What Virginia Concrete Pumping does

Virginia Concrete Pumping, LLC is a privately held concrete placement services company founded in 2003 by owner Catherine Cauthorne and headquartered in Chesterfield, Virginia. The company operates a fleet of seven concrete pump trucks ranging from a 32-meter Schwing boom pump to a flagship 56-meter Concord 5-section Z boom pump with 182-foot vertical reach, complemented by a 38-meter self-rising placing boom for stationary elevated placement. All seven operators are ACPA (American Concrete Pumping Association) certified, with combined industry experience exceeding 60 years.

The company generates revenue through project-based concrete pumping services billed to commercial and residential construction contractors across Virginia, with active service areas including Richmond, Fredericksburg, Virginia Beach, Charlottesville, South Hill, and Suffolk. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers contact the company directly via a 24/7 phone line staffed by the owner, emphasizing a relationship-oriented go-to-market with no intermediary scheduling layer. The company holds SWAM, DBE, OSHA, and AGC certifications, enabling access to government set-aside contracts in addition to private-sector work.

Virginia Concrete Pumping's customer portfolio spans healthcare (Children's Hospital Pavilion at VCU), e-commerce and logistics (Amazon warehouses in Meadowville and Dinwiddie), higher education (VCU Housing, VCU & MCV), military (Fort Lee), and municipal infrastructure (local schools, wastewater treatment plants). The business is bootstrapped with no external funding, operates with 1-10 employees, and reinvests in fleet expansion as its primary growth lever.
