In May, we are celebrating Queensland Small Business Month!  Not only our business but all of the small businesses with proudly work with.  From our locally-owned and operated suppliers to our family-run small business customers!

How fitting that May 2022 also marks 10 years since Easy Reach Concrete Pumping Pty Ltd was:

1. Registered as our official business name
2. Registered as a Australian Proprietary Company with ABN 61 158 149 305 and ACN 158 149 305
3. Registered for GST

What a learning curve it has been!  Neither Andrew or Amanda had any experience running a small family business before May 2012.  But with strong work ethics, willingness to learn and seek advice, in combination with Andrew’s experience as a local concrete pump operator, they have grown Easy Reach Concrete Pumping to the business it is today.  They have always strived to do their best for Easy Reach employees and customers.  Building a successful business while raising a young family is never easy but Amanda and Andrew hope that our customer’s experience with Easy Reach is positive and EASY!

Over the past decade, Easy Reach has grown from 1 employee, 1 truck and a rented yard space to 10-13 employees, our own depot, 4 concrete pumps, 2 light vehicles, a mobile air compressor and full time admin support.  And many other tools and gadgets stored away at Leyland Street!

We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to our journey so far.  From the professional help we’ve received, to the Easy Reach team, family, friends and colleagues.  In particular the small business owners who have been generous in sharing their own experience of running a small business for us to learn from.

Easy Reach Concrete Pumping are very proud to be working with St Hilliers on their Armoured Fighting Vehicles Facilities Stage 1 project at Lavarack Barracks for the Department of Defence.

Since July 2021, Andrew Trezona and the Easy Reach team have pumped more than 3000m3 of concrete for this project.  Where does all of that concrete go?  It goes into the slabs, columns, stairs and blockfill, as well as pathways around the facility.  This means that we can be on site for a couple of hours one day pouring 3m3 for stairs, while the next day we will pump through the night for a 300m3-plus slab.

Thank you to the St Hilliers team and the other subcontractors for choosing Easy Reach and being a great team to work with.

If you have a large-scale project with specific requirements such as a crew with DCAC (Defence Common Access Card) or MSIC (Maritime Safety Identification Card), Easy Reach Concrete Pumping is the concrete pumping supplier for you.  We have experience pumping concrete at Lavarack Barracks, the RAAF base and the Port of Townsville to name a few.  Andrew Trezona is always happy to meet you onsite to discuss your concrete pumping needs to make sure your concrete placement goes as smoothly as possible.

April 2022 marks 5 years since Andrew and Amanda Trezona purchased vacant land at 56 Leyland St, Garbutt.

Over this time, Easy Reach Concrete Pumping have transformed the block to meet the needs of an expanding concrete pumping business. The depot includes space for our Townsville-based concrete pump fleet, air compressor, light vehicles and all of the equipment required to not only provide a complete concrete pumping solution for North Queensland, but to clean and maintain our equipment.  Having the right tools and replacement parts, means our pumps are maintained in a timely and efficient manner, resulting in a fleet that is readily available for our customers.  We are also committed to having good quality facilities for our team including onsite administration.

This month we are quietly celebrating the 5 year work anniversary of one of concrete pump operators.  You will have to guess which operator it is, as he doesn’t want us to make a big deal out of it!

Easy Reach Concrete Pumping are very proud that we have had 2 operators reach this milestone during our first decade in business.  While most concrete pump operators love their job, the days are long with great variability in start and finish times.  In North Queensland, the days are also very hot and humid.  We are very grateful to all of our team and their families for their flexibility and dedication to their job.  Without them we wouldn’t be able to provide some of the Townsville’s best concrete pumping.

In July, Andrew and his crew completed a large pour on the berth 10 wharf extension at the Townsville Port for The Pacific Group. Dave from Visual captured these impressive photos on the day visualptyltd.com.au and Belinda at Industry Queensland completed a great little write up on the project i-q.net.au/main/extension-pour-no-great-stretch-for-this-pump

We are seeking an experienced concrete pump operator.

Easy Reach Concrete Pumping turns 7 this may. Thank you to customers, staff, family and friends for your continued support.

Easy Reach Concrete Pumping have been successful in securing a position as a preferred contractor for Townsville City Council Wet Hire Tender.

The collaboration with our local government provides Easy Reach with the opportunity to engage in works that focus on delivering services for the Townsville community.

Exciting News

Easy Reach Concrete Pumping are excited to announce we are expanding our fleet. Our new 52m Concrete Placement Boom is due to arrive in Townsville, July 2018. We look forward to making our new concrete pump available to our valued customers in Townsville and the surrounding regions.

Easy Reach Concrete Pumping love our regular visits to Charters Towers.  The projects we work on in the Towers, like the town itself often have a rich heritage.  Andrew was privileged to learn about this old mine shaft while planning the concrete pour with the local contractor.  Our pump was used to spray concrete (shotcrete) around the edge of the mine shaft.
