How One Contractor Cut 4 Hours Off a Slab Pour Using Neolag
Discover how a Sydney plumbing crew reduced installation time and rework by 50% using Neolag's pre-formed neoprene lagging sleeves.
Time Is Money on a Slab Pour
Ask any plumber what the most stressful day on-site is, and you'll get the same answer: pour day. Everything has to line up perfectly.
Josh and his crew at J Group Plumbing shaved four hours off their job by switching to Neolag.
The Job: 100mm Drainage Pipes Through a 400mm Slab
The team was working on a large multi-storey home where all drainage had to be concealed. Multiple penetrations for drainage and stormwater.
"We had guys spending more time wrapping pipes than actually running them."
— Josh, J Group Plumbing
The Solution: Pre-Formed Neoprene Sleeves
The crew cut Neolag sleeves to length, slid them over the pipes, and positioned everything before inspection.
10 minutes per pipe using polywrap
vs
5 minutes per pipe using Neolag
Across 48 sections, the team saved four hours in a single day.
"Everything was locked in and ready before the inspector even got there. He passed the lot first go."
— Jake, Site Foreman
The Results
The Crew's Feedback
"We saved half a day, the boys weren't swearing at tape for once, and it looks clean as. It's a no-brainer."
— Josh, J Group Plumbing
From One Job to Every Job
After that first pour, J Group Plumbing standardized Neolag across all new projects.
Proof That Innovation Saves Time
When one crew can save four hours on a single slab pour, imagine what that means across a full subdivision or commercial build.
