Services (Technical Disciplines)

Supply of precast concrete product and delivery to Australia. As far as we know, it’s Ireland’s first ever large-scale precast export to the region.

Project Objective

The elements are part of a 2000 population wastewater recycling development at Mirani in Queensland, and is a pilot installation with a view to exploring the application of FLI Carlow’s semi-precast approach in Australia and South East Asia.

Our Role

The 5.40m tall walls have been designed for a perfect fit in 20ft ISO containers at payloads of just under 25 tonnes each. The 625 tonne consignment fills 25 containers and will travel by sea through Dublin, Antwerp, Sydney and Brisbane, then by road to Mirani.

The project catalysed a number of significant innovations, initially to facilitate containerisation but which will add value to routine operations across our product range both overseas and domestic.

Construction is to commence early in September 2019 and will be completed in three weeks.
