From iconic stadiums to towering high-rises, Pernicano’s has played a pivotal role in shaping the city’s skyline and infrastructure. Below, we highlight three success stories showcasing how Pernicano’s Schwing pumps and expert support have driven project success in Los Angeles, demonstrating their commitment to quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
1. Downtown Los Angeles High-Rise: Scaling New Heights with the SP 2800
Project Overview: A 40-story high-rise in downtown Los Angeles, part of the city’s booming urban development, required high-pressure pumping for its foundation, columns, and floor slabs. The project, completed in 2024, demanded a pump capable of delivering concrete to extreme heights while handling abrasive, high-strength mixes.
Pernicano’s Contribution: The contractor selected a new Schwing SP 2800 from Pernicano’s, leveraging its 1450 psi pressure and 95 cubic yards/hour output to pump concrete up to 330 feet vertically. Pernicano’s customized the pump with a truck-mounted configuration for easy site access and provided operator training to ensure efficient use of the Rock Valve system.
Challenge and Solution: The project’s low-slump, high-strength concrete posed a risk of blockages. Pernicano’s technicians worked closely with the contractor to optimize the pipeline setup, recommending specific hose diameters and genuine Schwing couplings to maintain flow. They also supplied a maintenance schedule to keep the Rock Valve in top condition, preventing wear-related issues during intensive pumping.
Outcome: The SP 2800 excelled, pumping concrete to the top floors without interruptions, even under high-pressure demands. The contractor completed the structural pours ahead of schedule, crediting Pernicano’s expertise and equipment reliability. “Pernicano’s SP 2800 was a beast, and their team’s guidance on pipeline setup made all the difference,” the contractor noted. “We’ll be back for our next high-rise.”
2. Hollywood Residential Development: Compact Efficiency with the SP 305
Project Overview: A multi-home residential development in Hollywood required precise concrete placement for foundations and driveways in tight, urban spaces. Completed in 2023, the project demanded a compact pump that could navigate narrow streets while delivering reliable performance for small to medium pours.
Pernicano’s Contribution: The contractor, a small business new to concrete pumping, purchased a used Schwing SP 305 from Pernicano’s for its compact size and 30 cubic yards/hour output. Pernicano’s refurbished the pump with genuine Schwing parts, including a new wear plate, and provided a three-month warranty. They also offered on-site training to ensure the contractor’s team could operate and maintain the pump effectively.
Challenge and Solution: The contractor struggled with cleaning the SP 305’s hopper after initial pours, risking buildup that could clog the Rock Valve. Pernicano’s support team provided a detailed cleaning tutorial, including the use of a sponge ball and Schwing’s EcoClean system. They also supplied a stock of cleaning accessories and seals to keep the pump in top shape.
Outcome: The SP 305 proved perfect for the project’s confined spaces, delivering precise pours for each home’s foundation and driveway. The contractor completed the development on time, boosting their reputation and securing new contracts. “Pernicano’s made our first pump purchase easy,” the contractor said. “The SP 305 was affordable and reliable, and their training helped us hit the ground running.”
