CONCRETE MIX DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY
At our Campbellfield facility, we operate an independent laboratory dedicated to research and development in concrete mix design technology. We partner with concrete and admixture suppliers to design, test, and optimise mixes through systematic trial programs — evaluating strength, workability, durability, and cost efficiency across locally sourced materials. Our team develops tailored programs to assess new and emerging materials, support VicRoads mix accreditation, and ensure compliance with AS 1379 and AS 3600. With a strong focus on sustainable innovation, we help our partners push the boundaries of mix design technology — delivering performance-driven solutions that meet the evolving demands of modern construction.
SPECIALIST CONSULTING SERVICES
Construction projects are complex undertakings which often face interrelated or conflicting requirements in relation to concrete performance and sometimes there are issues which need a specialised assessment.
Our services include:
- Project / Pour Supervision
- Rebound Hammer testing (non-destructive)
- Troubleshooting concrete performance issues (e.g. cracking issues)
- GPR concrete scanning
- Consultancy and expert witness
