A quick Westkon sustainability update: 30% Cement Reduction for Pre-Stressed Items: After a year of testing with Boral and significant upgrades to our curing system, we have successfully cast several T-Roff beams with 30% Cement reduction for a recent project. Westkon is pleased to announce that this product is now available for upcoming projects. Robovoid Update: After years of sampling and testing with our partners Robovoid Pty Ltd, we are ready to roll out a significant innovation that can reduce CO2 mass by 70% by using recycled plastic and reducing the cement content while maintaining the same concrete strength.

The concrete mix is also DTP (VicRoads) complaint. #sustainability #sustainabilityupdate #decmil #circulareconomy #greengoals #ecofriendly #sustainableconstruction #buildgreen

Parkdale Level Crossing Removal Project update: We are underway casting the 246No. 3D Architectural panels with a timber finish and are very happy with the progress. Take a look at some of the progress below! #levelcrossing #vicbigbuild #constructionindustry #melbourneconstruction

Westkon is supplying 12No. 85-tonne high torsion beams that form a part of the Parkdale Level Crossing works. The high torsion resistance is achieved by using a closed top/lost void casting technique. In addition to the beams, we are also supplying 322No. Architectural retaining walls that are being installed day and night. #parkdale #levelcrossing #bigjob #concreteconstruction #architecturedaily

If you need an upstand poured off-site to minimise works on-site, that's not a problem! We can pour a two-stage pour in a safe and controlled environment, ready to be installed with ease. #railways #concreteconstruction #concretedesign #construction #victoria
Much like the iconic bird it shares a name with, the passing loop we’re extending at Emu is unique. It differs from the other passing loops we’re delivering across the Murray Basin freight network as it crosses over Foley's Creek. That meant the rail bridge needed to be widened to make space for new track. Since November, crews have worked to do just that as part of the 500-metre extension of the passing loop. Major construction on the bridge was completed last month, and our team is now focused on signalling installation. Once complete, the loop will enable two 1,200-metre freight trains to pass each other on the Yelta Line. #RailIndustry #RailInfrastructure #Freight #Construction

A few weeks ago, we posted about an enormous industrial precast structure that we are supplying for Roberts Co. Here is a closer look at some of the columns and beams stored in our Sunshine and Melton facility, ready to be installed on-site. The structure spans four levels and will be the largest of its kind in Australia! Once complete, we would have poured 15,000m3 of concrete or 39,000t of precast. Amazing work by all involved! #industrial #precastconcrete #precast #precastconstruction #skyscraper #skysthelimit #constructionindustry #melbournebusiness #workforce

Here is a project that is out of the box (or should we say on-the-box girder). You would have seen the massive steel beams around the City Link Bolte Bridge area; on top of these beams sits a precast decking system that forms the base for the proceeding on-site concrete works. Over the past 12 months, Westkon has been busy making these units for the West Gate Tunnel Project. Once complete, we will have made over 5000 units, which comprise a total area of about 34,000m2. The project has been complex, given the curvature of the bridges, the intricate geometry, and the complex reinforcement, making almost every unit unique. #melbourneconstruction #cityliving #concreteconstruction #concretedesign #westgate #sitework #bigjob #bridges

A real pleasure working with Robovoid Pty Ltd on this big project!
Happy new year and best wishes for 2024 from the Robovoid Team. As we cast off our holiday and festive season cobwebs we look towards our 2024 opportunities and targets whilst reflecting on our 2023 goals and performance. Globally, commitments to the reduction of #carbonemissions in the quest to reduce the impact of #climatechange have been reaffirmed in #cop28uae. Key to achieving #sustainablesolutions in the #constructionindustry is reduction of #concrete and #cement use in #construction. As 2023 closed we conducted manufacturing trials with #WESTKON on the production of 5 metre tall precast L-shaped #retainingwalls incorporating ROBOVOID void formers. Approximately 30% of the #concrete volume is saved and approximately 50% of the #carbonemissions is reduced using this method, making for a #sustainable, safe, fast and cost effective retaining wall solution. Please get in touch if you are interested in using our #innovative #decarbonisation solution on your project. #sustainabledevelopment #co2reduction #co2emissions #engineering #engineeringinnovation #concreteconstruction
