Our Capabilities
Backfill Containment
Our structural barricade systems are designed to withstand backfill and cavity fill pressures in tabular stopes and large excavations in the mining environment. We have manufactured our structural barricade systems to the highest safety levels.
Strata Stabilisation
Our single-application technology is a high-performance product that provides high early strength and long-term structural integrity. It performs well even in the most adverse geological conditions.
We have combined high flexural and compressive strength to produce a product that offers outstanding consolidation support.
Ventilation
Systems ranging from flexible seals for moderate risk environments to explosion-rated seals that provide long term gas, air and water containment.
From Our Hands To Yours
Forward integration means we have cut out the middleman to deliver our high-performance products directly from our hands to our customers.
Because we are across the supply chain from beginning to end, we can assure our customers that our products have met strict quality control standards and are readily available for fast delivery.
Our direct distribution service benefits businesses by saving time and money with our efficient delivery of products to our customers’ sites.
Environment
Aquacrete® is justifiably proud of its reputation as a responsible corporate citizen. We believe that a strong, vibrant and sustainable business is reliant on our industry and community involvement as well as our care for the environment.
Environmental Responsibility
We believe that business success and environmental responsibility are linked. From the initial product development stage through to distribution, we are proactive in our environmental management and are passionate about developing environmentally sustainable solutions.
To ensure the sustainability of our mineral resources, Aquacrete® has a well-developed mining system that ensures minimal impact on the natural environment.
At a production level, we focus on improving energy efficiencies and optimising our manufacturing processes, with regular reviews of new energy supply options to identify potential for advancement in our systems.
The technology and innovation team at Aquacrete® employs the same principles for product development. We strive to engineer products with low toxicity levels and in turn minimise any environmental impact in the manufacturing process, product installation and waste management cycles.
As a result of this consolidated commitment, we are consistently minimising our impact on the environment.
