Water Tight Structures
We have considerable experience with water tight and water proofed structures, for water bearing and dry environments. Applications include water tanks, swimming pools, fountains and basements, generally from caltite based concrete but also through the use of coating techniques such as lacquering, bitumen coating and soda wash as well as membrane systems.

Caltite Concrete
Caltite is a well established admixture used to create hydrophobic concrete that repels water from the surface preventing absorption through the matrix pores. We work to customer specification, but also have a considerable amount of hands on experience that allows us to assist in the application of the most suitable techniques.

Xypex Concrete
Xypex works though the crystalisation of the internal pores and capillary tracts of the concrete leaving a waterproof component suited to use with basements, swimming pools and sewage facilities. We have the experience to apply this admix across a wide range of applications, to customer specification.

Water Tanks
We construct a wide range of water tanks, mainly for the water industry including balancing tanks, water treatment systems, digesters, filter beds and sedimentation tanks. Most of our work is caltite based concrete cast in situ and can be additionally lined or coated where required.

Swimming Pools
Caltite based swimming pools including base slab, retaining walls with curved & sloping features and ground level slab. We can also construct other related features such as jacuzzis, splash pools, waterfalls and related concrete features.

Fountains
We construct medium to large fountains with either jets or ornaments complete with drainage, overflow and a variety of cascading features. All fountain work is in caltite with options for lining or coating as well as a range of concrete colours and surface finishes.

Basements
We have considerable experience in the construction of basements in caltite concrete including base slabs and retaining walls. We undertake backfilling, penetration sealing, perimeter footing drainage and ventilation features. Retaining walls can be decoratively finished with cladding or brush work, or prepared for plastering and decoration.

Roofing
We construct flat, angled and curved external concrete roofs. We also construct load bearing roof structures for roof gardens, patios, pools and plant location.

Chemical & Acid Proof Structures
For plant and machinery placement we offer caltite flooring to protect the ground from chemical seepage and acid attack. Caltite floors are suitable the most agressive environments and ensure surface integrity for many years.

Slipways & Jetties
We build river features such as slipways and jetties for freshwater environments in tidal, non-tidal and flood zones in caltite with embedded sealed features such winches, cleats and moorings.
