A Double or twin concrete plant means that there are two independent plants at the same site. Both are installed and started up at the same time.

A central mix concrete plant is a specialized concrete batching facility designed to produce ready-to-use concrete by mixing all the ingredients, including water, at a central location before delivery to the construction site.

A common type of concrete pump for large scale construction projects is known as a boom concrete pump, because it uses a remote-controlled articulating robotic arm (called a boom) to place concrete accurately. It is attached to a truck or a semi-trailer. Boom pumps are capable of pumping at very high volumes and are less labor intensive to operate when compared to line or other types of concrete pumps.
