Roly Poly early learning centre, based in Sydney's beachside suburb of Clovelly. The re-development for this site, which was approved by Randwick Council on April 14, 2015, involved demolition, alterations and additions to the former RSL Club building and the establishment of a childcare centre. Catering for 90 children, including new parking for seven vehicles off the rear lane. The beautiful yet dilapidated old Art-Deco building had past its best days, as a result, developer Roly Poly sort the site to establish one of its state of the art early learning centres. Roly-Poly Child Care is a family run service with more than 20 years in pre-school education. The highly passionate and committed team nurture a culture of trust and dignity in which the children thrive. This was the perfect site to expand their family business. After initial consultation between local council, designers and developers, construction company Foresight, was engaged to commence works in 2016. As an interactive centre for children, every level will be utilised for maximum outdoor play area in the fresh sea-side air. Maintaining the integrity of the old facade and joining the inner structure with new concrete slabs, all the details were of the utmost importance for waterproofing and durability. All construction joints were treated with Penebar SW swellable waterstops. Sealing the construction joints. As a result, preventing any water making its way through. All the new concrete utilized Penetron Admix to provide an integral waterproof and durable concrete. Penetron Admix was chosen as it increases the durability and life span of the concrete by 60 years or more. Easy to mix into the concrete during batching at the Boral plant, it eliminated the need for any surface-applied protection systems. Therefore, maximizing time on the construction site and saving money.  Further more, good concrete practice was observed in curing all the slabs using a hydro-carbon resin based curing compound, Supercure HR.

Completed in 2017, AMR Mazda underwent significant redevelopment of their well-established dealership in Stanmore. At AMR Mazda they are committed to providing Superior Service and Quality to all their customers. This was reflective in their choice of contractor. BMH Constructions was awarded the prestigious project in conjunction with their preferred concrete supplier Holcim. Discussions started on the critical roof slab detail. Enhanced compressive strength, resistance to chemical attack, reductions in chloride penetration and carbonation, prevention of sulfate attacks and the capability to self-heal cracks up to 0.5mm were all essential requirements from the client. Penetron Admix was chosen as a stand-alone system to provide waterproofing and durability to the roof slab of the structure. Also utilized as a customer and employee carpark. A critical element as the offices and showroom underneath required maximum protection. On the day of the pour, high heat, strong winds and unforeseen mechanical issues at the batching plant meant that the construction team were set for a range of challenges. Premature moisture loss, cold joints and plastic shrinkage cracking were all bound to cause issues to the slab. As a result, there were many performance highlights that Penetron Admix and its crystalline technology had to demonstrate. As the supporting photos show, the slab did crack. However, the majority self healed following the chemical reaction of the Penetron Admix and the introduction of secondary water. Several months later, there were 3 persistent cracks that required extra attention. These cracks were border-line on the 0.5mm limit of the Penetron Admix. A recommendation was made that a coating of Penetron crystalline slurry would be worked vigorously in to the crack and then water cured. This in-turn sealed these cracks with no further issues on site. Client: AMR Mazda Builder: BMH Constructions Concrete Supplier: Holcim Areas Treated: Roof slab car park

The Gold Coast Desalination plant Project is part of Council’s Gold Coast Waterfuture Strategy and the State’s South East Queensland Regional Drought Strategy Contingency Supply Plan. It is the largest sea water desalination plant built on the eastern seaboard of Australia. In July 2006, the State Government provided funding to Gold Coast City Council to support works associated with the proposed expansion of the desalination plant from an operational capacity of 55 megalitres (ML) per day to 125 megalitres (ML) per day. The Gold Coast Desalination Alliance (GCDA) made the decision to protect any cracking that appeared in the concrete floors and walls in all storage tanks to ensure the long term durability and sustainability of the concrete structure for the asset owners for decades to come. GCDA were seeking an innovate and superior solution and ultimately selected the Penetron repair system to undertake all the crack remediation where over 1,000 lineal metres of cracks were repaired and sealed using a combination of the following Penetron products where we were able to add some value engineering : - Peneplug: Cementitious crystalline rapid setting anchoring plug. - Penetron : Cementitious crystalline slurry. - Penecrete Mortar: Cementitious crystalline mortar. With this project being over 15 years old, it reinforces the strength, sustainability and durability of the Penetron system. Bring the power of Penetron to your next project.
