80,000 cubic metres of concrete builds strong foundations

You may have seen some of the work carried out by PJ’s Concrete Pumping; in fact as well as GV Health, Shepparton Private Hospital, Council offices, Parklake, and the Riverside Plaza and Harvey Norman development, the business is currently helping bring the Shepparton Law Courts, Shepparton Villages development, Notre Dame College redevelopment and the Chemist Warehouse shopping centre builds to life.

PJ’s Concrete Pumping Managing Director, Peter Don started out as an Apprentice Builder at 16 years-of-age, commencing his own building business at the age of 21. After 20 years in business, in November 2000, Peter made the decision to buy his first concrete pumping truck. Now 17 years on, the business is very much a family affair, with his son, Keelan being the manager, and Rhonda and Ashlin being a part of the business’ 12 personnel.

Peter said, “Around the Goulburn Valley we have worked on projects including Wyndham Early Learning Childcare Centre, Freedom Foods Group Limited (formally Pactum Dairy), the new

Inspira Kids Early Learning Centre, Shepparton-

Mooroopna causeway widening, Broken River bridge strength upgrade, Scot’s Church extension, Education First Youth Foyer, the Shepparton Sports Precinct, Goulburn Valley Dental’s redevelopment on Nixon Street, the new FIX building, Kyabram Hospital, Tatura Milk, MC Pipes, APCO Service Station, Coles Express service station, Caltex service station on Numurkah Road, and the new Chemist Warehouse and shopping centre development in Shepparton’s north.”

“Outside the Goulburn Valley we have completed work on the Mulwala Ammunition Factory, Seymour schools, various irrigation projects, Puckapunyal Army Base, Mangalore Ammunition Factory, Numurkah Oil Seeds factory, Katunga tomato farms and the Eildon spillway redevelopment.

As we also have a concrete pump based in Wangaratta we have been involved in working at a lot of the schools, council development works, commercial and industrial buildings. Being in the local area in Wangaratta means our work extends to Myrtleford, Bright and the Beechworth areas.

Using our seven trucks, we pump approximately 80,000 cubic metres of concrete per year, the concrete supplied from the surrounding concrete plants such as Boral, Mawson’s, Country Concrete, Telfords Concrete, Hanson’s, Mansfield Premix and Yea-Alexandra Premix, in turn supporting these local businesses as well.

As we work to grow our business and to create employment opportunities in the Goulburn Valley, we look forward to continue being involved in the building of local and surrounding infrastructure, improving and growing the area for all industries, and keeping Shepparton great.”
