Exclusive distributor in Australia for DuraCrete, branded as EvoCrete in other markets Since 1994, DuraCrete has been used globally as a cement additive to increase strength & durability in soil stabilisation and concrete Significant cost & time saving achieved in building & construction situations, Duracrete cuts materials, equipment & production requirements Conventional construction methods require excavation, transport & disposal of existing soil material, and subsequent filling of excavation pit with additionally aggregate. With DuraCrete, this material, work and cost are eliminated - $ savings of 20% to 40% - No aggregate needed – eliminate cost of excavation, transport, materials for base layers - Preparation and build time cut by 40%, reduce labour & equipment costs - Reduce rolling resistance – increase tyre life, reduce fleet maintenance - Cut productivity loss due to weather, erosion, vehicle wear – savings in time, materials, equipment - Cement content of concrete reduced by approx' 20% - Less paving materials, thinner lifts, and longer life - One pass construction – fewer steps to completion - All soil types suitable; loam, clay, sandy, salty - Can be laid in extreme wet (tropical) and cold (to -6 Celsius) conditions - Excellent results in poor material conditions - Structures anchored directly to slab - Less cement required – less energy used in cement production - Less vehicles and production machinery - Non-toxic 100% natural content – MSDS available - Hazardous soil immobilization - 8-10% higher compression strength - Higher static & dynamic elastic modulus – sheering strength - Addition of bending tensile strength - 50% reduction of expansion joints - Designed to last 20+yrs Developed in Germany, DuraCret has been applied in 4000+ civil projects around the world, in most climates from very wet to extremes of cold and hot, through to salt & in most soil types from clay to sandy. Applied to over 75 ml sqm to date
