Project Overview
In June 2025, 2 Brothers Concrete & Pumping were proud to complete our largest concrete pumping job to date, supplying and pumping 540 cubic metres of concrete for the construction of Lidl’s new flagship superstore in Havant, Hampshire.
Located just off the A3 leading out of Portsmouth, the project forms part of Lidl’s major expansion across the South Coast, with this site set to open in early 2026.
Our team were brought in to handle the entire concrete supply and pumping operation, ensuring a smooth, continuous pour on a time-critical schedule.
Project Details
- Client: Lidl UK (Flagship Superstore Project)
- Location: Havant, Hampshire
- Date: 26th June 2025
- Concrete Supplied: 540m³
- Pump Used: 36-metre Boom Pump
- Project Duration: Completed within 12 hours
We deployed our 36-metre boom pump, ideal for large-scale commercial pours, allowing for fast, accurate delivery across wide areas of the site. The pour required meticulous coordination between our drivers, pump operators, and the site management team to ensure a steady supply and no downtime.
Despite the size and complexity of the job, our experienced crew worked efficiently throughout the day, completing the full pour within 12 hours, exceeding the client’s expectations.
Challenges and Solutions
This high-volume pour demanded precise timing and expert planning. The site’s access and the need for continuous concrete flow meant that any delay could impact the construction schedule.
Our dispatch team worked closely with the batching plant and site supervisors to coordinate deliveries seamlessly, maintaining consistent concrete quality and strength across the full pour.
The 36m boom pump provided excellent reach, reducing the need for manual labour and ensuring the pour was completed quickly, safely, and with minimal disruption.
Client Feedback
Our end client was extremely impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of the 2 Brothers team. They noted how smoothly the day ran and how well-organised the entire operation was, particularly given the project’s size and the importance of keeping to schedule.
They said it was clear that the 2 Brothers crew were experienced professionals who knew exactly what they were doing, praising their communication and on-site coordination from start to finish.
The client also highlighted that the quality of the concrete was excellent, arriving consistently on time and pumped without issue, allowing the pour to be completed well within the planned timeframe.
Our client was happy to recommend us for large-scale pours, adding that our whole team was brilliant – reliable, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to deal with.
This positive feedback mirrors many of the reviews we receive from customers across the South of England, who regularly describe us as “friendly, efficient, reliable and professional”, and commend the quality of our work and communication.
