S.T.A.R. Concrete Pumping
Home / Markets / Austin
Austin, Texas

Concrete pumping in Austin, Round Rock and San Marcos.

Putzmeister and Schwing boom pumps from 28 to 65 meters and line pumps for Central Texas contractors, with a base in the Austin area and one dispatch number: (281) 357-1555.

Where we pump

Austin is a home market, not a long haul from Houston. The booms work from our yard in Manor, on the east side of Austin, so a pump and a mechanic are within reach of every job here.

The everyday area runs Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown, San Marcos, Buda, Kyle, and down the corridor toward San Antonio. Call about anything past that. The answer depends on the schedule and on keeping the pump within a day of support.

What Austin contractors call us for

  • Slabs and tilt wall. Warehouse, distribution and flex slabs along the I-35 corridor, and the tilt wall panels on top of them. Mostly the 36 to 47 meter class.
  • Mats. Data center and industrial mat foundations in the region, staged the night before, often with more than one pump.
  • Decks. Mid rise and high rise decks and parking structures downtown and in the Domain area, where vertical reach matters.
  • Highway and water. Bridge decks, caps and treatment plant structures. See infrastructure.

We do very little residential. For a driveway or a pool deck there are good local line pump outfits.

How dispatch works

One number. (281) 357-1555 reaches dispatch for every base, Austin included. A person who knows the fleet answers, not a call center.

Start windows. Pours book in start windows, early and later in the day. Downtown work and summer mats run at night. Say the start time you need and dispatch tells you what the schedule holds.

What to send. Jobsite address or cross streets, pour date and start time, yards, what you are pouring, and where the truck can park. Boom size if you know it. Overhead lines, slope, soft ground or gate hours if they apply. The request form asks for exactly that. For tomorrow, call (281) 357-1555 instead.

New to Austin?

If you are a builder setting up on a Central Texas data center, plant or highway job, send the request with your company name and the project. We return the W-9 and a certificate of insurance naming the project and fill out your vendor packet. Details on the safety and vendor setup page.

Questions Austin contractors ask

How far out of Austin do you go?
Georgetown and Round Rock on the north end, Pflugerville, then south through Buda and Kyle to San Marcos and the corridor toward San Antonio. Same rule as everywhere: the pump stays within a day of a base and a mechanic. Answered: Port Arthur to Corpus Christi, inland to Austin, San Antonio and College Station Do you take San Antonio work? list
What size boom do I need for a 10,000 square foot slab?
It depends on where the truck can park. A 100 by 100 foot slab with the truck set up at the middle of one side puts the far corners about 112 feet out. A 47 meter reaches 138 feet and covers that with room to spare. If the truck can park at a corner and move once, or the slab pours in two sets, a 36 or 38 meter at 103 to 108 feet does it. Tell dispatch where the truck can sit, or check it on the reach finder.
Do you pour at night?
Yes. Downtown decks, summer mats and highway closures run at night. Give dispatch the start time and the boom is staged before the first truck.
How do I get set up?
Call dispatch or send the request form with your company name and the Austin project. We send the W-9 and the certificate of insurance and put you on the schedule. First pours are on terms dispatch explains on the call.
