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.

"Solaris Civic Precinct", a Multi storey mixed used development, NSW Government, Midcoast Council joint venture with Global Construction to deliver a well long overdue precinct to the local area and community. The development will comprise of 4 Towers with varying heights up to 10 storeys high, with multiple car spaces and recreational facilities for the community. • New public library of 2000m2 including offices, meeting rooms & amenities. • Indoor & outdoor public community space capable of accommodating over 200 people. • Midcoast Council customer service centre, retail shops, supermarkets, hotel & gymnasium. • A Visitor Information Centre of 100m2, office space, shared community lounge with library. • Over 200 car parking spaces, disabled parking spaces & associated roadworks. • Seniors living apartments, Community green spaces & gardens. The land on which the development is located on, was the former Forster School of Arts Hall & became the focus for a plan for the civic precinct, which will also house a new, larger library for the community. The site, located on the corner of Lake, West and Middle Streets, was acquired with the intent of utilising part of the land for the Council facilities and exploring commercial opportunities for the development of the rest of the land. Penetron Australia was engaged in late 2018 to evaluate and carry out preliminary design options that best suited the development, more so the surrounding harsh environmental elements, as the site was in a water table and less than 100 metres away from Forster’s riverbank. After months of consultation with the engineers & developer, Penetron Australia was formally awarded the project to supply its products and services, as well as provide training to applicators to address the complexity and challenges surrounding the development and its site conditions. "Solaris Civic Precinct" brought modernity, functionality, and a much needed centre to the local community.
