DAVID’S DESK
It has been a significant year for our
business internally. At the end of 2011,
every part of the Metromix organisation will
have been reviewed, assessed and where
necessary, reconstructed; resulting in
various targets for improvement for each of
our business divisions individually as well
as for Metromix as a whole.
The process was put into place not only to
address the significant shift in the
markets that we work in, but also as an
opportunity to improve on our
performance.
Key aspects of these
improvements were focused on our
service offering to you, our customers.
Earlier in the year we focused on ensuring
that our agitator fleet was matched to
market demands. We have since added
three extra trucks to achieve this,
providing better utilisation and fleet
flexibility. Our tipper fleet has also adapted
to better suit work demands.
Metromix’s capability and willingness to
develop specialist mixes is well known and
we continue to assist our customers with
unusual placement challenges and in
meeting challenging specifications. This
focus on new product development
These changes in truck utilisation and continues in both our concrete and quarry

and within our fleet.
In addition to this we have increased our
focus on customer service by improving
how we plan for deliveries with staff on our
customers’ sites.
While the work in each of these areas is
significant, the area with the biggest change
has been in the product development and
technical areas for concrete and quarries.
Our mix management system has been
successfully implemented to allow easier
plant operation and this has led to our
Technical Manager, Ross Mutton,
reassessing all existing mixes for
improvements in both performance and
placement serviceability.
With the increased activity in the run up to
Christmas, it is important to maintain our
focus on safety. It is imperative that we all
go into the holiday period healthy and
uninjured, so please take care both in the
lead up to, and then over the Christmas
break.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year.

CREATING PRESTIGIOUS WORKSPACE IN THE EASTERN SUBURBS
Southern Cross Projects are about to

$36 million establishment on the corner of
Bourke Road and Collins Street, Alexandria
is expected to be completed in December
this year.

In preparation for and during pours,
Metromix Production Manager, Pat Essex,
conducted regular site visits with Southern
Cross Project Manager, Adam Sutherland.
Metromix have supplied approximately
13,500m³ of concrete for this project, which
includes regular strength, high strength and
special mixes such as shrinkage-limited,
post-tension high-early strength, plus mixes
suitable for burnished flooring.

WHY METROMIX?

The new 4-level building will provide space
for three showrooms, office space for wine
merchants Samuel Smith & Son, warehouse
space for Yalumba Wines, and other
warehouse areas which will be accessible
for B-double trucks.
Metromix have been supplying concrete to
Southern Cross Projects since 1990; an
achievement that has been reached by
providing a superior product and service to
continue a trusting business relationship
over the years. As with all projects, regular
communication was essential to ensure the
success of this project, as well as having a
finger on the pulse in regards to customer
needs and assistance with pour requests
and special mixes.
Due to the large pours onsite required
throughout the day in a busy area, there has
been extensive planning required between
Adam and Pat plus communication with
drivers, allocators, concrete pump, traffic
control, site foreman and construction staff.
It was important that both companies were
able to adapt to the conditions and logistic
issues, and work together to ensure the
pours were delivered smoothly and
efficiently.

STRANGE BUILDINGS OF THE WORLD
NE

W
!
As of last issue we introduced a
new section in METRONEWS ‘Strange Buildings of the World’.
We present to you the weird and
whacky buildings that push the
boundaries of engineering and
architectural design.
“There was an old woman who lived in a
shoe…” and she may have even lived here –
‘Shoe House’ at 197 Shoe House Road,
Hellam, Pennsylvania, USA. This structure
was built in 1948-9 after “Shoe Wizard” and
millionaire businessman Colonel Mahlon M.
Haines walked up to an architect, handed
him an old work boot and said “Build me a
house like this”. Now that’s clever
marketing!
The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain
opened in 1997 and was hailed as the most
important building of its time. The building
is made out of titanium, glass and
limestone.
Ever dreamed of living in a palace? For
Ferdinand Cheval this dream came true,
even if it did take him 33 years. To create
this ‘Palais idéal’ (Ideal Palace) in France,
he collected stones and bound them
together with lime, mortar and cement. Not
bad for a postman with no sculptural,
architectural or construction experience!
‘Stone House’ in Fafe, Portugal is said to be
made out of existing granite boulders, which
is the main geology of the area, although
some viewers are sure that it is fake. Either
way, you can’t help but hum the theme of
The Flintstones when looking at this picture!

The Air Force Academy Chapel in Colorado,
USA is of quite a modern design,
considering it was built in 1962. The
structure is a tubular steel frame of 100
identical tetrahedrons, each 75 feet (23 m)
long, weighing five tons, and enclosed with
clear aluminum panels. The Cadet Chapel
was designed specifically to house three
distinct worship areas under a single roof.
The Protestant nave is located on the upper
level, while the Catholic and Jewish chapels
and one all-faiths room are located beneath
it. Beneath this level is a larger all-faiths
room and two meeting rooms. Each chapel
has its own entrance, and services may be
held simultaneously without interfering with
one another.
‘House Attack’ in Vienna, Austria was
designed by local sculptor Erwin Wurm. It
features a suburban cottage wedged
roof-first into Vienna’s Museum of Modern
Art.
A house fit for a hobbit? This is a Cobb
House in Vancouver, Canada. ‘Cob’ is an old
English word meaning lump or rounded
mass. Traditionally cobbers use their hands
and feet to form lumps of earth mixed with
sand and straw for strength. Cob building
uses minimal wood and no synthetic
materials such as vinyl siding, fibreglass
insulation or paint, making it a wise choice
for people with chemical sensitivities, and
the materials are much cheaper than
modern materials such as concrete.
The Free Spirit Spheres are set among the
tall trees of the west coast rainforest of
Vancouver Island, Canada and are tree
houses for adults 16 years and over. The
handcrafted wooden (Yellow Cedar / Sitka
Spruce) spheres are suspended like
pendants from a web of rope and are
available for hire for healing, meditation,
photography, canopy research, leisure and
game watching. Named Eve, Eryn, and
Melody (no I am not kidding!), the spheres
sit 3.1m, 4.6m and 4.3m above the forest
floor.

THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE
Modern tests show that the concrete of this
time – ‘opus caementicium’ – had as much
compressive strength as modern Portland
cement concrete. However, due to the
absence of steel reinforcement, its tension
strength was far lower and the Romans
completely relied on the bonding properties
of concrete to resist tension. It is the
widespread use of concrete in many Roman
structures which has kept them intact over
the years. The Baths of Caracalla in Rome
are one example, as is the dome of
Hadrian’s Pantheon with its masonry
external shell built on a concrete core.
Analysis shows that the famous Egyptian
pyramids may have also used concrete in
their construction, and it is suggested that
lime and mortar gypsum was also used. Not
a job for the faint-hearted, there were no
agitator trucks for delivery, so all mixing and
transporting was done by hand and with the
use of a wheelbarrow.
Concrete as we know it today was
introduced in 1867 in France, when a
gardener first developed the system of
reinforced concrete for his flowerpots. Soon
enough the rest of the world knew of this
method and how the material can be
strengthened in this way.
Largest continuous pour - Part of the
foundation for Abu Dhabi’s Landmark Tower
at 16,000m³ of concrete poured within a 2

Dubai Contracting Company for the raft of
the Al Durrah Tower in the World Trade

of concrete poured over 2 days.
Largest tunnel project - Kedron section of
the Brisbane Airport Link, Brisbane. 15
hours of pouring to a total of 2,800m³ was
completed to form the roofing for the middle
piece of the 6.7km, $4.2 billion Airport Link
tunnel which will connect the Clem7 tunnel
to the Brisbane Airport by 2012.

FEATURED BUSINESS
KELPIE CONCRETE
Named after the hard-working and
intelligent Australian breed of dog,
Kelpie Concrete pride themselves on hard
work with a very high emphasis on achieving
100% quality and customer satisfaction.
While the Kelpie name has been around for 12 years, partner
Steve Grant has been concreting for 40 years. Prior to starting his
own business, Steve worked with his father Frank, and two
brothers Michael and Tony. After branching out on his own, his son
Nigel came on board in 1993, and then his son-in-law Nick
Simonetti joined the company in 1994. 12 months later Steve
offered Nick a partnership in the company and Kelpie Concrete
was born soon after.
Concreting in the past: Steve (far right) with his father Frank
(rear), brother Tony (centre front) and workmate Peter (left).
Taken ~1974 in their yard at Curl Curl next to their first red
Daihatsu tipper.
The hard-working Kelpie Concrete team
Steve has seen a lot of change occur in the concrete industry in the
last 40 years, and thankfully it’s been for the better. Not only in
regards to safety conditions onsite, but also the attitudes of
concreters themselves, creating a more positive and healthy
environment to work in. In their spare time the Kelpie boys love to
fish, naming Kempsey as their favourite fishing spot.
The majority of Kelpie Concrete’s work is residential, however don’t
let that fool you. They construct the formwork reinforcement and
supply and place the concrete for a lot of builder’s work on existing
homes such as extensions, slabs, driveways and garages. While
some of their projects are considered small, they’ve also worked on

servicing the Manly / Warringah and North Shore areas.
Being a family owned and operated business, Kelpie appreciates
that Metromix is still a family-friendly company that hasn’t become
a corporate giant. As quoted by Steve, it’s a company which
“seems like a family”. As a loyal customer since the formation of
Metromix, Steve goes on to reflect how and by whom Metromix was
named!
When asked what Steve likes about Metromix, he said “The drivers
are great, Garvin Mack (Account Manager) is phenomenal at what
he does and is a great person, the product is great, and the staff
are always willing to listen and rectify problems. You always get an
answer and a solution to a problem”.
Another successful Kelpie Concrete job almost complete!
