When your project demands more than standard concrete, Q-crete delivers with precision-engineered special concrete mixes. Designed for high-performance applications, our custom mixes meet unique structural, environmental and architectural requirements across Southeast Queensland.
What Are Special Concrete Mixes?
Special concrete mixes are tailored formulations developed to meet specific performance criteria. These may include enhanced strength, durability, workability, thermal control, or resistance to environmental stressors such as sulphates, chlorides or marine exposure.
Applications
Q-crete supplies special grade concrete for:
- Post-tensioned slabs in multi-level buildings
- Civil infrastructure requiring high early strength or low shrinkage
- Marine and corrosive environments needing sulphate-resistant or low-heat mixes
- Architectural applications with unique aesthetic or structural demands
Technical Expertise You Can Trust
Backed by Boral’s national R&D and technical capabilities, Q-crete’s team works closely with engineers and contractors to develop mixes that meet Australian Standards and project-specific requirements. Our advanced concrete solutions include:
- High Early Strength Concrete for rapid construction cycles
- Shrinkage Limited Concrete to reduce cracking and movement
- Low Heat Concrete for mass pours and thermal control
- Sulfate-Resistant Concrete for aggressive soil or water conditions
- Custom Mix Design tailored to your engineering specifications
We recommend consulting a qualified engineer to determine the most suitable mix for your project.
Sustainability-Driven Innovation
Q-crete offers low carbon special concrete options using supplementary cementitious materials such as fly ash and slag. These mixes help reduce embodied carbon by up to 50%, supporting Green Star and Infrastructure Sustainability Council targets.
