Sunshine Coast Bridges, Queensland
sensitive marine environment

The Sunshine Coast Regional Council chose AQURON 7000 to be used on their bridge protection projects, for environmental suitability. This was carried out in 2018.

The treatment reduces maintenance costs long-term by sealing, waterproofing, and hardening the concrete. This increases the impermeability of the concrete matrix, halting moisture migration through the structure, preventing contamination and corrosion. The treatment also contains a corrosion inhibitor.

Typical treatments would have threatened the ecosystem and required costly, time-consuming runoff containment in the waterways during treatment. Instead, the treatment used is nil-VOC (no volatile organic compounds) and potable water approved, certified for use in water supply tanks.

This project also involved carrying out pressure-washing before applying the product.
