Following a competitive tender process, NCS were selected to rehabilitate, waterproof and stabilise a 1.2 km stretch of a concrete lined channel. The works involved the reinstatement of approximately 19 km of joints between concrete slabs, over 3 km of crack repairs and the stabilisation of a number of slabs that were subject to movement.…

The prime contractor was seeking an experienced contractor to strengthen a post-tensioned slab after they had cut a void to accommodate a new stairwell within the office building. Carbon fibre reinforced polymer was chosen to strengthen the slab and National Concrete Solutions offered the expertise and know-how to install over 250m of carbon fibre reinforced…

The Cleveland Bay Purification Plant treats a large portion of Townsville’s wastewater, which needs to meet a suitable standard before being discharged into the environment. The plant opened in 1988. At that time the facility treated raw sewage through an oxidation ditch, and discharged effluent to Cleveland Bay. The plant received a major upgrade in…

Lake Julius was formed following the construction of Julius Dam in 1976 for irrigation and town water storage. The dam wall is located just below the junction of the Leichhardt River and Paroo Creek some 70 kilometres North East of Mount Isa. It has a full supply capacity of 127,000 megalitres, a surface area of…

While heritage restoration is a challenging sector, NCS has demonstrated their expertise and capabilities in assisting in the transformation of the Prince Henry Hospital into upmarket apartments, whilst retaining significant elements of its heritage. NCS were engaged by Ganellen to submit solutions for concrete rehabilitation that would increase the structural integrity and of the building with…

National Concrete Solutions were engaged to extend the service life of 32 existing structural piles and headstock that were to be used in construction of a new concrete decking area that extends out over the boardwalk along Brisbane River. The piles were suffering from chloride ingress, and corrosion had already initiated. NCS worked with Quakewrap…

NCS was engaged to rehabilitate the concrete surfaces of the flocculation chamber at North Pine Water Treatment Plant, as part of a much-needed upgrade by SEQ Water. The concrete had lost approximately 10mm of fines, exposing the aggregate, and thus leaving the concrete vulnerable to further deterioration. To fully understand the extent of deterioration, NCS…

NCS were engaged to undertake a hydro demolition of spalling locations in the Loganholme Wastewater Treatment Plant. These works were undertaken with a robot unit, which efficiently removed the concrete, cutting easily beyond the steel layer and providing a perfect finish for subsequent rebuilding. This robotic not only provided high efficiencies, but also ensured that…

NCS embarked on this joint venture to offer their remediation services on a newly built train station walls. During construction, freshly applied shotcrete had started to develop cracks and needed immediate attention before deteriorating further. With such a large and a tall structure, NCS needed to assemble a team of 20 applicators and use multiple…

NCS was engaged to rehabilitate Clarifier 2 at Mudgeeraba Water Treatment Plant, on the Gold Coast. The Mudgeeraba WTP, is one of the 5 largest WTP’s operated by SEQ Water. Stage 1 included the relining of over 2000 square metres of concrete surfaces, that had deteriorated over time due to the nature of the asset.…

South East Queensland has many aging water infrastructure assets requiring remedial works to keep fresh water supplies up to speed for residents. NCS were engaged to remediate the eroding surface of Filter #4. With a focus on safety and quality, this project was to become a benchmark on delivery of concrete rejuvenation in water retaining…

NCS were approached to assess and remediate spalling repairs necessary to the dam spillway. Although safety is always a priority for NCS, it was particularly forefront of this project due to access to the dam and spillway being restrictive. The challenging access to this Asset meant that the team had to access the dam via…

Since construction, the lowest four construction joints in the inlet tower at Corin Dam had been leaking, leading to progressive deterioration of the concrete structure and posing a long-term risk to the asset’s structural integrity. After multiple unsuccessful remediation attempts, National Concrete Solutions (NCS) was engaged to deliver a durable repair solution and installation methodology…

NCS were engaged by the Asset Owner, Murray Irrigation to supply solutions and services for bridge and culvert remediation and service life extension. Due to corrosion caused by water penetration and previous failed attempts at resolving the issues, NCS were required to provide a solution that would deliver a minimum of 15 years of service…

NCS was contracted directly by the asset owner, Goulburn Murray Water to carry out remedial repairs on Snipey Road Bridge. The concrete had lost approximately 10mm of fines, exposing the aggregate, and thus leaving the concrete vulnerable to further deterioration. To fully understand the extent of deterioration, NCS used high-pressure water to remove all laitance…

NCS were awarded the contract to rehabilitate the 66m high concrete boiler stack at the Victoria Mill. Acting as principle contractor, NCS spent 5 months treating the internal and external surfaces of the stack to extend the service life for at least the next 20 years. The initial challenge was to design and erect an…

The Sherrin Stand had experienced deterioration and water had entered into spaces beneath the grandstand which caused extensive water damage to the concrete. NCS were required to provide an end solution in the remediation and waterproofing of this heritage AFL stand. By implementing a systematic process in the remediation of cracks, cold joint repairs and…
