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.

Multiblast were engaged by Watpac Construction Ltd to carry out the installation of all the Epoxy Flooring, and Polished Concrete works required in the new ‘state of the art’ Advanced Engineering Building’ at the University of Queensland’s St. Lucia campus.

Working closely with the principal builder, the Multiblast team was contracted to deliver the flooring solutions for the innovative structure, consisting of over 6,000 sq.m of epoxy flooring, and over 2,000 sq.m of polished concrete. The unique multi-purpose building was set to revolutionise learning and research, offering educational facilities for structural, civil, materials and hydraulics engineering students across eight stories. In keeping with the Green Star design, we applied HYCHEM WE500, an innovative water-based epoxy flooring system. The pigmented, 4mm self-leveling coating has a ‘matt’ finish, is very low odor and very low VOC (volatile organic compound).

Work commenced on the high-profile project in mid-September, 2012, and Multiblast completed all works within Watpac’s scheduled time-frame, closing out contract works in early 2013.
