For some reason, part of the pump's pipe came detached from the rest of the machine, causing an "explosion" of cement, the spokesperson said.
In a police statement, it was announced that a 25-year-old man from Attard was injured after he was hit by the pipe.
The man was taken to Mater Dei Hospital for treatment, where he was certified as having serious injuries.
Investigations by the police and the Occupational Health and Safety Authority are ongoing.
