Where’s your site located?
Our Head Office is located at Swanbank in Ipswich, QLD. On this site is an Astec T200 Asphalt plant, foam bitumen pugmill, laboratory, workshop and office facilities.
We also have Spray Seal depots at Pinkenba, Warwick, Dalby, Townsville and Chinderah. A Benninghoven mobile asphalt plant is also based at Warwick.
What’s special about the locations of the site?
We have chosen key sites to be able to provide quick and efficient service to customers. The Swanbank site is located in the growth area of Southeast QLD. The 18hectare site is an old underground coal mine and whilst it has some geotechnical challenges, it also provides plenty of buffer area to neighbouring properties.
In December 2014, we also opened a purpose-built spray seal depot at Pinkenba. The site has all the latest equipment to allow for product storage, wash bay, equipment maintenance and calibration.
How long has your site been in operation?
We started operating in 1984, and have transitioned through several sites as the business has grown and diversified. The Swanbank site was established in 2010.
