s needs, whether you’re tackling a small residential pour or a complex commercial job. Here are two examples:
- Irvine Pool Project Pipeline Setup
A small contractor new to shotcrete was preparing for a custom pool installation in Irvine using a used Schwing SP 305 from Pernicano’s. Concerned about navigating the tight backyard and achieving a smooth finish, they requested a consultation. Pernicano’s sent a technician to the site, who designed a 150-foot flexible hose setup to route through a narrow gate and recommended a shotcrete mix with a 6-inch slump for optimal flow. The technician also trained the operator on nozzle control and cleaning techniques, ensuring a blockage-free pour. The consultation enabled the contractor to complete a flawless pool shell, boosting their confidence and securing future contracts. - Santa Monica Commercial Slab Optimization
A contractor working on a multi-story commercial building in Santa Monica needed to maximize the efficiency of their Schwing SP 1000 for a series of 200-yard floor slab pours. Pernicano’s provided a same-day consultation, where a technician assessed the site and recommended a pipeline configuration with 45-degree elbows to reduce resistance and a maintenance schedule to keep the Rock Valve in top condition. They also advised on a high-strength mix to minimize pump strain. The consultation streamlined the pour process, cutting pumping time by 20% and ensuring clean, precise slabs across all floors.
