Multiblast were engaged by Watpac Constructions to carry out the concrete honing & sealing to the pool surround of the brand-new Gold Coast Aquatic Centre, at Griffith University. Featuring an Olympic size swimming pool, the entire 1,600 sq.m surrounding concourse was honed to fully expose a multitude of coloured stones – Hanson ImageCrete Colorado.

Being a pool surround and a high traffic ‘wet’ area, safety was of utmost importance. The slip-resistance achieved will ensure the safety of all pool-goers, whilst the ‘wet-look’ penetrating sealer has given the concrete finish vibrant colour and depth, whilst offering great protecting from staining.

Multiblast were required to overcome numerous challenges to provide the quality finish that such a project deserved. Battling the extreme outdoor weather conditions of one of the hottest summers on record, our experienced team powered through to get the job completed on time. We have since received the praise of Watpac, Griffith University and the Brisbane City Council, who are all extremely satisfied with the finish provided by Multiblast.

The Gold Coast City Council engaged us to carry out the honed concrete works for the new Macintosh Island pedestrian bridge. The walkway surface for the Gold Coast bridge was honed back to expose full stone/aggregate, and finished at an 60/80 grit, before a concrete sealer/densifier was applied.

The honed concrete provided a very attractive looking concrete finishing, and also provides a safe slip resistant surface. As the walkway is a high pedestrian traffic area and is open and exposed to the weather, slip resistance was incredibly important. The penetrating sealer/densifier that was applied upon completion of the honing works will protect the surface from staining, and also helped to harden the surface of the concrete.
