In 2021, San Diego Concrete Pumping, a Pernicano family venture, took on a monumental challenge: pouring 6,500 yards of decorative concrete for Snapdragon Stadium, the new home of San Diego State Aztec football. This high-profile project in San Diego’s Mission Valley demanded precision and reliability amidst a challenging, hilly worksite. The Pernicano team, led by Chris Pernicano Sr. and safety manager Chris Jr., chose the SCHWING SPTO 1250 truck-mounted pump for its compact footprint and robust performance.
Mounted on a Kenworth T270, the SPTO 1250 tackled structural walls and the main plaza, handling harsh mixes with ease. “This pump’s versatility allowed us to reposition quickly on a complex site,” said Chris Sr. Despite supply chain shortages, the team completed the job on time, collaborating with Clark Construction and Brightview. For the Pernicanos, Snapdragon was personal—replacing Qualcomm Stadium, a place of family memories. “We grew up at Qualcomm. Pouring for Snapdragon felt like giving back to San Diego,” added Chris Jr. Call (619) 300-1987 to learn how our SCHWING pumps can power your next project
