In the dynamic construction world, Azzurri Concrete stands as a leader in the concrete industry, exemplifying precision and excellence.

Azzurri played a crucial role in the construction of a $1 billion warehouse precinct by Fraser Property Industrial, Aware Super, and Altis Partners. They contributed their expertise to the impressive 110,000m² single-floor plate, the largest of its kind in New South Wales.

Azzurri was responsible for supplying, placing, and pumping all the concrete, tasks that required precise execution and a partnership with Western Suburbs Concrete for specialised mix designs.

Additionally, Azzurri handled pad footing excavation, reinforcement, sand, structural steel hold-down bolt installation, and fire tank piling works, demonstrating their versatility and industry leadership.

The project’s technical demands, particularly the requirement for an exceptionally flat floor, were met with Azzurri’s innovative approach and investment in advanced equipment. They strategically added state-of-the-art machinery to their fleet, including Riding Trowels from Allen in the USA, and Boom Laser Screeds from Somero Enterprises. This cutting-edge equipment, combined with the expertise of their highly skilled team, ensured remarkable flatness results without the need for corrective grinding across the entire 110,000m² of slabs.

Despite the heavy season of rainfall and COVID-19 challenges, Azzurri’s team demonstrated resilience and efficiency, completing their work by July 2023. This project is a testament to Azzurri’s capability to navigate adversities while maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency.

At the project’s peak, Azzurri had 120 staff and 70 subcontractors on site, working tirelessly to meet deadlines and deliver superior results. Their innovative approach, commitment to excellence, and strategic management have set a new benchmark in construction.
