The construction and tunnelling sectors demand equipment that can handle some of the toughest working conditions in Australia. When it comes to concrete pumping and shotcrete applications, concrete hoses are an essential asset — and not just any hoses will do. They must be durable, abrasion-resistant, and able to maintain flow under pressure.
Fox Global is proud to supply double-ended steel concrete hoses to leading Sydney tunnelling companies, delivering robust hose assemblies that are built to perform in challenging underground environments. Backed by a fast turnaround and direct site delivery, our concrete hose packages are tailored for shotcrete and pumping projects that require uncompromising reliability.
What Are Double-Ended Steel Concrete Hoses?
Double-ended steel concrete hoses are specialized hose assemblies designed with steel reinforcement to handle the abrasive nature of concrete slurry under high pressure. These hoses are used in both shotcrete machines and concrete pumps, providing a critical conduit for transferring wet concrete from the pump to the placement area.
Key Features:
- Steel Reinforcement: Heavy-duty steel wire helix embedded within the hose provides rigidity and crush resistance while maintaining flexibility.
- Rubber Cover and Lining: Tough rubber inner tubes resist abrasion from wet concrete, while the outer cover protects against external wear.
- Double-Ended Design: Both ends are reinforced and fitted for quick and secure connections to pumping machinery or other hoses.
Why Use Steel Concrete Hoses in Tunnelling?
Tunnelling environments are notorious for their harshness — narrow spaces, abrasive surfaces, and the constant need for precise material delivery. Steel concrete hoses are the optimal choice because they:
- Resist abrasion from concrete slurry and aggregates.
- Maintain shape and structural integrity under suction and discharge pressure.
- Reduce hose collapse risk in tight bends and confined spaces.
- Facilitate safer, more efficient pumping of shotcrete and concrete underground.
Comprehensive Concrete Pumping Solutions from Fox Global
Fox Global goes beyond just supplying steel concrete hoses. We provide a complete package tailored to your project needs, including:
Rubber Hoses
Flexible yet tough, our rubber hoses are engineered for high-pressure concrete pumping and shotcrete applications.
Snap Clamps
Heavy-duty snap clamps ensure hose connections remain secure under pressure, eliminating leaks and hose blow-offs.
Blow Balls
Blow balls are essential safety components that protect hoses and pumping equipment by releasing excess pressure in emergency situations.
Steel Reducers
Steel reducers adapt hose sizes for transitions between different machinery or hose assemblies, maintaining flow efficiency and pressure control.

Case Study: Supplying Double-Ended Steel Concrete Hoses to a Sydney Tunnelling Company
Recently, Fox Global supplied a batch of custom-fabricated double-ended steel concrete hoses to a major Sydney tunnelling contractor. This project demanded:
- High abrasion resistance for prolonged use underground
- Custom fittings compatible with the contractor’s shotcrete machines
- Fast production and delivery to meet tight project deadlines
Our team worked closely with the customer from initial design through fabrication and direct delivery — resulting in zero downtime and high operational efficiency on site.
