Sustainable and highly resistant concrete: Mapei’s admixture technology at the Port of Brisbane
The Port of Brisbane Wharf 5 reconstruction showcases Mapecube 60W admixture, which was used in the concrete mix for the new concrete slab replacing the existing suspended slab affected by chloride-induced corrosion. By optimizing hydration and mix design, the admixture improved durability, workability, and environmental impact, enabling a long-lasting and sustainable solution in the harsh marine environment. Despite logistical challenges, the project ensured smooth placement and structural resilience, demonstrating the effectiveness of advanced admixture technology in marine construction.
