1. Irvine Startup Contractor
   A new contractor in Irvine purchased a used Schwing SP 305 from Pernicano’s for residential pool projects but lacked experience with line pumps. Pernicano’s provided a two-day on-site training session, covering safe pipeline setup for tight backyards and Rock Valve maintenance to handle shotcrete mixes. The training included hands-on practice and emergency drills, enabling the team to complete their first 20-yard pour incident-free. The contractor reported a 20% increase in efficiency, saving $1,500 per project in labor costs, and secured additional contracts thanks to their newfound expertise.
2. Los Angeles Commercial Fleet Expansion
   A mid-sized contractor in Los Angeles expanded their fleet with a new Schwing SP 1000 for urban high-rise pours. Pernicano’s conducted group training for 10 new operators, focusing on telematics for real-time monitoring and safety protocols for elevated sites. The sessions included simulations for troubleshooting pressure issues and compliance with California regulations. As a result, the team avoided a potential hydraulic failure during a 150-yard slab pour, saving $10,000 in downtime.
