Stumers Creek Culverts

Queensland, Australia

As part of flood repairs to David Low Way just outside of Coolum, new culverts were constructed as part of the road upgrade for improved flood prevention and tidal overflow. Test results on the 50 MPa concrete of the western-facing wing walls, Apron & Slab failed to meet with compressive strength tolerances of Transport and Main Roads specification. Due to the aggressive nature of the marine environment, Xypex Concentrate, Xypex Modified and Xypex Gamma Cure were selected to rehabilitate with western-facing wing walls, aprons and slab, to increase durability and improve the compressive strength.
