Anyone who has ever worked with concrete will tell you, placing and finishing in hot, dry conditions can be a major challenge. The combination of high temperatures, winds and low humidity can increase the rate of evaporation of moisture from the fresh concrete – accelerating the rate of cement hydration. This, in turn, can lead to a number of significant problems with concrete placement and finishing, including plastic shrinkage cracking, increased permeability, a reduction in final strength, and a sub-standard slab.

Despite the complexity of the Net Zero target, many would argue that it is the most important challenge that we, as a global community, have faced. Recognising the complexity of the challenge, Master Builders Solutions + Bluey Technologies ANZ have developed a multi-faceted approach to achieving their goal of Carbon Neutrality by 2030.

No two underground construction projects are the same. Geotechnical conditions vary considerably across a project, which can result in a range of construction methods being utilised across a single project. With that in mind, it’s also clear that when it comes to anchoring grouts, there’s no ‘one size fits all’ solution. That’s why Master Builders Solutions has developed a specialist range of innovative, high-performance anchoring solutions to suit every type of project in ground conditions.

In mining, the deeper the excavation, the greater the geotechnical challenges. As the depth increases, so do the rock stresses affecting the strata. Ensuring the stability of the strata is of paramount importance – not only in protecting the personnel but also the mine itself.

When it comes to mining and underground construction, safety is paramount – especially when it comes to the stability of the strata. Ensuring the stability of the strata is a critical factor in protecting both the personnel and the mine itself.

By choosing the MasterRoc RBA 380, contractors are now able to continue excavating safely almost instantly.

When concrete is pumped or finished in the rain, the after effects can often lead to a series of failures which can cause structures to become weakened and even dangerous over time.​

It’s startling to think that in 2022, one-in-four women have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace. On top of that, 60% of working Australian women are currently experiencing violence from their partner. At Master Builders Solutions Australia we have the means to do something about these statistics. Therefore, we are taking the first steps to become a White Ribbon Workplace Accredited company.

​All to often, concrete voids are the result of entrapped air bubbles which have failed to rise to the surface of a slab or formwork. The voids can significantly weaken a concrete structure, so it is important to prevent or repair these issues before they escalate.

Located between Melbourne and Ballart, the Lerderderg Bridge is a key piece of Victorian infrastructure, consisting of two bridges, totalling four lanes of traffic. As part of the Major Highway Upgrade Project by the Department of Transport (VicRoads), a range of Master Builders Solutions products were specified to increase the load-carrying capacity and extend the design life of the bridge by more than 50 years.

Treating concrete with a high quality liquid hardener not only creates greater surface density but also provides increased durability, resistance to abrasion and penetration by oil or grease. Master Builders Solutions can help you achieve these results.

​ We always look to repair concrete first rather than replace an entire asset or a partial piece of infrastructure. This article discusses three of the most common reasons and methods to repair damaged concrete.
