CHANGE OF NAME TO MEALES CONCRETE PUMPING October 2008
Meales Concrete Pumping has a proud 25 year history as a market leader throughout Queensland and is delighted to announce its further expansion into South East Queensland.
Our expansion in the Brisbane region will see Meales take over the operation of four existing businesses, each of which will continue to operate as local businesses under the Meales brand with the added benefit of increased capacity and flexibility to better service your needs.
These existing businesses are:-
Improved Concrete Pumping (ICP)

- Importantly, concrete pumping is a service industry and our primary goal in running these businesses under the one banner is to improve our ability to meet the many demands of our customers.
- To achieve this objective, we will retain local depots and local management at the Gold Coast, Yatala, Carole Park/Ipswich and Windsor whilst at the same time centralising our bookings so that all areas can access the closest available suitably sized pump.
- Ours will be the largest mobile and high rise fleet in Queensland with the significant benefit of local knowledge and local management running hand in hand with scale and flexibility.
